Renovation of a medical facility in Newark, New Jersey. Completed plans call for the renovation of a 1,284-square-foot medical facility.

The existing endoscopy suite consists of 5,900 sf located on Level E of the main hospital. The suite contains six existing procedure rooms, endoscope processing room, separate pre-and postprocedure patient care areas. Functional support areas include staff lounge, locker rooms, toilets, and showers. Additionally, there is an existing soiled utility room with clinical sink and bedpan hopper, clean supply storage, linen closet, and endoscope processing room with adjacent scope storage. Three of the existing patient toilet rooms are not handicap compliant. Administrative components include nurse manager office, fellows' office, and fellows' workstation area. The program currently utilizes four of the six procedure rooms, the two largest of which are approximately 350 square feet. The largest two of the four existing special procedure rooms, #1 and #2, will be retrofitted with updated lighting, flooring and equipment booms to accommodate monitoring, ceiling mounted exam lights and boom mounted monitoring equipment. All work in Procedure Rooms #1 & #2 will be completed by the vendor supplying the lights and booms and is excluded from the Work under this RFP. Two of the remaining procedure rooms, #11 and #12, will remain in service while rooms #3 and #5 will be re-purposed to accommodate storage and expanded patient holding space. The current post-procedure area accommodates four patient cubicles, separated by curtain. The existing size and clearances do not comply with 2018 FGI guideline space requirements. Preprocedural area is located within an adjacent medical surgical unit in private patient rooms allocated for the special procedure's suite. The pre- and post- procedure holding areas will be consolidated to accommodate seven patient bays and create an eight-foot clearance isle outside the patient bay area. A larger and more functional staff station will be installed to monitor patient flow from pre- and post- procedural areas. The intent of the project is to re-organize the existing suite to improve patient flow, maximize staffing, and provide support services in compliance with ADA accessibility requirements and FGI Guidelines.
