598-20-106 Little Rock PMRS - 100 CD Full Set.pdf

This document is a solicitation (Solicitation Number: 36C25624R0087) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the improvement of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service (PMRS) at the Eugene J. Towbin Memorial Veterans Hospital in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

The project involves the renovation of approximately 16,000 square feet of existing hospital space occupied by the PMRS. The work is separated into two phases, with the first phase required to be completed before the second phase can begin. The renovation will incorporate Planetree principles, comply with VA Space and Equipment Planning System (VA SEPS) requirements, and meet all applicable VA, national, state, and local codes. Key activities include demolition, removal of existing structures, and installation of new equipment and systems. The contractor will need to employ Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to verify the location of underground utilities prior to saw cutting and removal of the existing concrete floor slab. Construction must be completed in a phased approach to minimize disruption to the occupied and fully functioning hospital.
