A/E STATEMENT OF WORK Project 608-21-210 Radiology Ultrasound Suite 1.0 INTRODUCTION: This project will design a new Ultrasound Suite within the Radiology department. The location for this new suite is the existing MRI suite in the Basement Level of Building 1 that is scheduled to be re-located to a new space. The area for this project is approximately 1,200 sf of existing space that will be gutted and renovated. 2.0 SCOPE: The scope of this project consists of Architectural and Engineer (A/E) services required to complete the project, as outlined in Supplements A, B , and C below. The period of performance for the design is 184 calendar days and shall begin upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) by the Contracting Officer. 3.0 REFERENCES: The following link has guides and specifications that may be referenced in parts of the attached documents that have not been included as part of the solicitation: http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/ The A/E shall thoroughly review the information at the link above and follow all guidance applicable to this project. Supplement A, Page 1 SUPPLEMENT A A/E SCOPE OF WORK DESIGN TASK The objective of this project is to provide a complete design for Project 608-21-210 Radiology Ultrasound Suite Background Information: The existing MRI suite is nearing the end of its useful life and is scheduled to be re- located to new space within the basement footprint of the new Urgent Care addition. Access to the new MRI suite will be through the existing Ultrasound Room E31. With the elimination of the Ultrasound Room E31, there is a need to replace the lost ultrasound space and an opportunity to create a well planned efficient ultrasound suite in place of the existing MRI suite. This project includes approximately 1,200 sf to be gutted and renovated for the new ultrasound suite. The existing 1,200 sf to be renovated are on the Basement Level of Building 1 at the east end of the Radiology department. The space is currently occupied by the MRI which is currently scheduled to move into new space in September 2022. The Program for Design will consist of two Ultrasound rooms (connected to a shared toilet room), one office, work space for three staff, some sub-waiting, and some storage. The Program for Design should serve as the starting point for programming discussions, but should be adjusted as needed to meet the needs of the project. CONSTRUCTION BUDGET The construction budget is $1,000,000. The intent of the design shall be a project that can be built without changes or change orders, within budget, and function as intended.
