Description

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK The Architect / Engineering firm shall plan and design upgrades to comply with USP 800 and USP 797 at the Nashville Campus, renovating approximately 4200 square feet. The design consultant shall provide all necessary architectural and engineering (A/E) services to completely evaluate the pharmacy Compounding Sterile Preparations (CSP) operations, processes and infrastructure in existing and adjacent affected spaces in order to develop concepts and provide a complete design. The A/E shall provide space planning, testing, technical reports, layouts, calculations, sizing, narratives, estimates, schedules and phasing plans to present concepts and fully discuss options. After the optimal solution is selected, the A/E shall develop a complete design and produce construction bid documents. Professional disciplines include, but are not limited to, USP design specialist(s), architectural, life safety, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, communications, security, access controls, industrial hygiene and commissioning. STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND CONCEPT It is the intent of the VA TVHS to be USP 800 compliant by December 2019, while also increasing the quality of USP 797 facilities and operations. In the current facility planning concept for the project, Human Resources (HR) is relocated, so the pharmacy can expand, enabling USP improvements. A space within the hospital will be renovated, for HR to relocate to their new space, then the previous HR space, adjacent to the pharmacy, will be renovated to provide the new USP 800 and USP 797 operations. The existing USP 797 space will remain operational until the new USP 800 and USP 797 space is commissioned and in service, then the existing USP 797 containment rooms will be converted for pharmacy operations. The A/E will fully investigate, survey, test, analyze, interview key personnel, document existing conditions, infrastructure, systems, equipment and processes, to gain the knowledge and insight necessary to prepare a quality design to meet the following objectives: Upgrade USP 797 operations and containment rooms Provide USP 800 compliant containment rooms and operations Increase capacity, productivity and functionality of the Pharmacy Improve flow and alleviate congestion Improve processes and staff efficiency Reduce downtime and improve reliability Promote uniformity between the TVHS campus pharmacy operations at the Nashville and Murfreesboro Campuses Ensure that USP operations can evolve and grow. Currently, the facility needs four hoods (3 positive and 1 negative). However, the current design and construction shall accommodate the future projected program growth with minimal alterations. Plan and design secondary CSP provisions to be used during planned and unplanned outages. Commission the project by implementing a process throughout design, construction, inspecting and testing. The focus shall be on providing a complete, working product that complies with all codes/standards/guidelines. Relocate HR to facilitate the pharmacy expansion, insuring proper design and planning to meet staff needs. In the preliminary planning concept, the existing HR (1500 square-feet) is increased to 1700 to 1850 square-feet as part of the relocation. This procurement will be conducted under the North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) 541310, Architectural Services, and 541330, Engineering Services.
