The purpose of the project is to expand and renovate an existing surgical suite to comply with the current VA design guidelines and provide innovative functional spaces. This requirement corrects several outstanding deficiencies discovered during the facilities condition assessment (FCA) as a result of obsolete equipment and infrastructure for surgical services per the VA Design Manual and other dictating medical codes. The project will be broken down into four phases with each phase being completed and activated prior to the next phase beginning. The first phase will consist of creating three new operating rooms in a currently vacant area of the hospital, resulting in no impact to operating room functions. The second phase will include complete renovation of the existing operating rooms, and patients will be re-routed to the new operating rooms constructed during the first phase. Phase three will include the nursing station pre-op area. This is not expected to impact patient care as alternative areas nearby will be used for post-op. The final phase includes what is currently the post-op recovery and surgical area. The place of performance is the Salem VA Medical Center at 1970 Roanoke Blvd. Salem VA 24153. The period of performance for this project is 840 calendar days from the issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP). MAGNITUDE OF CONSTRUCTION: Between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000.
