C--A&E Modernize Inpatient Wards Project Number: 642-19-801

DESCRIPTION OF WORK Provide professional Architectural and Engineering (A/E) services including the investigative survey and verification of as-built conditions required to fully develop construction documents for the complete renovation of an existing area on the 5th and 6th floor South of Building 1 at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (CMCVAMC). The new space will be renovated to create new inpatient wards on floors 5 and 6 South. The inpatient wards will have single patient rooms, private bathrooms, and in-room dialysis. The goal of the project will be to maximize the number of single rooms per floor. The project will need to be phased on each floor as well as phasing it on floor at a time. The existing dialysis unit located on 6 South will need to remain active until the rooms come online and the inpatient support staff currently located on 5 and 6 South will need to be relocated as part of this project. The total area to be renovated is approximately 9,100 square feet on the 5th floor and 10,500 square feet on the 6th floor. The A /E shall also develop phasing plans for the project which will take into consideration keeping dialysis operational through the completion of the project as well as working on 1 floor at a time. The selected A/E firm will be required to collaborate with the CMCVAMC and Office of Construction & Facilities Management Staff and VA Design Guides to determine structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing design requirements. The firm will also attend programming meetings with Medical Center Engineering staff. Drawings concerning the existing conditions will be provided to the selected A/E firm but are for reference only, until they have been verified by the selected AE design team.
