Scope of Work Project 636-807

“Construct Ambulance Garage”

This project consists of constructing a new ambulance garage addition adjacent to the existing emergency department. This project will add approximately 1500 sf to the west side of Building

1. This project will also complete the landscaping and paving on the west side of the Iowa City Medical Center.

The goal of this project is to replace the ambulance garage that was demolished in 2015 to make way for the addition of the new Emergency Department project. At that time, the ambulance bay was removed from the Emergency Department project to get the construction costs under the minor threshold, leaving the new emergency department without an ambulance bay since.

This project will also provide a permanent emergency decontamination station off the ambulance bay. Additionally, a dedicated ambulance entrance will be provided on Newton Road to alleviate congestion at the main patient entrance to the hospital. At the conclusion of this project, patients arriving to the VA by ambulance will be taken to a dedicated entrance directly adjacent to the Emergency Department, as opposed to being transported through the facility as the situation is currently. As part of the site work, a new set of traffic control gates with observational cameras will be installed at the entrance from Newton Road, with remote control for opening in the police station and ED control center.

The Period of Performance will be 270 calendar days (9 months) from the issuance of the Notice to proceed. A partial NTP will likely be needed to allow for the initial submittal review process and to push the start of construction into the spring, since this project is largely exterior work.
