The project shall include renovation of inpatient and outpatient pharmacy areas, excluding the new sterile compounding rooms renovated in 2022 (approximately 650 sqft). Total space to be renovated is approximately 10,075 GSF. The new design shall be based on the latest version of PG 18-12 Pharmacy Service design guide. The purpose of this design is to ensure the pharmacy is code compliant and to improve workflow, to include incorporating current outpatient pharmacy waiting room into the pharmacy working area, and moving patient pick up to corridor near front of building 200E. The renovation work includes but is not limited to; demolition of existing area, reconfiguration of pharmacy layout to improve workflow, upgrading interior finishes, upgrading facility lighting and power, demo and replace air handler unit 1 and associated duct work , demo air hander 21 and associated duct work currently serving compounding room, demo existing compounding room and reconfigure as part of pharmacy, upgrade facility HVAC distribution (excluding all HVAC upgrades completed during USP 797 Clean Room project), upgrading building management system interfaces, upgrading communication infrastructure, physical security assessment and upgrades, and hazardous material abatement (asbestos, lead, etc.). A/E to explore possibility of adding bathroom outside of outpatient pharmacy in corridor on ground floor of building 200E. This design should include a phasing plan, the pharmacy must remain operational during renovation. Available as-built drawings will be provided for information only. A/E must field verify all existing conditions. The completed design shall contain all required demolition drawings, specifications, phasing plans, etc. This contract will also include hiring of a 3rd party industrial hygienist to monitor any abatement activities done by contractor during construction.
The selected A/E shall prepare all required National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis and Environmental Assessment reports and documentation for any improvements made as part of this Pharmacy Renovation Project.
A/E Part Two Services of this design project (also known as Construction Period Services) includes responding to construction contractor Requests For Information (RFIs) during the solicitation (solicitation support) and construction phases of the construction project, attendance at pre-bid, post-award and commissioning kick off construction project conferences, review of construction material submittals and shop drawings, approximately 4 site visits per month during construction (both scheduled and emergent) to ensure compliance with the design drawings and specifications, preparation of site visit reports, coordination with project commissioning requirements, review of any construction project modifications for cost and technical acceptability, attendance and participation during the final acceptance inspection, preparation of the punch list and preparation of record drawings of the completed construction project based on the construction contractor’s as-built drawings. A/E will be responsible for on-site inspections during major construction milestones (demo completion, in-wall inspection, punch list, etc). The A/E shall prepare a submittal log to be utilized by the VA during construction period services, maintain RFI log and provide meeting minutes for weekly construction meetings throughout the duration of construction. All Part Two Services are optional line items and will not be exercised at the time of award.

A COR from the VA Maine Healthcare System (Togus VAMC) Facilities Management Service Project Section shall also be designated for the construction project contract to monitor and manage the construction contractor’s performance under the construction project contract. This designation under the construction contract shall be considered equivalent to the industry standard of “Owner’s Representative” and does not supersede or eliminate the A/E’s responsibility for Part Two Services/Construction Period Services. The A/E ultimately shall be responsible for any errors and omissions with the design discovered during and after the construction phase.
16. OI&T INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARD FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SPACE:
The current version for this standard is version 3.1, dated July 1, 2021 (https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dguide/OIT-InfrastrucStdTelecomSpaces.pdf). The design for this project at The VA Maine Healthcare System (Togus VAMC) must meet the Campus Support Center (CSC) requirements of the Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces.
The Infrastructure Standard for Telecommunications Spaces (The Standards) serves as the master reference document of criteria for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility Information Technology (IT) support infrastructure. It defines the technical requirements necessary to maintain optimum reliability and efficiency within VA facilities and computing centers. IT Support Infrastructure is defined as all passive telecommunications and information technology equipment and supporting physical space and equipment.
17. VISITOR SECURITY & REPORTING REQUIREMENTS:
https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dguide/OIT-InfrastrucStdTelecomSpaces.pdf
Visitors to the pharmacy requires a full-time escort. A/E should bring minimum required personnel for field verification. Multiple trips may be necessary.
All contractor personnel will be required to complete a background check by VA Police and receive a badge prior to being permitted to work on campus. This check is mandatory and will be conducted by VA Police based on information provided by the personnel who will be onsite. The selected AE will be provided the background check forms to fill out during the ‘Administrative Time’ portion of the schedule. These forms shall be returned to the COR during this same portion of the schedule.
Upon their first visit to campus, personnel shall check in with the COR at the designated time and location. They will then be escorted to the VA Police to receive their badge. Badges can be issued for up to 1 year if the same personnel will be returning to site during future visits.
Once badges have been obtained, personnel are required to check in with the COR upon arrival and upon departure from campus each day. Badges must be worn in a visible location at all times when contractor personnel are onsite.
