FBO Pre-Solicitation Notice Solicitation No. 36C24520R0035 Minor Project No. 613-126 Award Item AE Design Renovate/Expand 47 Bed Domiciliary Pod B (Design) The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), 510 Butler Avenue, Martinsburg, WV 25405 is seeking a qualified Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business A/E firm to provide Schematic Design, Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), Design Development, Construction/Bid Documents, Specifications, Construction Cost Estimate, and Construction Period Services for the Renovate/Expand 47 Bed Domiciliary (Dom) Pod B (Design). This project includes the complete renovation and replacement of the HVAC system of the 47 Bed Dom Pod B HVAC with approximately 20,000 GSF of space single story dom and the 37-year-old courtyard of 3,770 SF. Renovation and expansion will also include up to 5,000 GSF will create approximately 28% of the beds in one-bed rooms with private baths and expand the bed count to 57. Priorities of Work: This project provides a complete renovation and replacement of the HVAC system of an approximately 20,000 s.f. single story domiciliary and courtyard that is 37 years old. The courtyard of the Domiciliary is 3770 SF. Renovation and expansion of up to 5,000 GSF will create approximately 28% of the beds in one-bed rooms with private baths and expand the bed count on this Pod to 57. The renovation will include updated finishes, systems replacement and floor plan changes to reflect the current standards of care. This renovation/expansion will enhance patient and women's privacy with single bed rooms with private baths. The size of the single unit within the project will be determined in the Schematic stage. The remainder of the bedrooms will be two-bed rooms with a shared bath in the room. The number of occupants will increase to 57 and the exact ratio of one-bed units and two-bed units will be determined during the 15% Preliminary Design stage. This project will increase the size of the Unit to meet projected demand. The renovation of the 502 Dom B Pod will allow increased privacy for Domiciliary residents, create a more family like environment for all patients, as well as providing female residents with an increased sense of security and pride in their living space. The mechanical systems throughout the Domiciliary in Bldg. 502B are beyond their life expectancy and do not meet the current requirements for occupancy. This project will provide two complete new mechanical systems for Pod B. The interior courtyard shall be upgraded in a way that minimizes maintenance and encourages use by the male and female population. At a minimum the A/E shall reference the VA design guide plates located at http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dGuide.asp and the VA design manuals located at https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dManual.asp for comprehensive architectural and engineering requirements for each space listed.
