ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

Due to the immense growth and changes the Kansas City VA Medical has undergone in the last ten years to adapt for the employees and veterans, the main facility and surrounding buildings are in need of an overhaul for a new signage program that will be adaptable for our use, in addition to a signage audit and programming database that will allow the facility to keep better track of the signage and room nomenclatures around the facility. The project will consist of updates to and/or the creation of the following items:

· Planning: Creation of a thorough and comprehensive schedule, scheme, and preliminary research to allot for successful deliverables and innovative solutions based on the needs of the hospital.

· Audit: Creation of a signage database that will feature correct and verified information of the interior room identifications and exterior signage program of the Main Facility. Identify any signs that could be kept if applicable.

· Programming: From the creation of the audit, the contractor will identify and condense the sign types around the facility and create an interchangeable solution that allows the department the ability to update only certain components of the sign.

· Design Development Solutions: The vendor will have to develop innovative solutions for the various sign types around the hospital. The vendor will also need to develop directional way-finding programming, supergraphics for lobbies and elevator banks, improve site circulation in the exterior environment for parking/driving cues and building identification, and identify threats and weaknesses that affect the fluidity of the Kansas City VA Medical Center and streamline solutions. All solutions should be thoroughly discussed with the Interior Design department as the key decision makers throughout the process.
