Note: The Salem VAMC/NW Market was completed under a previous contract. The Master Plan shall cover a five through ten-year planning time horizon. The Facility Master Plan development is expected to be collaborative in nature, with the Contractor developing an understanding of the Veterans Affairs (VA) wide organizational culture and priorities along with the VISN (Veterans Integrated Services Network) and local facility goals and priorities. Contractor shall perform an overall analysis of the facility’s mission and delivery of patient care, ancillary, diagnostic, research, and support services. The Contractor shall identify key service lines, including interaction and adjacency of relevant programs, both internal and external to the facility. The Contractor shall analyze the allotment and configuration of existing space and acreage and recommend changes to meet the facility’s strategic planning goals, including facilitation of both patient care and support operations. The Contractor shall identify specific capital initiatives such as construction projects and or leases required to implement these changes (to include the development of a realistic timeline and order of magnitude cost estimates). This analysis shall be performed with the involvement of key VISN and facility staff. The Contractor shall analyze and integrate input and direction provided by facility and network level Strategic/Capital Asset Plans, medical center staff input, data on veteran population, workload demand and projection forecasts located in the VA’s Pyramid website, Veterans Support Service Center (VSSC) Space Calculations, Facility Condition Assessment (FCA), and site-specific community and stakeholder issues.
