- Description
- The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Directorate of Contracting intends to insert a brand name specification into a firm fixed price contract for Project Number VA-0007-2016, New Bed Tower, Tampa, Florida. The New Bed Tower is an addition to the VA's James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) campus. It consists of 222,000 gross square feet and will feature approximately 100 medical surgical single patient rooms and 40 intensive care unit beds, as well as assorted support, education and canteen service spaces. The integration of building systems for the addition with the rest of the campus is critical to the operations, management, and ultimately the treatment of patients at JAHVH. The design for the New Bed Tower calls for a Pevco Pneumatic Tube System like that used throughout the JAHVH campus. As the New Bed tower is integral to the treatment of patients at JAHVH, the facility operations, management, and protection systems for the entire campus must be seamless. This system is capable of content tracking, reducing delays by tracking specimens as they travel from a nursing area to a lab. The system enables staff to know which specimen was sent, when it was sent, and when and where it arrived and ties staff people to the delivery of the specimens. Pevco systems monitor deliveries, find missing items and analyzes data with a user-friendly web application for real-time review of all transactions; improves processes with detailed transaction reports that shed light on bottlenecks and delays; and limits human error with an intuitive touch control built for speed and accuracy. The Pneumatic Tube System must interface with existing Pevco stations in the Laboratories to be able to receive samples from New Bed Tower. It is the Government's position that because the pneumatic tube system for the New Bed Tower must seamlessly interface with the system used throughout the campus, and that the Pevco system is proprietary and any attempt to make it interface with other systems, if possible, is cost prohibitive, the Pevco system is the only feasible alternative for the New Bed Tower. However, the Government seeks comments from vendors regarding its position and, if any, reasonable alternatives. Please submit all capability statements to Jason Dalton at Jason.J.Dalton@usace.army.mil. NO FAXED DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
