- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, 1540 Spring Valley Drive, Huntington, West Virginia has a requirement for professional architectural and engineering firm for Project#581-13-101, Renovate Surgery and Construct Operating Room suite per the statement of work. The current operating room suite construction was completed and occupied in the early 1990's, at which time only rooms 5 and 6 were designed with lead lined, radiation shielded walls. Rooms 1 through 4 do not currently have the radiation shielded walls and these rooms are utilized for orthopedics, neurosurgery, vascular, and general surgeries that routinely require portable fluoroscopy. Rooms 1 and 3 are currently the closest to size appropriate for major procedures, including Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Thoracic, Bariatric, and major Vascular procedures. The current design and traffic patterns do not meet the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN) recommended practices and is cause for concern in several areas including but not limited to privacy/confidentiality issue for the patients, traffic Control/Security issues, and potential Infection Control issues. The corridor leading to rooms 4, 5, & 6, are also the main corridor for all facility personnel to access the surgery administrative offices, resident's room, and meeting room. Staff members are unable to access locker/changing areas without utilizing the same corridor. The mechanical room is also located on the corridor requiring maintenance and contract workers to walk by the surgery rooms. In order to correct the traffic pattern, the entire supporting infrastructure of the surgery department, i.e. all central clean and soiled utility, all staff lockers, lounges and patient control center will need to be relocated. The proposed renovation will directly impact the 12 bed SDS area in which the patients are prepared for procedures and also discharged from this same area. Patient population can range from 22 to 45 individuals serviced in this area during one day. There are no privacy afforded for the patients as they are separated by a cloth curtain and have minimal bathroom facilities, which are not conducive for certain postoperative procedures. OR suites do not meet the new requirements or recommendations from the VA Design Guide Surgical Service. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs Design guide the General Operating Room should be 650 NSF maximum but no less than 450 NSF with a semi-restricted corridor. For a Special Procedure room, according to the design guide, the OR should have 800 NSF maximum but no less than 600 NSF. All the walls need to have x-ray shielding, consisting of a lead membrane in the partition, lead line doors etc. The existing operating room square footage is as follows: 1.OR#6: 316 square feet (sf) - Pain Management, Ophthalmology, Some ENT or Plastics. No equipment support room. 2.OR#5: 328 sf - Cystoscopies, OR#5 equip support room: 50 sf 3.OR#4: 298 sf- Plastics, Podiatry, Urology Cases, Bronchoscopies, minor ortho cases, minor surgical procedures, Lap Cystectomy, Colon Resections OR #4 equipment support room: 137 sf 4.OR#3: 560 sf - Orthopedics (X-Ray), Major General, Bariatric, Thoracic, Vascular, ERCP, No support room 5.OR#2: 394 sf- Major Thoracic, Lap Cystectomy, Plastics, ENT, Bariatric, Major and Minor general surgery, vascular, podiatry, ERCP OR #2 equipment support room: 88 sf 6.OR#1: 598 sf- Neurosurgery, Ortho, Major Vascular, Major abdominal surgery, Bariatric, Major Thoracic, Plastics, ENT, ERCP OR#1 support room: 72 sf Current limitations in the number of Operating Rooms of sufficient size contribute to the following: 1.Only ½ day per week of OR availability for bariatric surgery limits the number of procedures that can be performed; 2.Podiatric surgeries are being scheduled 3 months in advance due to limited OR availability; 3.Inability to increase the number of total joint procedures to provide additional capacity for facilities in and outside of VISN 9; 4.Limitations of our capacity for spinal surgery; 5.Delays in cataract surgery caused by part-time ophthalmologist only being given 1 room on his only day, instead of increasing by "flip flopping" from room to room. Design considerations for reorganizing the entire surgical services 3rd floor of Bldg 1S, Bldg. 1, and Bldg. 1W shall be applicable to make the construction applicable. This includes Same Day Surgery, Recovery Suite, relation of adjacent GI Suite and Pulmonary Functions, as well as the outpatient surgical floor and Optometry areas. Consideration of potential expansion of new space on the roof of Bldg. 1S Imaging file room shall be examined for application of additional support space. Additional HVAC and controls improvements to insure compliance is required, such as HEPA filters and stainless steel ductwork for each OR. Review of emergency electrical system may require running new conduit and wire from basement support panels. Affect of work regarding interruption of second floor Imaging operations, as well as noise levels to the patient floor above shall be applied to this project. The 100% complete design package is required no later than 300 days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The construction cost range is between $5 and $10 million.
