Project 593-26-103 Renovate Education Building Training Hub VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System 6900 North Pecos Road, N. Las Vegas, NV 89086 Building 7

PROJECT SUMMARY

The VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VASNHS) Education Services

Department requires the renovation of the main training hub and surrounding spaces to properly facilitate educational training and other events within the space. The current space is equipped with aging infrastructure and AV equipment that often fails and interrupts the services being provided. The training hub is also not sufficiently equipped with adequate internal storage space, resulting in unavoidably crowded and unsightly space. Furthermore, aging finishes of the space – such as flooring, wall surfaces and paint require replacement, refurbishment or upgrade to establish proper professional appearance for all stakeholders of the educational training hub.

SCOPE

VASNHS solicits the services of a licensed contractor for construction management services for the renovation of the education training hub. The renovation project encompasses significant upgrades to improve functionality, aesthetics, and technology integration. The scope includes: constructing two new 10’ high pony walls, 6’ from northern wall with a 3’ 6’’ min. opening from western wall; installing all necessary hardware, electrical and data connections to mount and connect a television on the southern face of these pony walls; removal of the existing manual vertical dividing wall and installation of a new automatic dividing wall in its place; complete removal and disposal of the horizontal dividing wall and all attached and associated hardware and components; combining of rooms 1H125A with 1H122A and 1H124A with 1H123A creating two larger spaces; removal of existing acoustic ceiling in each storage room and installation of new acoustic ceiling in larger storage rooms; Removal of existing twin double door assemblies at each storage room and installation of single double door assemblies in their place; replacement of existing carpet tiles in the training quad rooms with new carpet tiles; the quad’s surrounding corridor’s carpet tiling shall be removed and replaced with terrazzo-style tile flooring; Removal of two (2) existing 36’’ northern entrance doors and replacement with two (2) new 42’’ doors; removal of all ceiling-mounted projectors and their associated wiring, as well as the ceiling mounted projector screens installed within the quad; removal of existing 3 smartboards and their associated wiring within the quad; preparation of the southern walls within 1H124 and 1H125 for mounting of two new monitors; removal of existing podiums located in 1H122, 1H123, 1H124, and 1H125 along with their utilities; Installation of new underfloor utility runs for the two new podiums in 1H124 and 1H125 requiring trenching into concrete and GPR scanning; and repainting of entire wall space within education quad.

Additionally, contractor shall install all required utilities and connections for new audiovisual equipment within the education quad rooms that is being procured as a part of a separate VA effort. Contractor will be expected to work in conjunction with chosen equipment manufacturer or their assignee for the installation of equipment. This assignee may have workers within the boundary of construction to facilitate the installation of the new AV equipment within the education training quad.
