B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

Dallas Emergency Department and Observation Unit Signage

1. PROJECT SUMMARY

The Dallas VA Medical Center Campus Signage is a turnkey signage project. This statement of work includes all work.

The project will consist of 3 phases of the design build process:

Phase 1 will include programming for new interior signage in the parking lots. Once the specifications and drawings are approved, Phase 2 will commence.

Phase 2 will include fabrication and delivery of interior signage as detailed in the approved specifications and drawings. Upon delivery of the new signage, phase 3 will commence.

Phase 3 will include installation of new signage followed by a comprehensive punch list walkthrough process for quality control and 100% completion. The new signage will align with the VA North Texas Healthcare System signage standards. This project is in line with the VAMC’s continuing efforts to move patients more efficiently throughout the hospital, reducing stress on both patients and staff, and increasing hospital efficiencies. All signage must be brand name or equal and all functions, finishes and sizes match exactly the VA North Texas Healthcare System (VANTHS) standards.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The project scope of work specifically includes new signage to support the Emergency Department and Observation Unit newly renovated space and install at the Dallas VA Medical Center Campus. The scope of work includes using the established interior and exterior signage standards for the VANTHS to develop a complete interior design and wayfinding program for this space.

Place of Performance Dallas VA Medical Center 4500 S. Lancaster Rd.

Dallas, TX 75216

Period of Performance April 30, 2026 – September 30, 2026

Phase 1 – Interior Signage Planning and Programming Sign programming will include on-site visits as needed to collect information necessary for development of the Sign Program Documents. The Sign Program Documents shall reflect the established VANTHS signage standards (see attachments A1 and A2) and include Signage Program standards, Sign Specification drawings for each sign type, Sign Message Schedule detailing information on each unique sign, and Sign Location Plans indicating the specific installation location for every sign. There will be electronic and hard copy reviews at 70%, 90%, and 100% completion. The 100% documents will be considered Construction Documents and include: detailed signage drawings, material specifications, message schedules, and mounting instructions for each sign type (including identification, wayfinding, life-safety, regulatory and informational signs), linked to associated floorplans and site plans showing the location of each sign. The final package will have all documents needed for manufacture and installation of this part of the exterior signage program. The solution will provide orientation to all patients and visitors from the time they arrive on campus, to the time they eventually return to their point of arrival. The final plan will clearly define the space the visitor has entered and effectively communicate how the visitor will self-navigate to their planned destination. The contractor will provide a complete signage plan based on an overall understanding of the VA Hospital and life safety codes. The Phase 1 deliverable will include 100% review level Sign Program Documents, sign type specifications, sign message schedules and sign location plans detailing fully the sign program. Interior sign type categories will include identification, wayfinding, life-safety / regulatory and informational. Exterior sign type categories will include campus identification, building identification, vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding, and Department of Veterans Affairs branding. The completed integrated solution will include all areas. The project will also include a review of, and programming for, new life-safety / regulatory signage for compliance with accessibility laws, building codes, life-safety codes, health codes, local sign ordinances and authorities having jurisdiction including IBC, IFC, ADA/ABA.
