Statement of Work

Northern Indiana Health Care System Interactive Mapping and Kiosk Wayfinding

1. Description of Services: Contractor shall provide a digital interactive mapping and way finding system associated with Northern Indiana Health Care System Fort Wayne (2121 Lake

Ave. Fort Wayne, IN 46805), Marion (1700 E. 38th Street, Marion, IN 46952) Campuses and the Jackie Walorski VA Clinic (1540 Trinity Place Mishawaka, IN 46545). The interactive map shall include a campus map, floor plans, directions to all key services and departments on campus, and will be delivered via CD-ROM, as well as hosted on the vendors internal website, which will be linked to the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System (VANIHCS) internet homepage. The goal of this project is to enhance the wayfinding ability of visitors and employees. An objective of the project is to provide employees and visitors with easy-to-read guide with accurate map rendering of the campus and access to wayfinding options on their personal computer, tablet, and/or mobile devices. Also prior to visiting the campus, patients would be able to obtain information from the VANIHCS internet website about driving, parking, and locations/destinations around campus. The visitors and employees must see the same floor design that they see on the interactive map on the web as they will see in hard copy format when they arrive to our campus. This provides consistency in the entire wayfinding experience ensuring a more positive patient experience.

a. Background: The Fort Wayne, Marion and Jackie Walorski VA Clinic campuses have many construction and improvement projects underway or planned which will result in temporary or permanent relocation of services at each facility. A concise and readily available guide allowing Veterans and visitors to navigate the campus, find new services and facilities, and learn more about VA, as well as the local area, is not currently in circulation. As use of the internet becomes more prolific among Veterans, online and interactive versions of the guide would allow these Veterans and visitors to prepare and learn about the campus before a visit, giving them peace of mind and creating better access. Due to the system not being used by the VA network this would have a low security impact. The C&A requirements do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.

2. Facility Information: VA Northern Indiana Health Care System is comprised of two campuses located in Fort Wayne and Marion, Indiana and a large VA outpatient clinic located in Mishawaka, Indiana. The Fort Wayne campus is a more compressed campus with one large tower building housing most of its patient care with smaller administrative buildings spread out the 20-acre campus. The Marion campus is a sprawling historic 100-acre campus comprised of numerous buildings; however, the primary patient care buildings are all co-located adjacent to each other creating a central “core”. The Jackie Walorski VA Clinic is a large outpatient clinic leased facility with one large building housing multiple outpatient clinics within it.

3. Scope of Services: Contractor shall provide the following services to analyze, present, and provide a Visitor Guide in booklet form, subsequent printing services for the booklet, and a digital interactive map and way finding system for each campus:
