Description

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE AND NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. This is a sources sought document only. The VA Medical Center in West Palm Beach FL intends to award a contract for Architect/Engineering services for complete construction documents (working drawings, specifications, and reports), estimates and construction period services associated with the design of a newly renovated space of approximately 15,000 square feet at the West Palm Beach Medical Center which will create an ambulatory/emergency center in an east location of the Medical Center's first floor (Building 1). The location for re-design is east of the Main Entrance encompassing the existing Ambulatory/Emergency Center, and it's close proximity to the ancillary Crisis, Detox and CT Scan rooms. Services will encompass all emergency room services and other supportive services and procedures that are required to be performed for an efficient ambulatory/emergency type basis. A centralized patient processing and recovery area will support the efficient operations of the center, as well as nurse sub-stations as needed. The newly designed center will contain an environment, where the patients will be evaluated and be able to receive all diagnostics, as needed, to assess risk prior to any procedures, further treatment, transfer, or discharge. Patients in the ambulatory emergency center may receive necessary pre-operative care and final patient safety monitoring, before the movement into procedure suites. Patients will be discharged post-procedure, post-treatment, post observation, directly from the ambulatory/emergency center, following appropriate patient care, monitoring, and discharge instruction. Office spaces and support staff areas should be investigated and studied for their appropriate and efficient usage in both the Department and the 1st floor areas. This re-engineering/re-design, renovation project is a major component of the facility's plan to meet the demand for Ambulatory/ER care, and prevent development of future backlogs in these highly needed services. Access to care will be improved, as the ambulatory/emergency department may allow for the addition of new services in both medical and surgical specialties. Financial opportunities associated with the project include a reduced fee basis cost, improved staff utilization through better position management, increased opportunity for third-party reimbursement, DOD sharing agreements, consolidation of equipment and supplies usage, decreased cancellation of procedures, and proper preparation and overall CARE of patients. The center's design will also allow for the facility to better meet the intent of JCAHO's patient safety goals by improving the accuracy of patient identification, providing for wrong site/patient/procedure surgeries, and reducing the risk of health care-acquired infections. Work will be completed, excluding construction period services, within 180 days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed. The NAICS code associated with this project is 541310, and the Small Business size standard is $7.0 M in annual gross revenues averaged over the past three years.
