San Francisco Veterans Affairs, Building 8 Seismic Retrofit, SFVAMC Sources Sought This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - San Francisco District is seeking input on a perspective project titled “ San Francisco Veterans Affairs, Building 8 Seismic Retrofit “ for seismic retrofit and renovation of an existing facility, Building 8 located at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, 4150 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121. Buildings 8 is located in the eastern portion of the SFVAMC Campus and is immediately accessible from the eastern entrance. The SFVAMC campus is located on the very edge of the northwestern corner of the San Francisco peninsula surrounded by three sides, east, north and west by Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Building 8 currently houses outpatient Mental Health Services and is will continue to serve as an outpatient Mental Health Clinic and is an existing historic structure. The building is located with a Parking Garage 212 to the south, Parking Lot B to the West, Building 9 to the North and under construction Building 24 to the East as well as a planned Building 23 to the East. There is limited area for construction due to the confined space. Originally constructed in 1934, Building 8 contains 4 occupiable floors in a straight linear configuration. It was originally constructed as a nurses’ dormitory and as a result has lower floor-to-floor heights of 11’-0” and has no centralized air system. Original hot water radiators are used to heat the building. It is not connected to any other building. Over the years Building 8 has undergone some incremental renovations but, its original internal organization of a double loaded corridor is essentially intact with offices and clinical offices for the Mental Health group. The building has documented asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint present and it is necessary to remediate these materials through an approach to fully demolish all existing interior finishes, partitions and MEP systems. This approach has the benefit of allowing for the most direct structural intervention in order to seismically upgrade the building. The base scheme for this is to introduce new shearwalls and install a series of micropiles. All new mechanical, electrical, telephone, data, life safety, vertical transportation systems and public toilet facilities will be introduced into the building. New services risers will be concentrated in a new service ‘core’ along the east side of the building. An existing exterior fire escape will be removed and 2 new external enclosed exit stairs will be added to the east side of the building where they are not visible from principal public areas of the campus. All new partitions, hardware and finishes will be introduced to accommodate the final program. At the roof level, new mechanical equipment will be enclosed in a penthouse enclosure. However, the visual presence of this enclosure requires the final approval of the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). No Major Medical Equipment (e.g., linear accelerator, imaging, laundry or food service), to be included in the renovated building. The design documents for this retrofit are being completed in FY22. Work will follow U.S. Army Corps of Engineers processes and requirements. Renovated facilities will meet LEED Silver accreditation upon completion of construction.
