10. 10. 1965 - ARMC Emergency Department & ICU Expansion Feasibility Study and Master Planning

Adventist Regional Medical Center (ARMC) in California is soliciting proposals through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process for feasibility study and master planning services related to the expansion of the facility's Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit. The procurement seeks qualified consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive feasibility analysis, site assessments, and develop detailed master plan documentation to guide the expansion project, with deliverables including architectural and operational planning recommendations, cost estimates, phasing strategies, and implementation guidance focused on operational efficiency and patient flow optimization. Proposers must demonstrate substantial experience in healthcare facility planning, emergency department design, and ICU expansion projects, with qualified teams capable of conducting space planning, operational analysis, and infrastructure assessment of existing facilities. The RFP establishes a mandatory virtual proposal conference scheduled for May 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., which all interested bidders are required to attend, with proposals due by June 17, 2026. Evaluation criteria include demonstrated experience in relevant healthcare facility planning, qualifications of the proposed project team, comprehensive understanding of the scope of work, and cost-effectiveness of the proposed approach. The study will serve as the foundational planning document for ARMC's capital expansion initiative, with funding sourced through the facility's capital planning budget.

The RFP documents do not clearly specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular categories of organizations, though prevailing wage requirements apply to the project, as evidenced by included California prevailing wage determinations effective through 2026-2027 and federal wage determinations dated February 26, 2026. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available solicitation materials. The project will integrate with ARMC's existing facility infrastructure, utilizing the baseline campus floor plan for the Diagnostics/Treatment/Outpatient building located at 400 North Pepper Avenue in Colton, California, which encompasses approximately 438,390 net square feet across four floors with detailed architectural layouts and room-by-room specifications provided as reference documentation. Pricing shall be submitted as part of the proposal response; however, the specific award value or budget range for the feasibility study and master planning phase is not explicitly stated in the available materials. The selected consultant will be compensated based on a percent-of-task-completed basis as determined by ARMC's satisfaction, with monthly invoices submitted within twenty days of month-end and ARMC payment due within sixty working days of invoice receipt.
