Y -- REPLACEMENT BASSETT ARMY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, FT WAINWRIGHT, ALASKA SOL DACA85-00-R-0006 DUE 101000 POC Gail M West, 907/753-2551/Contracting Officer, Corps of Engineers The project scope entails the construction of a 32-bed, multi-story replacement hospital to support the military, dependent, and retiree population of Fort Wainwright, Fort Greely, Eielson AFB, and remote military sites north of the Alaska Range, a service area of approximately 46,400 square miles. The project will include health care facilities for internal medicine, general surgery, EENT, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and family practice. Other departments include emergency services, radiology, pathology, food service, physical therapy, pharmacy, labor and delivery, dental treatment, and staff administration. Located in central Alaska, the facility has been designed to accommodate seasonal temperatures between -46 degrees and +28 degrees Centigrade. It incorporates the Integrated Building System (IBS) concept, with two of the three occupied floors having Distribution Zone space for utilities. The facility's outward appearance is a geometric collage of non-concentric circles, pie-shapes, and rectangles of multiple floors and roof levels. Interior public areas reflect this geometric diversity. An attached Central Energy Plant provides the facility with electrical power, steam generation, water, and fuel storage for several days of emergency operation and is a focal point for connection to Post utilities. The project has been designed using metric units; all construction work and documentation by the contractor will be in metric. Advertisement of this work, anticipated for August 2000, will be by Request for Proposal with selection of the successful proposer determined through a Best Value procurement process. Evaluation of proposals will include, as a minimum, consideration of bidder experience, past performance, management, proposed schedule, key personnel, and price. Throughout construction, and in the six-month period following construction, the construction contractor will be required to operate and maintain the facility, as well as provide continued training to the Government Facility Management staff. Maintenance and preventative-maintenance records during these periods will be coordinated electronically through the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington. The project will be phase-funded over several years. This acquisition is the second phase (Phase II) of construction. The first phase included excavation of the hospital footprint, densification of soils beneath the hospital footprint, construction of a project office for Government employees, installation of a construction security fence, realignment of a drainage swale, and minor building demolition. A pre-proposal conference will be held at Fort Wainwright, Alaska during the proposal preparation period.
