The building will be modified for construction access to the magnet room, utilities will be upgraded to the requirements of the new MRI unit and after MRI installation by a 3rd party, the temporary construction modifications to the building will be removed and the building will be restored to an as-found condition. SCOPE OF WORK FOR A/E The Architect or architect/engineer firm capable of preparing all design and construction documentation including, but not limited to, design, and construction oversite (including final as-built drawings) at the Harry S Truman Veterans' Memorial Hospital (HSTVMH) in Columbia MO. Prime contractor shall have, at least, the following licensed/registered specialty disciplines be members of the firm, or team, with demonstrable expertise in their respective fields: Architect, Structural Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Life Safety Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Plumbing, Communication (voice & data), Electrical Engineer, and Cost Estimator with experience on projects of similar size and complexity. The A/E design firm shall furnish all necessary architectural and engineering resources to provide a complete construction design package and construction period services. Architect / Engineer shall provide professional design services for the Install Equipment Site Prep project. The project shall include the following, along with all other design facets deemed necessary by the VA and Architect/Engineering firm for the completion of this project: a. Design shall meet all applicable/current codes for roofing, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and life safety, VA standards, VA Design Manuals, and VA Design Guides. b. Security, access control, and surveillance to be tied into the existing security system; c. Building Management System to be tied into the existing Building Management System; d. All plumbing shall comply with VHA Directive 1061; This project shall include the design of the building modifications to remove the existing MRI, the utility changes required to operate the replacement MRI and the restoration of all temporary modifications made to the building to support this work. Coordination meetings will be held at design milestones to verify key stakeholder needs are being met. Base bid will include a work required to remove the existing MRI, upgrade the infrastructure to meet all requirements of the replacement MRI and restore the MRI suite to it s original configuration. The design should account for constructability and ensuring the construction is capable of being completed safely with minimal impact to the medical center operations. Anticipated time for completion of design is 137 calendar days including time for VA reviews. SITE INVESTIGATION A/E shall be responsible for conducting site visits for the purpose of data gathering, investigation and documentation of all existing conditions. Perform such investigations as required to accurately verify all existing conditions. Do not rely solely upon "as built" drawings. VA personnel will provide assistance with investigating the project site where prior experience with equipment and utilities will produce an appreciable advantage. The A/E firm shall be responsible for site review of the existing facility in order to field verify the owner's existing documents and as-built drawings. Any modifications that are required to be made as a result of the site review shall be communicated to the VA and corrected by the A/E firm. All site investigation shall be completed during the site investigation phase. It is important to emphasize that the A/E shall perform site investigation, design development, detailed design work, prepare detailed construction documents, keeping in mind that the end result is a completely functional and fully operational product. The A/E must consider constructability and maintaining hospital operations while designing the project. This will include phasing of construction and utility impacts. The A/E must be able to respond to issues in a timely manner, to include being on-site within 24 hours. This is due to the need to keep this project progressing and on time, avoiding any delay claims. As construction is heavy in the area, contractors are on tight schedules to schedule trades and equipment. Having an A/E that can be onsite within 24 hours allows emerging issues to quickly and efficiently be solved. The final design documents from a resultant task order will be subject to review and approval (by signature) of all members of an Integrated Project Team (IPT) consisting of medical center personnel. These individuals will be identified by the COR at the first design review meeting.
