- 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 addition calls for a Rauland-Borg Nurse Call/Code Blue System like that used throughout the VA's James A. Haley Veterans Hospital (JAHVH) campus. The system consists of a central server (computer) to which all of the individual nurse call units report. The system facilitates a variety of reporting options for management of the system, troubleshooting and repair. It also allows calls to be transferred to areas when staffing dictates and can be preprogrammed to forward calls to other areas during certain days or times. Additionally, JAHVH has purchased and is implementing the Extensions custom middleware solution to allow calls to go directly to staff members using the Vocera badge system. It is the Government's position that the nurse call system for the New Bed Tower be a seamless expansion of the existing campus system or reporting, call transferring, automatic staff notifications through Vocera, and other functions will be lost. Additionally, as the Rauland-Borg system is proprietary, any attempt to make it interface with other systems, if possible, is deemed cost prohibitive. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Rauland-Borg system is considered the only feasible alternative for the New Bed Tower. However, the Government seeks comments from vendors regarding its position and reasonable alternatives, if any. Please submit all capability statements to Jason Dalton at Jason.J.Dalton@usace.army.mil. NO FAXED DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
