Amendment 00001 CONTRACT INFORMATION: The Division of Engineering Services (DES), Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services is seeking qualified and multi-discipline architect and engineer (A-E) firms to submit Standard Form 330 (SF330) Architect / Engineer Statement of Qualifications for A-E Services to design a replacement Whiteriver Hospital, a 395,844 gross square foot building. DES intends to award one (1) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) A-E Contract in support of this requirement. This is a new procurement. It does not replace an existing contract. No prior contract information exists. LOCATION: The building site is located in eastern Arizona in the community of Whiteriver on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The project is located near 200 W Hospital Dr, Whiteriver, AZ 85941, where the current 83,785 square foot, Whiteriver Indian Hospital (WIH) is located. SCOPE: The A-E firm shall prepare a Construction Documents Package to be used to select a general contractor to construct the replacement Whiteriver Hospital, and perform Construction Contract Administration Services (CCAS) during the construction period. It is anticipated that the AE will be retained to perform limited construction contract solicitation services during the solicitation period, and CCAS during the construction period. The anticipated period of performance is 540 days after Notice to Proceed for design, 270 days for the construction solicitation period, and an additional 1095 days for CCAS. The overall design, solicitation, and construction period of performance is estimated to be 1905 calendar days. Originally constructed in 1979, the current 83,785 square foot, Whiteriver Indian Hospital (WIH) is 43 years old, and is located in eastern Arizona in the community of Whiteriver on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. The existing hospital is located about three miles north of Whiteriver and serves approximately 17,050 users (White Mountain Apache Tribe (WMAT) Tribal members and other AI/ANs living in communities around the area). The new 395,844 Square Foot hospital is planned to serve a Primary Service Area (PSA) projected user population of 19,088 in 2030. The Whiteriver Service Unit (WSU) services will include Primary Care, Dental, Eye Care, Social Services, Health Education, Public Health Nursing, Public Health Nutrition, Wellness Center, Audiology, Emergency Care, Medical and Surgical Specialty Care, Podiatry, Medical/Surgical/Pediatric Acute Care, Low-Risk Labor & Delivery, comprehensive Diagnostic Imaging, full Rehabilitation Services, and Environmental Health. The construction site is geographically limited, which presents the unique challenge of locating the 395,844 gross square foot building, and 1,335 parking spaces on the partially sloping, 14 acres at the south side of the existing hospital campus. The Estimated Construction Cost is $500,000,000.00. In accordance with FAR 36.609, the project will be subject to FAR clause 52.236-22 Design Within Funding Limitations. 2.
