I. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK

The consultant shall provide all necessary Architectural and Engineering (A/E) services as required to prepare complete contract drawings, specifications, observation/evaluation/technical reports, cost estimates, and services throughout construction to "Renovate CLC – Hospice Unit” at the historic York Campus of the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS), located at 3400 Lebanon Pike, Murfreesboro, TN 37129. This project will renovate approximately 14,500 square feet to convert an outdated CLC ward to a new hospice unit, uniquely designed for patients who are terminally ill. This project will also construct approximately 1300 new square feet to include a new dayroom with porch, a secure entry vestibule, and a visitor restroom. Additionally, an accessible, covered patient drop off area with a circular driveway and 5 accessible parking spots will be constructed. Work includes, but is not limited to, professional design services of Architects, Mechanical, Plumbing, Industrial Hygiene (IH), Structural/Seismic, Electrical power and systems (such as communications, controls, security, fire protection/alarm).

II. STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) intends to have the A/E fully survey, investigate, and document the existing spaces and utility systems, affected by renovations, to gain the knowledge and insight necessary to prepare accurate documents in a professional and competent manner. The project objectives are as follows:

A. Renovate existing ward for hospice care.

B. Increase and promote staff efficiency through more functional layouts.

C. Improve privacy and accessibility.

D. Convert semi-private rooms and shared restrooms to full private facilities to provide privacy and space for families to meet with their loved ones.

E. Build additional square footage for a new dayroom with porch, a secure entry vestibule, and a visitor restroom.

F. Improve exterior building entry and access, including a drop off area with a circular driveway and five accessible parking spots.
