The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS), 1010 Delafield Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15215, is seeking professional design services from an architect-engineering (A/E) firm to develop preliminary/working drawings and specifications to install and relocate sterile processing equipment and improve the Sterile Processing Service Line (SPS) space functionality at VAPHS, Building 1, University Drive Campus, Pittsburgh, PA 15240, as described in Project # 646-13-102 "UD, Site Prep for Washer Disinfectors". This project includes, but is not limited to the following: Develop preliminary drawings, working drawings, and specifications to relocate existing sterile processing equipment; install new sterile processing equipment; and improve the Sterile Processing Service Line's space functionality at Building 1 at the UD Division of VAPHS. This work includes, but is not limited to installation of new equipment, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design services. The Sterile Processing Service Line has purchased 2 washer-disinfectors to meet increased demand for sterilized tools and equipment. SPS will also be purchasing new healthcare prep/processing tables to increase the efficiency of their processes. In preparation for the addition of new equipment, new utilities and relocation of existing utilities will need to be provided to prep this space for the new equipment. This provides an opportunity to reconfigure the area to solve the following issues: egress issues due to cluttered tables; break room not compliant with space policy for VHA employees; and space not sufficient for increased staffing.
