Renovation of an educational facility in San Diego, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Description of Work: The San Diego campus proposes to construct a new 300-375-bed hospital on its Hillcrest campus as the existing Hillcrest Medical Center does not meet the seismic requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1953. In addition to addressing seismic deficiencies, the new medical center would modernize delivery of care, maintain critical services for all patients including those in underserved communities, expand needed services, and position UC San Diego Health to be competitive for many decades. This project will potentially be a phased construction to build the hospital in 1 or more phases. The proposed project is anticipated to be 700,000-1,000,000 square feet of space (phased delivery) for an estimated total of 300-375 inpatient beds, an emergency department, operating and procedure rooms, advanced radiology, and clinical support services space. The hospital will be located on an 8.25-acre site on the northern edge of the Hillcrest campus where there are currently three research facilities and temporary modular buildings which would be demolished prior to construction of the hospital. The proposed project will also include a central utilities plant, a 1,000 to 1,200 space parking structure, an office building and roadway and circulation improvements. If phased, there is the possibility of a connection to the existing facility as well as renovations to both the existing facility, and in the future, the initial phases of construction. Project duration is 2,556 calendar days (730 Preconstruction Days and 1,826 Construction Days). Bid Security in the amount of 10% of the Anticipated Contract Amount shall accompany each Bid. The surety issuing the Bid Bond shall be, on the Bid Deadline, an admitted surety insurer (as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120). The apparent responsible bidder will be selected on the basis of the Best Value to the University.

The best value to the University is the selection resulting in the best combination of price and qualifications. The successful Bidder and its subcontractors will be required to follow the nondiscrimination requirements set forth in the Bidding Documents and to pay prevailing wage rates at the location of the work.
