S02 - HS Campus Ground Infrastructure.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 multiple buildings, while maintaining the existing mass communication system. Additional requirements are electrical panel and generator upgrades, mechanical upgrades and replacements including HVAC and condensate piping, fire system upgrades including sprinkler head migration, and renovation of existing space. IT infrastructure upgrades consist of migrating from 50 telecommunication rooms to 29 rooms and closets, data center upgrades, new cable trays and outlets, and campus fiber backbone dual pathing. The project also involves physical security, hazardous material abatement including asbestos, and a new underground vault system between two buildings. Technical complexities arise from phasing to minimize downtime for hospital operations while demolishing old infrastructure and upgrading systems across the campus. The selected contractor must coordinate with the VA to complete all work.
