HS Campus Ground Infrastructure 2.pdf

This solicitation is seeking a general contractor to complete a near-complete refresh of the data cable infrastructure at the Hot Springs VA Medical Center campus in South Dakota. The scope of work includes demolition of approximately 14,000 to 33,000 phone line pairs across various buildings, while maintaining the existing mass communications backbone; electrical panel and generator upgrades; mechanical upgrades including HVAC, piping, and commissioning; fire system upgrades to the data center and sprinkler heads; renovation of existing space and expansion of buildings 1, 11, and 66; IT infrastructure upgrades such as migrating from 50 closets to 29 telecom rooms, data center upgrades, cable installation, and campus fiber backbone dual pathing; physical security upgrades; asbestos abatement; and establishment of a new campus ground vault system between buildings 65 and 66. The technical complexity arises from performing this work while minimizing downtime for hospital operations and security and fire systems, as well as phasing to accommodate medical facility needs. The selected contractor will be responsible for furniture relocation, submitting as-built drawings and status updates, and obtaining background checks for non-escorted access to telecom rooms.
