STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Inpatient and Outpatient Pharmacy Casework/Fixtures

1. BACKGROUND: The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center (GVSM VAMC) pharmacy is seeking to purchase pharmacy casework and fixtures to support workflow and operations resulting from new pharmacy management system software and automation.

2. PURPOSE: This purchase is to acquire pharmacy casework and fixtures in both the Outpatient and Inpatient Pharmacies in support of workflow and operations resulting from the recent purchase of pharmacy management system software and automation.

3. GENERAL SCOPE: The Inpatient Pharmacy needs new workstations and storage to accommodate a new workflow driven by the procurement of a new automated carousel. This new automation will change the way Inpatient Pharmacy operates and new casework/fixtures are essential for support and workflow. The Outpatient Pharmacy needs workstations added to the existing configuration to match the existing to include workstations and cleanable sound absorbing modular walls. The installation will include a vendor representative to conduct onsite visit to field measure, refer to drawings (plan view and elevations) of custom modular casework layout. Vendor will provide all specified materials per VA Interior Designer specifications for materials, laminate, solid surface countertops, modular panels and hardware. All materials used and work performed shall conform to the laws and ordinances of the State, municipality, and other governing subdivision within which work under this need is performed. This casework/fixture package will replace the majority of existing casework/fixtures in the Inpatient Pharmacy and the majority of existing casework/fixtures in the Outpatient Pharmacy identified as Phase II. This requirement includes the removal of old pharmacy casework/fixtures and the professional installation of new pharmacy casework/fixtures.

The pharmacy will remain operational during the installation, so the installation must be phased to minimize disruption to pharmacy spaces. Outpatient Pharmacy may require 4 separate phases and installation will occur over a 22-day period with most work being done on weekends or time when workload is low. The Inpatient Pharmacy may require 4 separate phases and installation will occur over a 26-day period with most work being done on weekends and when workload is low. During each phase the vendor will remove existing casework and install new casework and final connections to keep the pharmacy operational. All removal of casework will be provided by the casework vendor. All data and electrical connections and testing of those connections will be performed by the casework vendor. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to satisfy the needs of the ordering activity.

4. REQUIREMENT: Outpatient Pharmacy Phase II: The required casework/fixtures for the Outpatient Pharmacy are detailed in the attached documents. For the floor plan and casework/fixtures, refer to the documents titled “Outpatient Pharmacy Casework Layout and Elevations.” The floor plan includes casework already in place from Phase I.
