Added: May 20, 2010 4:28 pm The A/E shall provide a design for a construction contract of a 10,000 GSF replacement building for the SPD Department currently housed in the basement of Building 31 at this medical center. The new addition will be a replacement for the current Sterile Processing and Distribution (SPD) Department, and will be attached to Building 31. Construction cost estimated to be in the range of 5.0 to 10.0 million dollars. Services will include, but not be limited to site investigation, schematic design, design development, construction documents, cost estimating, construction period services, and construction period site visits. Additionally, as part of the site investigation, the A/E will be required to evaluate the potential building sites for the replacement SPD and submit a written report outlining their recommendations regarding the optimum location for the new addition.. The new addition shall be designed in form and function consistent with those set forth in VA design guides and VA Space Planning Criteria.

The A/E will provide a cost estimate at each review and a final cost estimate to perform the above work and will design only those items that can be provided within the cost limitation. Submission requirements are the schematic design submission (10%), a design development submission (35%), two construction document submissions (70% and 90%), and a bid document submission, each with refined cost estimates as required.
