Att 4-EHRM Prj Stnd Compl Memo.pdf

This is a Department of Veterans Affairs memorandum dated 10/5/2023 regarding Schematic Design Certification of Project Compliance with VA/OEHRM Infrastructure Standards for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades project at Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center in Amarillo, TX.

The memo identifies several telecommunication rooms that do not fully comply with VA and OEHRM infrastructure standards. Six telecom rooms (B10, B34, B44, B46, and B53) have width deficiencies ranging from 7'6" to 9'7" compared to required minimum widths of 8'-0" or 10'-0". The solutions involve placing 1-2 racks per room to provide required clearances, with specific square footage allocations detailed for each space (ranging from 64-108 SF). The Medical Center Director certifies that aside from these documented deficiencies, all other VA/OEHRM requirements have been incorporated into the design and will comply with VA standards upon construction completion. Questions about the project are directed to Ryan Schwitzer, Chief of Engineering Service.
