Description of Project Rogue Community College (RCC) is seeking to contract with a general contractor for the renovation of an existing building located on the Redwood Campus Building-E for Allied Health Training. The Rogue Community College Allied Health Program is an established and popular set of offerings provided at the College's Table Rock Campus near Medford, Jackson County, Oregon. The program grew to its current size over the past six years as part of the Health Profession Opportunity Grant-funded Southern Oregon HOPE program. Programs include training necessary to obtain careers in the medical assistant, nursing assistant, phlebotomy, pharmacy technician, medical office, and dental assistant fields; the average annual cohort size is approximately 30 students per program. With most programs being centralized in Jackson County, it requires all students who live in Josephine County to commute for educational training, which creates barriers to attendance for many rural students, especially those living in the Illinois Valley (a one-way commute from O'Brien, Josephine County, to the Table Rock Campus can take 90 minutes or more, for example). Opportunities for employment in health care in Josephine County are high and expanding program offerings to Josephine County and its unique labor market needs will help get students into these high demand careers. Local industry partners and high schools are looking to partner with RCC to train the workforce of tomorrow today. Allied Health is dedicated to helping reach rural, high poverty locations to provide short-term, affordable health care training opportunities that are in high demand. Employers need trained and certified employees who would also like to grow within health care businesses to start a strong pipeline that helps reduce generational poverty over time. Most of Rogue Community College's Healthcare Training programs in Allied Health and Nursing currently occupy approximately 23,000 square feet of total assignable space at the Table Rock Campus, with one training operated in temporary space at the Redwood Campus. Project Scope The project consists of construction/renovation of an existing 10,000 square foot building to include but not limited to the following: demolition, limited sitework, limited roof replacement, complete interior removal and replacement, complete MEP replacement, fire alarm, exterior lighting, concrete curbs gutters and sidewalks, limited landscaping and irrigation, interior signage, interior finishes, and limited OFCI work.
