- 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 Solicitation 528A720-03,=20 Project 528-705 Separate OR Preparation and Recovery Rooms at the VA Medical Center, Syracuse, NY. This project involves construction within the surgical suite to separate the existing pre/post- operative area (recovery area and holding area) and to include a pain nerve block procedure area. Renovation of the existing space, approximately 6,570 square feet (30 rooms) on the 4th floor adjacent to the operating rooms is planned to include: a five-bed recovery area and a separate five-bed holding room with a centrally located nursing station. A 5-bed separate pain/nerve block unit will be constructed. The total configuration will include 5 monitoring beds, five observation beds and five procedure beds and other ancillary rooms. All areas adjacent to the construction area will remain occupied and surgical procedures will be ongoing during normal working hours during the construction. There would be some impact on the surgical caseload during the time of construction. Accommodations will need to be made during construction to offset the impact of the construction. The project will include providing all necessary utility infrastructure including, electricity, plumbing, medical gases, telephone and computer network. Design services for asbestos abatement, if found to be required at any time during the project, shall be included. Asbestos Monitoring services during construction will not be required of the A/E.

Specifications shall be compiled from VA master specifications and are available on the internet at =20 http://www.va.gov/facmgt/standard/. =20 Selection of the Architect/Engineer will be based on specialized experience(see block 10 of SF254, items 048,055,089,and 100), capability of the firm to perform, professional qualifications of the staff to be assigned to the project(Block 4 of SF255), 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.
