Correct SPS Deficiencies Project: 610A4-20-513 VA Northern Indiana Health Care System (VANIHCS) Ft. Wayne, IN Project Background: The new Sterile Processing Service (SPS) area has struggled with maintaining the proper negative and positive pressure in rooms since it was built. This project will correct the HVAC deficiencies inside of SPS. Statement of Work: Contractor will provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supervision necessary to Correct SPS Deficiencies, Building 1 at the Fort Wayne campus of the VANIHCS following the A/E s design drawings to include but not limited to the following: Correct negative and positive pressures inside of SPS, add a door and several door closures to the SPS breakroom, add a door and door closure to the scope decontamination room, build an equipment storage room inside of SPS and correct the balance in the warehouse and corridor C3 and conference room B106E, and SPS staff office. The SPS and warehouse areas were constructed post-2015. The VA shall provide the most recent hazardous survey. This report is merely a starting point and should not be considered to have captured every area. The project is divided into 6 areas per the A/E s drawings. The areas do not have to be completed in sequence and can be completed concurrently. As a working hospital, the adjacent spaces and functions will need to be maintained and a high degree of coordination, scheduling, and phasing will be required to allow the continuation of the existing hospital services during the entire construction project. Corridors shall not be blocked during normal business hours. Phase I shall be bid as after-hour or weekend work. Working inside of the SPS department will require SPS to be shut down. Work is expected to take 45 calendar days inside of SPS and another 45 calendar days of work outside of SPS. The total project should not exceed three months of construction. All work is to be completed at the VA Northern Indiana Health Care Fort Wayne Campus, 2121 Lake Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805. Work to be completed within 95 calendar days from notice to proceed. Justification of Work: This project is designed to correct the SPS room pressure deficiencies to allow the VA and SPS to work in a more climate-controlled cleaning environment. This in turn will provide a world-class scope cleaning environment to ensure the cleanest possible items are being used on our Veterans.
