This is a 100% total small business set aside. The A/E shall provide complete design services (preliminary concepts and layouts, program development, investigative services, preparation of contract drawings and specifications, cost estimating services, and construction period services) for Renovation for multi-functional Outpatient Exam Rooms, Project 528A7-12-703. This project proposes to completely redesign an existing office suite located on the existing ground floor center core area for the creation of both women's health outpatient clinical exam rooms and space, as well as outpatient clinical exam rooms and space for Compensation and Pension care clinic. The A/E will need to ensure that this space meets current space needs and patient privacy standards, along with improving the current patient care environment to enhance clinical practices. The project will redesign utilizing the space criteria set forth in the VA SEPS programming guide with modifications as required. The project will consist of converting approximately 4,800 sf of space that is currently being utilized as an interim pharmacy locations while the new pharmacy area is being renovated, to include clinical space, waiting areas and medication storage space. The design will need to ensure that the existing footprint is completely reconfigured to include wall demolitions, ceilings, flooring, asbestos abatement and electrical and mechanical systems. The design must replace all electrical and mechanical systems and relocate fire protection as necessary to provide new exam room clinical space. This project will completely demolish the necessary existing walls, electric, lighting, ceiling, floor tile, asbestos mastic abatement, mechanical ductwork for the current temporary pharmacy space on the ground floor and will redesign a new suite of approximately 4,800 sf. It is expected that all new electric and mechanical will be required from existing services unless infrastructure increases are necessary, completely new plumbing and drains will need to be run and all architectural finishes will be new and be similar in material to the existing environment and to match the requirements of each clinic. Of the new exam rooms each room will be outfitted with standard primary care furnishings and utilities to match the rest of the outpatient care clinics. This will include such items as an exam room, hand-washing sink, cabinetry, table, IS cabling and build in work stations. Some of these rooms may also need medical gasses and suction. The intent is for the design to occur during FY2012 with construction in FY2013.
