R -- NIH SEEKS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER DUE 041495 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking development manager for renewal of the main biomedical research facility on its campus in Bethesda, Maryland.The primary clinic research facility of the National Institutes of Health (''NIH''), known as the Clinical Center Complex, includes extensive clinical areas, inpatient beds, research laboratory modules, vivarium facilities, support services, and administrative offices.The major part of the Complex is over 40 years old; its utility infrastructure systems are at the end of their useful life and their capacity is inadequate for present day biomedical research and healthcare demands.Furthermore, there are significant functional deficiencies throughout the facility due to over crowding that has been brought about by new thrusts in research coupled with the proliferation of scientific, medical, and electronic equipment for research and clinical work.The renewal of the Clinical Center Complex involves the initial replacement of the present clinical care units with a new 850,000 square foot clinical research facility, which will contain 250 inpatient beds and associated research laboratories.The estimated construction cost for the new downsized hospital and its related laboratories facility is about $380 million.The Development Manager will be expected to provide on a fee basis full development services for the renewal, including: (a) formulation of the overall acquisition strategy for the renewal; (b) development of financing alternatives for the project; (c) procurement of planning, design, construction, and other services as necessary for the project; and (d) provision of project management services throughout the planning, design, construction, activation, and occupancy phases of the renewal process.NIH does not see any merit for a development manager in joint venturing with an architectural/engineering firm, a construction management firm, or a clinical research facility specialist at this time.NIH intends to select design consultants and a construction manager in coordination with the selected development manager.Parties interested in receiving consideration for this project must have demonstrated experience in providing full development services for projects of equivalent size, complexity, and type of client with a high degree of customer satisfaction.In addition, they must be experienced in interacting positively with communities, as well as local, state, and Federal governments.All parties interested in receiving the official Request for Qualifications (RFQ) must submit their letter of interest by close of business, April 14, 1995, to: General Services Administration, 7th and D Streets, SW, Room 7921, Washington, DC 20407, Attn: Mr. James Smale, (202) 205-5255.
