Demolition, site work and addition to a medical facility in Nokomis, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a medical facility; for the demolition of a medical facility; and for site work for a medical facility.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The scope of work for this project includes architectural and engineering services for the development of a 2-story expansion (the 2-story expansion) to the existing Sarasota Memorial Hospital-Venice (SMH-V) campus. Each level will be approximately 12,000 square feet, and the building will be approximately 24,000 square feet total. Level one will consist of a four-zone MRI suite, interventional radiology suite, prep recovery bays, procedure rooms, reading rooms and all associated circulation, life safety, and clinical support space. Level two will be shell space for a future expansion. The project is located at 2600 Laurel Road East, North Venice, FL 34275. The architectural and engineering services will include, but are not limited to, site planning, permitting documentation, City presentations, public meetings, community meetings, programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration for all planning, architectural, interior design, civil, site work, and site work infrastructure. The site work infrastructure also includes, but is not limited to, public utilities, communications providers, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and structural design work for the development of the 2-story expansion, associated business services, and the required support services required for each, designed to allow for horizontal expansion capabilities. Furthermore, the 2-story expansion will include new surface parking to allow for the increase in pedestrian and vehicular volumes. The 2-story expansion also will include the relocation of an existing at-grade helipad. The scope of work may include consideration of additional buildings, roadways, and services whether contiguous to the hospital or freestanding, and the associated programming of those services. PROPOSED SCHEDULE: The timelines to design and build the above-described scope and services will be determined by the results of the planning study and potential revisions to the planning study as the 2-story expansion/campus development progresses. In addition, the proposed schedule will be determined, and may be subject to change, based on the timing of regulatory and other necessary approvals. Project development, including professional services, is contingent upon availability of funds.
