Indian School Road Phoenix, AZ 85012 OBJECTIVES: The objective and deliverables of this project are segmented into 2 stages. The results of the earlier deliverable relating to the long term care may end up substantially influencing the remainder of the planning, therefore this section is required to be completed prior to moving beyond the long term care requirements. Objective A: Long Term Care - Community Living Center (120 beds): The primary objectives for this portion of the project is to help determine which will be the most effective manner in which to proceed to meet the needs for long term care aka Community Living Center, in accordance with the Small House Design Guide (PG-18-12 Small House Model Design Guide 2018-07). This portion of the effort will take the VA through the completed Type A services for up to different 3 Community Living Center concepts. The AE shall provide a minimum 5 alternatives through this portion of the Design Development Study. Based on the outcome of this exploratory effort, up to 3 alternatives will be taken through the full Design Development process, including validation of availability of all required utilities. The currently identified need is 120 beds for this service. Provide an initial and life-cycle cost comparison to evaluate at a minimum the following 3 options to meet the 120 bed requirement: 1) Complete gut of the existing structure and rebuild / enhance the current structure 2) Complete demolition and rebuild, generally within the current footprint 3) Greenfield construction at an alternative location within our campus. As none of these options may be within the VA s assumed budget of $20M, the contractor must also evaluate the following 2 options: 1) Provide as many beds as possible that meet the current design requirements within the existing structure + whatever additional structure can be added within this $20M cap 2) Provide as many beds as possible that compromise the current design requirements within the existing structure + whatever additional structure can be added within this $20M cap. A quantity of beds / quality of facility table of tradeoffs must be included as part of the narrative, providing guidance to the facility as to what tradeoffs are required for what increased bedcount. The overall budget for this CLC portion of the study is capped at $20M with construction intended to begin in 2020. The optimal design will meet a base-level well within the intended construction budget and provide additional alternatives that will greatly enhance and add value to the project as construction costs permit. Objective B: Inpatient / Mental Health beds (120 beds): The VA s current inpatient beds are segmented as follows: Substance Abuse Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program - SARRTP (24 beds) These beds currently reside in the Bright Building, Building 31 and will not be analysed for relocation, but will be included in the 310 bed total. Intensive Care Unit - ICU (20 Beds) The ICU is currently located on ward 3C and was designed for 20 beds. One bed is currently being removed for accessibility to the lobby of the new patient elevator, leaving 19 active beds. These beds will not be analysed for relocation, but will be included in the 310 bed total. Med/Surge (98 Beds) The current plan is to create standardized layouts for each of the C and D towers, with each C tower ward providing 18 single beds, and each D tower ward providing 22 Single beds. Wards 2C, 4C, 4D, 5C, 5D in the main bed tower would all become Med/Surge beds. The VA s current Mental Health beds are segmented as follows: Mental Health (48 beds) Mental health is currently provided on wards 5C (xx beds), 5D (xx beds). The current plan for Mental Health is to construct a 2 story, 48 bed (with planned future expansion to 6 stories xx bed stand-alone Mentalk Health facility. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The delivery date for this contract shall be 180 days from Notice to Proceed. Performance time to include VA review of each submission as identified. LOCATION Carl T.
