This effort covers all facets of work and disciplines/trades necessary to facilitate the construction project, specifically preparing the site for two advanced interventional imaging systems (e.g., Azurion 7 C20 FlexArm 4300mm in room M2-470 and Azurion 7 C20 in room M2-469).

The A/E will verify whether the existing door s lead lining meets the code and requirement and incorporate appropriate doors into the design for construction. Additionally, solutions to address the below-average condition steam convectors and their obsolete controls will be integrated. The A/E firm will ensure all required federal, state/provincial, and local permits and licenses for construction, installation, and operation of the equipment are obtained. The project will be designed to comply with Infection Control and Interim Life Safety Measures, with drawing, specification, and cost estimate submissions provided at 35% (Schematic Design), 65% (Design Development), 95% (Construction Documents), and Final Bid Documents to the VA.
