INTRODUCTION: The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) is conducting a market survey and is seeking potential sources. This project involves professional Architect/Engineer (A/E) services necessary to construct and renovate a Sterile Processing and Supply (SPS) Service and COVID19/Clean Storage facility at the VA Northern California Health Care System in Mather, CA. This is a DESIGN project. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Place of Performance: VA Northern California Health Care System, 10535 Hospital Way, Mather, California 95655-4200. This project includes 21,321 Square Feet (SF) of new construction (14,900 SF new warehouse storage; 5,921 SF mezzanine; 500 SF connecting bridge); and 7,075 SF of renovation (6,075 SF Sterile Processing & 1,000 SF Clean Storage). The existing warehouse Building 652 at the medical center will become home for sterile processing, expanded biomedical support and clean storage functions. These functions are significantly undersized given the increased demand for equipment, sterile processing and storage. Project will construct a 5,921 SF mezzanine within Building 652 with a 500 SF connecting bridge to surgery in Building 700 totaling 6,421 SF. Project also converts 7,075 SF of warehouse space to SPS and Clean Storage. To make room for new construction, project will demolish, replace, and right size an existing non-ADA compliant 1,589 SF mezzanine inside of Building 652 for Biomedical Maintenance and Emergency Cache for pandemic response. The bridge between Buildings 652 and 700 will provide direct access for SPS to the Operating Rooms. Project will correct over $175,000 in facility condition and physical security (PSDM) deficiencies. This new warehouse space will also allow for the disposal of the Sacramento Warehouse lease, a 9,900 SF lease that is about to activate. Project also includes two parking spaces with electric chargers for GSA plug-in hybrid vehicles. The A/E shall prepare an analysis for the building and building connection to B700 for SPS. The A/E shall provide Concept and Schematic Design drawings, feasibility recommendations, and cost estimates of three (3) options for the configuration of the new and remodel space.
