Description

DESCRIPTION: This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice for the following services under project number 626A4-15-103 - "A/E Design FOR Renovate Emergency Room" at the Alvin C. York VAMC of the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro Tennessee, 37129. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL; NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL AFTER AN EVALUATION HAS BEEN MADE ON THE PROVIDED SF-330. Interested firms should submit their current SF 330 to Lori A. Krohn, Contracting Officer NCO9, 1639 Medical Center Parkway, Room 406, Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37129. The SF 330s are due on November 10, 2014 at 2:00pm Central Time. Contractor visits and phone calls to the facility to discuss this announcement are not permitted. The Nashville VA Medical Center is seeking professional architect/engineering firms to provide all necessary architectural and engineering services as required to prepare complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports, and cost estimates, including services throughout construction for the Renovate Emergency Room, Project #626A4-15-103. Work includes electrical, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, and industrial hygiene. I.GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK: The A/E shall provide all necessary architectural and engineering services as required to prepare complete contract drawings, specifications, technical reports, and cost estimates, including services throughout construction for "Renovate Emergency Room" at the historic Alvin C. York VAMC at 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro TN 37129. This project will renovate approximately 9920 square feet of the existing layout in the Emergency Department, including adjacent waiting area and administrative spaces to a state of the art center, in keeping with community standards of excellence in health care. The needs addressed include safety, Veteran and employee comfort and satisfaction, access, availability of ancillary services, patient confidentiality and adequate, direct vehicular access. This renovation will optimize processes of care, staffing patterns, and management methods. This project will also physically and visually separate access to functions while providing security and privacy. The project will clearly define the intended order of reception, registration and treatment through better arrangement of space and defined flow. Work includes, but is not limited to, mechanical, electrical, controls, security, data/communications, plumbing, demolition, life safety, fire alarm, sprinkler systems, interior design, and architectural. II. STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES: It is the intent of the Department of Veterans Affairs to have the A/E fully survey, investigate, and document the existing space and utility systems in order to gain the knowledge and insight necessary to prepare quality, accurate documents in a professional and competent manner. A.This project will eliminate semi-private exam rooms and create private exam rooms to meet the patient privacy goals as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The number of exam rooms will be expanded to accommodate the VA projected patient encounters. B.The new patient centered Emergency Department will increase capacity as well as increase patient, family and staff satisfaction. C.Design will improve patient monitoring and control, physical security and elopement control. D.The design will include Mental Health observation rooms. E.The waiting room will be expanded to provide adequate seating and restroom facilities. F.The renovation will consolidate Emergency Room (ER) functions. G.Provide for efficient patient and staff circulation throughout the space to optimize patient care and flow from reception through discharge. H.Design shall incorporate measures to enhance staff and visitor safety and protection such as hard barriers, monitoring and urgent egress, etc. I.Design shall incorporate such features as a quiet, observation and isolation rooms. III. Existing Conditions in the Emergency Department: A.The current Emergency Department open bay layout does not meet the patient privacy goals as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Currently patients and families can overhear confidential patient consultations that are being conducted just feet away. By providing private exam rooms this goal can be realized. B.Unsecured doors allow anybody to wander into the treatment areas compromising patient/staff safety and privacy. The new design will provide secured and monitored access. C.Nursing staff currently has only one path of egress from the nurse station. In the case of threats against the staff or response to an emergency situation, personnel have only the one avenue of escape. Multiple lines of egress will be developed in the new design. D.The current lack of video monitoring and poor department layout do not allow reasonable visual oversight of the entire department. The existing layout does not provide a direct line of sight for the nursing staff to monitor patients. Visual monitoring is critical to quickly discern deterioration of a patient's health. This problem is magnified during high volume periods when the nursing staff is monitoring multiple patients. The new layout and monitoring system will allow for both direct and video observation of all patients awaiting triage, or patients who have been triaged who are waiting for an ER bed for further evaluation and treatment as well as those in the treatment areas. The Medical Center has a high level of duty to maintain observation of patients who have been accepted for care but who are not in the treatment area of the ER. Without the ability to properly monitor patients in the waiting room, a patient's condition could deteriorate without the staff's knowledge. E.Up to 6 patients are currently receiving medical procedures in chairs in front of the nurse station. This condition infringes on corridor space, impeding safe traffic flow, emergency response and is a life safety code egress violation. It also concentrates noise in and around the nurse station leading to missed calls/alarm situations and documented case of order misinterpretation. The new design will provide for more beds to effectively treat this overflow of patients and prevent unnecessary overflow. F.The outdated HVAC control system and leaking duct work does not provide adequate heating and cooling, leaving some areas hot and some cold. It also does not provide the required negative and positive pressure rooms as outlined in the VA Space Planning Criteria and the HVAC Design Manual. The new design will bring the mechanical system into compliance by providing the required pressures, Air Changes, Inside Design and Exhaust conditions. Additionally it will allow for Direct Digital Control monitoring of these systems to ensure rapid response to system failures and pinpoint troubleshooting actions. G.The electrical system does not provide balanced emergency and normal power to ensure operations continue in the event of a power loss. The new design will address and correct this issue. IV.STATEMENT OF A/E TASKS: A.The A/E shall furnish complete design development documents, construction documents, and construction period services as specified in this Statement of Work. 1. Necessary site survey work and evaluation such as verifying existing conditions, verifying record drawings, and verifying and analyzing utility systems shall be accomplished in conjunction with preparation of Design Development. A/E shall furnish documentation and drawings of these findings, and address deficiencies in the design process. 2. The complete site survey work shall include a thorough investigation of existing conditions to accurately document and convey space dimensions for measured drawings, all utilities for affected areas, and utilities that traverse through affected areas, typical construction type and variations, and finishes. This information provides the necessary base drawings for the Schematic Development phase of Design Development. 3. Utility system verification shall include, necessary testing, adjusting, and/or balancing of affected systems to ascertain the existing operating and performance conditions that will impact the design and construction process. Systems that are insufficient in capacity or are no longer supported by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts shall be considered for expansion and/or replacement. B.The A/E shall provide cost estimation, project scheduling and phasing, bid period and construction period services as further described in the contract. C. A/E shall develop and execute a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan that demonstrates the team and method of review for the project plans and specifications. The QA/QC plan shall be submitted to the VA along with the project schedule and shall describe each QA/QC task that will be taken during the development of the various design submission packages and the name of the Contractor member responsible for QA/QC.
