Correct Operating Room Deficiencies - VA Project No.: 659-16-101
This project will renovate 15,000 square feet to primarily correct deficiencies related directly to the insufficient size of our operating rooms, number and the configuration of our operating room suite. In addition to the problems stemming from the lack of adequate operating room size and number we have a significant problem with adequate storage space for supplies and equipment and staff spaces. The V6 Chief Medical Officer and Chief, Surgery and our VISN Executives have assessed our operating room suites, evaluated numerous options, and realized that the best solution to improve our operating rooms is to create new operating rooms in a separate location immediately adjacent to and above to our Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and current Operating Rooms. This project will incorporate new operating room space at the 5th floor level by renovating existing space. There will be new and enlarged multipurpose (hybrid) operating rooms that are to replace existing operating rooms that do not meet standards. Adequate support spaces will also be included to enhance the available equipment storage and support service spaces. The current nurse station is to be re-designed. We will rectify FCA issues for architectural, electrical and plumbing. Finally, we will also improve energy efficiencies and install vertical transport systems to correct OR and SPS interaction deficiencies.
Perform all work without disruption to Medical Center operations. Normal administrative hours: 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday (Excluding Federal Holidays). Normal working hours shall be between 7:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. Authorization to work other than normal working hours will be requested in advance for evaluation and approval by the COR and Contracting.
Period of Performance: Five Hundred Forty (540) calendar days.
