81320 The Great Lakes Health Care System is actively seeking partners
to utilize its vacant space on its North Chicago Campus in exchange
for a fee. It contemplates issuing "Use of Space Agreement (s)"
authorized by Title 38 USC 8153 to implement the objective of
generating revenue from private sector sources for use in Veterans
Health Care Programs. The VAMC North Chicago campus is located in a
highly desirable area in Lake County. The campus is a 58-building
campus style complex situated on 226 acres west of Great Lakes Naval
Training Center and north of Finch University of Health Sciences/The
Chicago Medical School. Located midway between Milwaukee and Chicago
and close proximity to interstate 94 and Route 41. Within the past few
years the North Chicago Campus has undergone an extensive capital
improvement program to upgrade some of the building spaces and
supporting utility infrastructure. As a result of VANC program changes
there is space currently vacant and available at the VA North Chicago
Campus. The setting is ideal for health care, business offices,
assisted living, nursing home, senior housing and other similar
occupancies that can benefit veterans and the population at large. The
possibility exists for the VANC to provide certain
administrative/clinical support services needed by the occupant as part
of any resulting agreement, (i.e. lab service, food services, etc.).
Priority consideration will be given to sources expressing an intention
to use the property for purposes that are consistent with and support
of the VANCHCS health care mission. The following is a description of
each of the available spaces: Building 1, partially occupied, 43,131

is Joint Commission Accreditation of Healthcare Organization compliant,
handicapped accessible building that was completely renovated in 1996.
The third floor is available and designed and equipped for use as a 60
bed Acute Inpatient Ward. The newly renovated space has not been
utilized. It includes new heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
electrical, nurses call system, private or shared baths, medical gas
systems, offices and conference rooms. Portions of the fourth floor are
available for expansion to house one 30 bed inpatient care ward. It is
also JCAHO compliant. Note: Limited parking spaces to support partners
use of buildings can be made available as part of any resulting
agreement. It is anticipated that agreements will be for a 20-year
period or less. Renovation cost to accommodate the use intended by
partner will be borne by the partner. Renovation will first be approved
by the VA and will be in compliance with VA construction standards. We
