RECOVERY--Z--PROJECT NUMBER 689-09-101, Renovation, approximately 13, 000 square foot inpatient rehab on the sixth floor of Building 1 East at VAMC West Haven, Connecticut

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting Small Businesses contractors for the renovation of approximately 13,000 square foot inpatient rehab on the sixth floor of Building 1 East at VAMC West Haven, Connecticut. Main items of work include the complete renovation, approximately 13,000 sq ft, of Building 1, 6th floor East at the VA Medical Center in West Haven, CT. The renovation will create a new 23 bed medical/surgical inpatient unit. Currently, the medical/surgical units are located on the 4th floor of Building 1; however, the existing units are out-dated and do not provide patient privacy. Additionally, the lack of storage space creates a safety hazard in the circulation of the space. This project will create a new 23 bed unit with single and double patient bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. In addition, infrastructure, to include Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP), Fire Protection, and Information Technology, in this area will be replaced and upgraded. This renovation will also require relocating the current occupants of the above space, which is currently mostly office space, into modular units. The provision of the modular units and the relocation of occupants are also part of this work.
