About this file
This document is an architectural scope of work for a Department of Veterans Affairs construction project at Wichita VA Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas (VA Project No. 589A7-23-305).
The project involves renovating the existing kitchen in Building 2, with major work including coordination of reuse and relocation of existing kitchen equipment, procurement of new kitchen equipment, and comprehensive renovation work encompassing demolition, new walls and ceilings, lighting replacement, HVAC, plumbing, electrical upgrades, utility relocations, and new finishes. The scope requires identifying and budgeting for potential asbestos remediation. Design deliverables must include multiple deductive bid alternates totaling at least 10% of total construction cost (excluding contingency), with itemized cost estimates and associated reduction in project completion time for each alternate. The base design must remain fully functional whether or not alternates are selected. All design work must comply with VA Master Specifications, Design Guides, applicable federal laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines including Federal Accessibility Standards (ABA) and VA barrier-free design standards. The design must include full facility engineering across architectural, structural, civil, sanitation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, lighting, and fire protection disciplines. Water supply piping must comply with VA design requirements including the Legionella Prevention program. The project must be phased to maintain continuous medical center operations during construction, with construction barriers designed to preserve hospital access and adjacent area accessibility. The renovated space must be complete and usable upon project completion, and the architect must develop a comprehensive Scope of Work for the construction phase.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
A. As defined by the Scope of Work:
• Design multiple deductive bid alternates into the construction documents equal to at least 10% of the total construction cost (Design Limitation) not including contingency. The base design must be fully functional with or without the alternates. Provide an itemized cost estimate associated with each deduct alternate. Bid deduct alternates will reflect the appropriate reduction in project completion time (days).
• Design in accordance with the most recent VA Master Specifications and
Design Guides, applicable laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines.
• Thorough investigation of existing site conditions and location of existing utilities.
• Full facility design to include but not limited to architectural, structural, civil, sanitation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, lighting, and fire protection.
• Architectural design to blend with and complement existing campus facilities.
• Design water supply piping to comply with most recent VA design requirements, including the Legionella Prevention program.
• Provide waste and ventilation piping.
• Provide structures and finishes, considering sanitation and durability, suitable for the space.
• Provide mechanical services to provide appropriate environmental controls and ventilation to space. All HVAC controls shall be integrated into the existing Building Management System.
• Project shall be phased to allow continuous operation of the medical center during construction. Provide phasing plan for work during construction.
• Adjacent areas must remain accessible during construction.
• Design construction barriers, including site boundaries, to maintain hospital access and services during construction.
• Renovated space must be complete and usable at project completion.
• Develop Scope of Work for the construction portion of the project.
