Project Description The Project includes the design and construction of a new 50-Bed Maximum Security Facility at Rio Grande Center Campus in Harlingen, Texas. The proposed building(s) will incorporate approximately 80,000 square feet of program space, and a variety of other outdoor space, creating an environment that promotes wellness and rehabilitation for the patients. The program space will include private patient rooms; shared and specialized support space for patients; administration space; diagnostic and treatment space; etc. The program space will also include the support programs areas that are necessary to support the operations of the hospital like food services, laundry, supply services and other programs. The design and construction of the building should provide optimized care and treatment opportunities, focusing on privacy; minimizing the sense of confinement, noise, and crowding; ample natural light and access to nature; and increased communication and visibility. The scope of the Project may encompass demolition of existing utilities as needed to implement the design, including replacement, restoration, or renovation, hazardous materials abatement planning, and consulting services. The Project may include archaeological surveys that involve working with the Texas Historical Commission. A mandatory requirement of the Project is the assessment of existing campus utilities; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and capacities for implementation of the design to extend the useful life of the new building(s) for more than 50 years. Site improvements to existing campus drives, parking, ramps, sidewalks, landscaping, landscape irrigation and campus utilities shall be implemented, as necessary, to accomplish the intended goals of Project. It is expected that the design team will fulfill the mandatory requirements, but the Contractor will be required to review and confirm the assessments. The Project schedule is very critical for the timely delivery and completion of the Project. To meet the Project timeline, HHSC is planning to have GMP at the end of the design development package or 50% Construction Documents package. Early packages might need to be issued for an early start. The phasing and early packages and the timeline associated will be finalized once the A/E team and CMR team are on board. CMR will provide appropriate Services to ensure the proper flow of information is provided to enable appropriate input into and output from the BIM, including, but not limited to, importing information into the BIM, providing updated information on changes to the Project plans and specifications during construction, assisting on conflict resolution, coordinating the sharing of information, facilitating file exchange, and other deliverables as needed.
