This document outlines requirements for a design-build project to modify facilities at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System to improve centralized services, social distancing, and patient flow in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Key aspects of the project include designing and constructing an expanded centralized intake and service area on the fourth floor to serve three primary care clinics; decentralizing blood draw services to this area; installing social distancing elements in various clinic waiting rooms throughout the facility, including building partitions and reconfiguring seating; and adding barriers to reception desks. The design-build contractor must meet milestones such as submitting 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% design packages for review and approval, with construction to be completed within 340 days of the notice to proceed. Deliverables include specifications, drawings, and BIM models following VA standards.
