The vendor is required to provide that equine medical center feasibility study services for include:
1. Feasibility study
• The architectural and engineering A/E services will provide a feasibility study at a firm fixed price to identify potential scope items and associated cost estimates for renovations and upgrades to the equine medical center.
• Under this feasibility study, the A/E shall investigate existing conditions and conduct design workshops with appropriate agency personnel and other associated agency stakeholders essential to the project to develop sets of design/scope alternatives and cost estimates that are achievable within the construction budget.
• Create a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate current space allocation and infrastructure to develop long-term renovations and additions plans for clinical operations, teaching, and research activities at the Marion Dupont Scott equine medical center (EMC).
• Feasibility study will include the evaluation of the original approximate 70,000 gross square feet of clinical space commissioned in 1984 and the subsequent additions of the isolation building, treadmill building, research lab, research barn, Younkin equine soundness clinic, and indoor arena which is situated on approximately 200 acres wherein the majority of infrastructure resides within 60 acres.
2. Study goals
• Evaluate current emergency spaces and identify options to dedicate space (renovations or additions) for the specific needs of emergency admissions, triage, treatment, biosecurity, holding, and inpatient (IP) housing.
• Evaluate current intensive care unit (ICU) AND neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) spaces and identify options to dedicate space (renovations or additions) for the specific needs of inpatient care, biosecurity, mare and foal inpatient housing, and isolation.
• Evaluate current outpatient (OP), inpatient (IP), and emergency (ER) patient flow and identify optimal patient admissions, biosecurity, workup and treatment spaces, and holding space.
• Evaluate current operating room suites, associated central sterilization, stocking, and work areas.
• Identify solutions to induction and recovery spaces, surgical preparation spaces, anesthesia spaces, or room function, and biosecurity.
• Evaluate current standing or procedures spaces and identity solutions (renovations or additions) for standing procedures in stocks.
• Evaluate administrative spaces, specifically house officer and student spaces and underutilized spaces between faculty offices and the hospital.
3. MEP
• Provide an overview of the current system’s functionality and service life.
• Identify capacity for expansion or need for additional MEP infrastructure to support feasibility recommendations.
4. Site plan and civil infrastructure
• identify needed site and civil infrastructure to meet the recommendations of “clinical operations” and “MEP.”
5. Deliverables (internal use)
• Provide a minimum of three options for each “clinical operations” item and to include rough order of magnitude (ROM) pricing for each option.
• Provide fundraising graphics and vignettes for EMC’s selected options to be used for fundraising efforts.
• Provide a comprehensive report for “MEP items to include rom pricing.”
• Provide a comprehensive report for “site plan and civil infrastructure” items to include rom pricing and lead times for town requirements.
6. Ideal deliverables draft
• Cost information for these strategies would be order of magnitude only, to help determine which concept to focus on.
• Options would be presented in a “bubble diagram” format and siting plans.
• Develop preferred option for enhancement and expansion and provide electronic final report:
o Conceptual plans at “bubble diagram” level of detail including potential phasing strategies.
o Room data sheets describing the criteria of each major renovated or added programmatic space.
o Conceptual site plan.
o Narrative describing conceptual approach to the expansion of utilities supporting the renovations and additions and sketches of new building systems, whether in the existing building or the expansion.
o The narrative would include a list of major equipment along with their capacity.
o Narrative describing conceptual approach to sitting and site utility expansion needed.
o Blocking and stacking level of detail for any expansions
o Feasibility study level of opinion of cost provided.
