REQUEST FOR SF 330's - 640-410 Laboratory / Pharmacy Buildings Design 1. This is a request for Standard Form 330, not a request for proposal. Provide Professional architectural and engineering design services for two separate new buildings for a Pharmacy and Laboratory at the Bob Stump Northern VA Health Care Center (NAVAMC), Prescott, Arizona. 2. The firm shall be listed in CCR under NAICS code 541310 (SIZE STANDARD $7 Million) and/ or 541330 (SIZE STANDARD $14 Million) to Provide Architectural / Engineering design services at the Bob Stump Northern VA Health Care Center (NAVAMC) for the Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Document and Construction Administration phases of design for the following areas; 1) the Laboratory area, 2) the Rehabilitation area. Areas are noted on the attached floor plan. All services provide in the SOW shall meet current local, state, federal, VA, VISN, ADA, NFPA, TJC and Life safety codes and directives. This minor project will construct two separate buildings: a pharmacy and a laboratory. Both buildings will serve both inpatient and outpatient needs. The intent is to locate both buildings next to each other next to and above the newly constructed Emergency Department. This location will place both functions right between the ED and the Outpatient Care Clinic, and will provide good access to both the Community Living Center (CLC) and the Inpatient Care wards in Building 107 via the elevated corridor between the CLC and Building 107 (commonly referred to as the "Miracle Mile"). A description of these two buildings follows below: The Pharmacy Department is currently located in Building 117, adjacent to the Outpatient Care functions at the facility. Until recently, the Emergency Department was also located in Building 117 and was adjacent to the Pharmacy. However, Ambulatory Care is growing significantly and is taking over the previous Emergency Department space. With the increasing size of both the ED and Ambulatory Care, the Pharmacy needs to expand. It also needs to be located next to both the ED and Ambulatory Care while having good access to the facility's inpatient care areas. The best location for the new expanded Pharmacy appears to be next to the new Emergency Department, with access to the Miracle Mile corridor that joins the inpatient areas. The new space will be approximately 6,000 net square feet and approximately 10,000 gross square feet. The current laboratory is on the first floor of Building 107. It is approximately 3,900 s.f. in area, far short of the 10,000 n.s.f. required. There isn't sufficient space at the current location to expand the lab and relocating the lab to improve access to the new ED, the expanding ambulatory care space and the inpatient care areas is desirable. The recommended new location is contiguous with the new pharmacy which meets all of these goals. There is also some odd space under the elevated Miracle Mile that may function well for secure pharmacy or lab storage requirements for controlled substances and valuable reagents. The awarded A/E firm will develop standard design documents for use in the bidding and construction by a qualified contractor. The A/E firm will also provide construction administration. The awarded firm will provide the noted HVAC review and testing work and associated documentation. 3.
