- Description
- VA intends to award an Architect/Engineer contract for preparation of working drawings and specifications, cost estimate, submittal review and other construction period services for Project Number 528-704, Construct Addition for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Unit at the VA Medical Center, Syracuse, NY. The purpose of the project is to provide a permanent on-site Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suite. This project will involve the construction of an additional floor to accommodate the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suite. The addition will be placed over an area that was built in 1984 and structurally designed to support two more floor levels. The design will try to comply as much as possible with the goal to align the functionality of services, placing the MRI unit adjacent to the area below the Imaging Department, which is located on the 3rd floor. The construction will meet all applicable Patient Privacy/UFAS/H-08-09 space planning standard/criteria, and will comply with the MRI VA Design Guide. The exception to the recommendations will be that the unit will not be built in the Imaging suite or on the same floor, but below it in order to provide as much staff efficiency as possible. The design entails evaluating the existing areas that adjoin the future MRI suite and determining the optimal way of tying into the space in terms of cost, impact on existing activities and functionality. The designer shall perform a structural analysis to ensure the capability of the existing building to support the new construction and MRI equipment. The VA will inform the designer of the intended make and model of the MRI equipment as soon as possible so as to allow compliance with any specific requirements. This will occur after award of the design contract. The designer will evaluate the electrical power (and other utility) requirements and include all necessary construction to bring necessary utilities to the addition. The project will include providing all telephone and computer network infrastructure required and affected by the construction. Drawings will be CADD generated with Auto Cad 14. Specifications shall be compiled from VA master specifications which are available on the internet. Selection of the Architect/Engineer will be based on specialized experience, capability of the firm to perform, professional qualifications of the staff to be assigned to the project, past performance for VA work and/or similar hospital projects, and the record of past performance in the form of a comparison between their estimates and actual project awards. The area of consideration is restricted to firms within a 165 mile radius of the medical center. Appropriate data for this project must be submitted on Standard Forms 254 and 255 no later than January 22, 2002. Submission should emphasize experience on similar projects. This is not a request for proposals. NAICS 54131 applies. Construction cost estimate is between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.
