Renovation of a medical facility in Birmingham, Alabama. Completed plans call for the renovation of a one-story above grade medical facility.

This project involves the modification of the existing chilled water piping system serving imaging equipment within the Radiology Department. Work will include alterations to existing chilled water piping, installing additional chilled water piping, equipment, and related infrastructure to integrate into the existing system, and modifying HVAC controls serving this area of the building. The project will include general construction, fire protection, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. Coordination with equipment vendors will be necessary. Particular and specific care will be required to coordinate complex shutdowns, limit disturbances, and follow strict infection control and interim life safety measures (ICRA/ILSM) requirements for the protection of patients, family, and staff. The work will be performed under a single prime general contractor who will coordinate all aspects of the project. Instructions to bidders include requirements for submission of sealed proposals in triplicate, proper identification of all bid packages, and the inclusion of the required bonds and licensure documentation. Bids must be submitted on forms provided by the architect, and all deadlines and bid submission procedures must be strictly followed. No bid may be withdrawn for a period of ninety (90) days after the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. The owner reserves the right to reject bids if such action is determined to be in the best interest of the owner. Pre-qualification requirements: Prime general contractors seeking to be pre-qualified must have experience with similar size and type hospital projects performed in and adjacent to an operating hospital environment, with the implementation and maintenance of infection control measures, interim life safety measures, coordinating shutdowns, and maintaining a clean and organized job site in an operating hospital. The general contractor must have experience with representative projects as a general contractor, not as a construction manager or program manager. Contractors must be licensed under the provision of Title 34, Chapter 8, and Code of Alabama, 1975, and must include a copy of their current Alabama contractor's license in their pre-qualification submittal. Only those contractors who have completed the pre-qualification process and have been approved will be eligible to submit a bid or perform work for the project. Pre-qualification packages must be received by the project manager by the specified deadline, after which no further requests will be considered. Additional requirements may be provided by the architect upon request on letterhead. Any addendums will be issued to documented prime contractors only. The budget is anticipated to be between $100,000 and $150,000
