PROJECT IDENTIFICATION

Project Title: 652-20-129 Renovate Bldg. 509 for 3D Printing Lab Project Location: Building 509

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

H.H. McGuire VAMC is soliciting the expertise of a Construction and/or A/E firm to execute a design/build (DB) action for the renovation of Building 509 to house a 3D printing manufacturing center. The renovation of Building 509 will allow the facility to house and operate new Government furnished 3D printing and finishing equipment to be used in the production of medical personnel protective equipment (PPE) and other medical supplies currently in short supply due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

The design and subsequent renovating will be based upon the functional layout plan provided in Attachment 1. The upgrades to the facility shall include the areas outlined in the functional layout plans and include but are not limited to the following building systems: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and controls, electrical distribution system, architectural, structural, communication/data and fire protection systems. The designer shall also consider process flow when laying out the new space.

GENERAL DESIGN REQUIRMENTS

1. The Design Build team shall develop a formal schematic design, design development, construction documents and submissions, to include construction cost estimates in accordance with the VA’s master construction guidelines, outlined in the Technical Information Library (TIL), located here: https://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/spec.asp.

2. Prior to beginning the construction phase of the project, the design documents shall be at 95% complete and the project shall have the following VA approved documents.

a. Construction Schedule

b. Construction Quality and Safety Plans

c. Construction Phasing Plan

d. Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM’s)

e. Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA)

f. Pre-Construction Risk Assessment (PCRA)

3. The DB team shall conduct a survey of the VA facility and all areas where work will be conducted.

4. The DB team shall provide a complete and usable design for the renovation of Building 509 to prepare it to receive Government furnished equipment as laid out in the attached concept plan.

5. The DB team shall completely survey all existing conditions at building 509 to include architectural, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and structural systems.

6. The DB team shall meet with site staff to review the details of the concept/equipment drawings and to gather feedback after each design submission. The Contractor shall include Engineering Service, Safety and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) service in all design meetings. The Contractor shall plan on a kickoff meeting with Engineering Service and PM&R to walk the site, pull as-built drawings, review design requirements and verify understanding of the full scope of the project.

7. New building automation controls shall be included in this project.

8. Design documents shall clearly show all demo, existing, relocated and new raceways, wireways and cabling to/from equipment, lights, smoke detectors, outlets, HVAC grills, etc.

9. Design documents shall clearly show all ICRA barriers. The DB team shall work with VA Infection Control staff to develop infection control measures and perform the ICRA.

10. Provide a phasing plan if feasible coordinated with the infrastructure modifications to keep each phase functional during construction. Discussions during the design will assist in the development of acceptable phasing areas of concern that may require off-hours work.

11. Energy savings is a goal for the VA. The design should incorporate energy saving features such as LED lighting, occupancy sensors and other efficient means of minimizing energy use.
