- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) New England District, in support of the Veterans Affairs Office of Construction and Facilities Management (VA CFM), will host an Industry Day for the New Surgical and Clinical Space Tower project.� The project is planned to be issued on or about July 2023.� A construction contract is anticipated to be awarded in Fiscal Year 2024. The value of the construction project is estimated between $250,000,000.00 � $500,000,000.00. The purpose of this Industry Day is to improve industry�s understanding of project requirements; answer questions on the New Surgical and Clinical Space Tower project; provide an overview of potential acquisition strategies (to include Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC)) for this project; and gain an understanding of how industry can support this construction.� This is the first of multiple engagements USACE intends on conducting with industry for this project.� The event will be held virtually, on October 20th, 2022 from 10:00am to 12:00pm. �Topics to be included in this presentation will be include Project Overview, Current Design, Current Construction Acquisition Approach, Industry Engagement Timeline, and a Q&A session.� Contractors interested in participating can join online via the following link: https://dod.teams.microsoft.us/l/meetup-join/19%3adod%3ameeting_6db2a63bcc7e487a8d6bb3fbc9caf956%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22fc4d76ba-f17c-4c50-b9a7-8f3163d27582%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22595390bc-826b-4435-8461-40edf8b51d87%22%7d Overview: The new Surgical and Clinical Space Tower to be constructed is intended to upgrade and consolidate existing clinical and direct patient care spaces to current standards of patient care.� General utilities serving the space are also outdated and require updating and upgrading including heating (steam), electrical, and medical gas systems.� The following project scope is based upon the recommendations contained in the Final Project Book � a document intended to provide a thorough technical evaluation to establish the requirements for the project, covering site and any existing building conditions, utilities, the final Space and Equipment Planning System (SEPS) Program for Design (PFD) baseline, and Preliminary Room Contents (PRC). The scope of the project includes the construction of an approximately 162,000 GSF multi (at least three) story tower, the demolition of approximately 40,000 GSF (Buildings 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, and 10) of existing out buildings, and the renovation of approximately 40,000 GSF of vacated space from the main hospital building (Building 1) after the surgical services are relocated to the new tower.� The tower is planned to be constructed north of Building 1 and be connected to it via direct addition, and multiple corridors and/or catwalks to Buildings 1 & 5 in an area presently occupied by a parking lot and the buildings to be demolished.� Major impacts to existing infrastructure include relocation and expansion of multiple utility distribution systems impacted by the new construction, new utility tunnels, additional steam plant and on-site water storage capacity, new electrical substations, parking and road network reconfigurations, and re-grading of site/construction of retaining walls.� Use of swing space and phasing is expected to be needed to minimize impacts to current campus operations. Specialized construction requirements include operating rooms, intensive care units, pathology, endoscopy, laboratories, mental health spaces and supporting spaces that meet all DVA infection control standards; associated complex and specialized HVAC and electrical requirements; medical gas distribution systems, nurse call systems, pneumatic tube distribution systems, medical security, and alarming systems that will all need to be integrated with existing systems; and management of biological hazardous waste.� The new tower will need to integrate seamlessly with the other buildings on campus.� New construction and demolition will need to be coordinated with the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).� Renovations will include extensive architectural modifications and upgrades to all impacted building systems to include localized seismic upgrades.� Site improvements will include access roads, replacement parking, utilities, landscaping, and all other work necessary to provide a complete and usable project.� It is expected that the project will be constructed to comply with the 2016 Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings (Guiding Principles) and can be certified to meet LEED Silver. Current proposed phasing approach is to 1a) provide temporary facilities for the displaced personnel; demolish existing buildings; 1b) relocate utilities to be impacted by the new construction and upgrade campus infrastructure plant & utilities; 2) construct new surgical and clinical tower; and 3) renovate vacated spaces.� The medical center will remain operational at all times during the construction of this project.�
