- Description
- Provide multi-discipline Architect-Engineer (AE) services for design and other supporting services for the project entitled, Construct Endoscopy and Central Processing located at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Spokane, Washington. Work will include, but not limited to, the completion of design development and working drawings and specifications for the construction of two new second floor additions to Building One. This will relocate the Endoscopy/GI Suite from the sixth floor, to a roughly 6000 square foot second floor addition above main entrance of building 1; and, Supply, Processing and Distribution (SPD) relocated from eighth floor to a 9000 square foot second floor addition above a newly constructed Specialty Care/Pharmacy addition. Project will include the remodel of 1200 square feet of existing space in Building 1 as part of the interface between existing and new construction, as well as expansion of the lab into a portion of 9000 square feet addition. Additional requirements include: 1) analyze existing utility capacities of existing campus to support the new addition. Utilities to be analyzed include, but are not limited to water/waste, power, heating/cooling, and communications (including data management) and to provide a written report of findings including recommendations for any identified deficiencies and estimated associated costs. 2) Phasing and coordination of construction and relocation as required minimizing the impact of the construction/relocation process, and access and operation of the Medical Center. 3) Evaluate existing and future Endoscopy, SPD, and laboratory space and equipment requirements to be used within the new space. This evaluation to be based on work flow, work volume, and research of VA program space requirements. It will be the responsibility of the A/E resources to develop a schematic design utilizing a space program developed by the A/E and approved by the user group. Provide written report of findings including recommendations and preliminary schematic costs. 4) Existing 9000 SF Pharmacy/Specialty Care building was designed for second floor addition.
