ARCHITECT-ENGINEER DESIGN SCOPE OF WORK

EHRM TRAINING AND ADMIN SUPPORT SPACE – RENOVATION

PROJECT NO: 590-22-703

PROJECT NAME: EHRM – Training and Admin Support Space

1. GENERAL INTENT:

The Contractor (herein referred to as “A/E”) shall provide Architect/Engineer (A/E) services to design a construction project at the VA Mid-Atlantic Health Care System - VAMC Hampton, Virginia in accordance with this design scope of work.

2. STATEMENT OF WORK:

A/E Part One Services (also known as Design Phase) for this design project includes site visits, field investigation, studies and user interviews to prepare drawings, specifications and cost estimates for all facets of work and disciplines/trades to facilitate a construction project to renovate the 5th and 6th floors in Building 110 to provide Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) training and administrative support spaces.

Prepare construction bid documents (Plans and Specifications) to provide training and administrative space to support the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) program.

This design will define the renovation of existing campus Building 110 (5th and 6th floors) to provide spaces defined later in this SOW.

A/E Part Two Services of this design project (also known as Construction Period Services) includes responding to construction contractor Requests For Information (RFIs) during the solicitation (solicitation support) and construction phases of the construction project, attendance at pre-bid, post-award and commissioning kick off construction project conferences, review of construction material submittals and shop drawings, approximately two site visits per month during construction (both scheduled and emergent) to ensure compliance with the design drawings and specifications, preparation of site visit reports, coordination with project commissioning requirements, review of any construction project modifications for cost and technical acceptability, attendance in the final acceptance inspection, preparation of the punch list and preparation of record drawings of the completed construction project based on the construction contractor’s as-built drawings. The A/E shall prepare a submittal log to be utilized by the VA during construction period services, maintain RFI log and provide meeting minutes for weekly construction meetings throughout the duration of construction. All Part Two Services are optional line items and will not be exercised at the time of award.

100 Emancipation Drive 2/22/2022 Hampton, VA 23667

The above paragraphs constitute a basic outline of the work to be accomplished and in no way comprises all the details for design of this project. The A/E shall initiate detailed inspection of the project site to determine the needs and conditions for the design of this project. Copies of VAMC Hampton record drawings and the EHRM infrastructure readiness assessment documents will be made available to the highest rated A/E firm; the A/E will verify the validity of the record drawings prior to the start of design work and conduct site investigations as necessary throughout the design. SOW Attachment 08 – VAMC Hampton Campus Map will give AE firm a basic understanding of the Medical Center’s campus.

The specific space to be renovated is defined in the below table:

16. OI&T INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARD FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SPACE:

The latest version of Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces is located on VA’s Technical Information Library (TIL) (https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dguide/OIT-InfrastrucStdTelecomSpaces.pdf). The design for this project at the VA Medical Center Hampton must meet the Campus Support Center (CSC) requirements of the Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces.

The Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces (The Standards) serves as the master reference document of criteria for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility Information Technology (IT) support infrastructure. It defines the technical requirements necessary to maintain optimum reliability and efficiency within VA facilities and computing centers. IT Support Infrastructure is defined as all passive telecommunications and information technology equipment and supporting physical space and equipment.

This Standard is maintained by the Enterprise Data Center Infrastructure Collaboration Team (EDICT).

Questions or concerns should be directed to Enterprise Data Center and Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE) at VAITESEDatacenterEngineering2@va.gov

Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 6102 and 6500; VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517; and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation.
