636A6-13-113 Interactive TV and Paging Central Iowa Design Build

Interactive TV and Paging Des Moines, IA

Project 636A6-13-113

The purpose of this design-build project is to remove the existing antenna TV and Public-Address (PA) systems at the Central Iowa VA Medical Center and replace them with new systems providing better and expanded services. The new paging system will be addressable, allowing speakers to announce to areas and buildings selectively or to the entire medical center. The new TV system shall provide entertainment from over-the-air sources in patient rooms and common/waiting areas. The new TV system will also integrate with the VA s Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to allow for patient communication with medical staff, delivery of assigned patient education or discharge instructions and be a portal for patient surveys.

Objectives

Install new fiber optic backbone network throughout the medical center campus as shown on the attached reference drawings(to be provided upon Solicitation Posting). This backbone network will provide connectivity for both new TV and Paging Systems

Install a new public-address system in all buildings of the medical center. Provide connection points for buildings planned but not yet occupied or under construction.

The new paging system must be completely installed and operational before removal of the existing paging system can be removed.

Install a new interactive TV system throughout patient care buildings of the medical center.

The installation of the new TV system shall be phased to ensure continuous availability of TV service throughout patient care areas.

Estimated Quantities

Paging System Coverage Full Coverage will be needed in all buildings of the medical center with approximately 681,000 square feet throughout 20 buildings.

Interactive Patient Care TV Locations 195

Entertainment Only TV Locations 50

NOTE: Quantities are approximate and will need to be verified during design through investigation of existing conditions.
