The STVHCS will be utilizing Attainia software (license provided by the Government for use by the IOT&A Contractor) to manage its FF&E for this activation project. The Contractor shall validate in the Attainia database all FF&E up to 100% to generic made/model. “Validating” in the sense means a generic item has been identified by a specific manufacturer and model has not yet been identified. The Contractor shall then develop the Attainia list to the “Approved” phase. “Approve” in this sense means the manufacturer and model has been selected, to include the salient characteristics of the item. The Contractor will be responsible for finalizing furniture, fixtures, and artwork with end users with the purpose of moving the items from “validated” to “approved” in the Attainia database. The Contractor shall upload and update the Attainia database. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Attainia Contractor for database training for project maintenance.

The IOT&A Contractor will be responsible for identifying salient characteristics for all FF&E with the end users and for recording in the Attainia database. This also ties in to the acquisition support services required under this PWS as the end-user identified salient characteristics will be included in “brand name or equal” procurement packages. A completed Justification and Approval (J&A) form will be required to be included in any procurement packages for any items that require a specific manufacturer or model.

The Contractor shall develop the initial design based upon the FF&E list (see Attachment C to the contract). The Contractor will lay into the drawings provided by the VA all the FF&E based upon the equipment list and program for design information. The drawings provided by VA may be limited to walls and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) locations. The general contractor will be required to identify all MEP information necessary and timelines needed. The IOT&A contractor is to develop the make and model of all equipment with the DD2 submittal. The VA will be responsible to provide the correct POC’s for the user group meetings who has the authority to make equipment decisions, such as identification of make and model of equipment, locations for all equipment, and any J&As planned for the procurement of specified equipment. Upon completion of the Contractor's initial design (to include all furniture, equipment, medical equipment, artwork, desktop technology equipment, copiers, printers, fax machines, etc.) the Contractor shall review for code and work flow efficiency.

In addition, the Contractor shall call out in each room all utility conflicts and recommended resolutions. Items shall be color-coded on the drawings (i.e. reuse = red, construction Contractor provided = black, IOT&A installed = blue) for easy identification.

After the initial layouts have been completed, the Contractor shall send the drawings and room equipment lists to the COR for Government review and comment. The Government will have 14 days to review and comment and will return the drawings to the Contractor to update.

The Contractor should assume that the timelines below exist for submittal reviews:

7.2.4. Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Transition Services

Transition Planning includes developing CONOPs, transition plans, Day-in-the-Life, room contents planning, Information Management planning, Medical and Administrative Facility logistics planning, staffing planning, training planning, and other planning as necessary to develop a plan for the successful activation of the project.

Transition planning shall be documented in the Transition Plan. The purpose of the Transition Plan is to provide the roadmap for day one operations in accordance with the activation schedule.

CONOPs is a document describing the characteristics of a proposed system/process from the viewpoint of an individual who will be using that system/process. It is used to communicate the quantitative and qualitative system/process characteristics to all stakeholders. CONOPs should begin at project conception, evolve with space planning/Program for Design development and be continuously refined through planning, design, outfitting and transition. The Contractor shall develop and document Macro, Micro, IT/IM, and Transition CONOPs for the departments involved in the activation project to the extent necessary to facilitate the transition. The Contractor shall meet with key stakeholders involved in processes relative to the applicable

CONOPs. The Contractor will help the department/group assess current operations, define new operations, record and assist with gaining medical facility approval of business practices on new conditions in space, equipment, staffing, and operations. The Contractor shall assume each department will require two in-depth meetings with follow-up coordination.

At a minimum, the following Macro CONOPs shall be developed: departmental adjacencies; staff, patient, and visitor flow; patient transport; on-stage vs. off-stage (e.g. lobby, elevators corridors); logistical support (e.g.

linen, supplies waste, deliveries); ancillary support; infection control; and security.

Micro CONOPs should define how specific operational units conduct business. Micro CONOPs should continue to be refined throughout construction. Micro CONOPs shall be developed for the departments being impacted by the activation project.

Information Management CONOPs should determine IT governance, determine roles and responsibilities, and review supporting infrastructure and functionality of each system; define system CONOPS, system functional and technical requirements, and identify any necessary changes to infrastructure indicated in construction drawings.

IT/IM CONOPS should define requirements and determine infrastructure required to support low voltage systems (medical and non-medical).

Medical Equipment/Medical network CONOPs should determine Medical Equipment/Medical network governance, determine roles and responsibilities, and review infrastructure and functionality of each system;

define system CONOPS, system functional and technical requirements, and identify any necessary changes to infrastructure indicated in construction drawings.

Management CONOPS: The Contractor, in conjunction with Government stakeholders, will identify top management processes affecting IOT&A activities. The Contractor will guide key stakeholders in determining and documenting best business practices. The group will map the process through flow charts or other approved communication methods. The Contractor will use the process maps to develop management CONOPs in the following categories: 1) Room Contents Planning, 2) Information Management, 3) Medical and Administrative Facility Logistics, and 4) Transition Planning.

Workflow CONOPs should look for opportunities to optimize flexibility in the space, patient flow, material flow, and staffing to maximize efficiencies in the design.

Transition CONOPs will build upon STRATCOM and other CONOPs and detail how to transition from current state to the required future state at the new facility. Transition CONOPs shall support the schedule development and acquisition, installation, quality assurance plans, documentation and retention and occupancy timelines. The Contractor shall provide detailed transition CONOPs by functional area. The Contractor shall identify key requirements and constraints that will empower or impede decision making processes, approvals, or the ability to manage well the activation activities. The Contractor shall make recommendations for improvement where constraints, impediments, or other problems are identified. This information shall be documented in the Transition Plan.

General CONOPS will develop welcome/orientation kits for new employees, (i.e. facility maps, policies, service access, contact information, etc.)
