Long Beach Implementation and Planning (Bldg 1, 2, and 7 and SCI) Seismic Upgrade

Long Beach VA Medical Center Implementation Plan (Projects 600-406, 408. 409 and 410) The VA Office of Construction and Facilities Management requires professional Architectural and Engineering services to prepare an implementation plan for the development of Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center at 5901 East Seventh Street, Long Beach, California. This project addresses the requirement for a comprehensive analysis and planning process assessing the projected needs and the existing sites of care. This project provides VHA leadership with data and analysis for evaluation of strategic capital investments. This project will align capital planning with operational, programmatic, and service delivery plans in a 10-year Master Plan of Strategic Capital Investments. This Implementation Plan shall provide all necessary documentation for the elements of the master plan to move forward as separate SCIP submissions and execution via Design/ Build, or Design/ Bid Build contracts, and/or lease opportunities. This contract includes a study of the courses of action (Upgrade or Demolish/ Construct Replacement/ Lease Replacement) and all implementation planning requirements addressing the renovation and seismic upgrade of Buildings 1, 2, and 7 on the Tibor Rubin VAMC site which are included on the Seismic Extremely High-Risk VA Inventory List. Project No. 600-408, Seismically Mitigate Building 1 (87,971 GSF) Project No. 600-410, Seismically Mitigate Building 2 (80,326 GSF) Project No. 600-406, Seismically Mitigate Building 7 (35,444 GSF) Contract includes the development of all implementation planning requirements for Project No. 600-409 Acquire Spinal Cord Injury/ Disease, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Prosthetics . Context and Market/ Facility Overview Degenkolb Engineers assessed Buildings 1, 2, and 7 as part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Seismic Inventory. The evaluation included ASCE 31 Tier 1 Analysis, a site visit, ASCE 31 full-building Tier 2 analysis as well as a rehabilitation scheme to address the identified deficiencies as well as provide a cost estimate which included a magnitude of order costs to enable VA to make preliminary budgetary decisions. Due to the age of the Seismic Study and the deterioration of the aging structure, VA is seeking an assessment, as defined within this SOW, of the buildings, site, and clinical services to determine the best solution replace, repair, or relocate the functions in these buildings. Per the SCIP submission, Project VHA22-600-2019-36449 Acquire Spinal Cord Injury/Disease, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Prosthetics will construct a 459,217 BGSF SCI/D, PM&R (Rehab), and Prosthetics Center with inpatient and outpatient SCI operations, expanded SCI Long Term Care (LTC) capability, consolidated Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) services, and Prosthetics Services. The project also includes the renovation of Building 150 (per SAT 138,813 SF). In addition to creating a new program which adheres to current VA design guidelines, the project submission added a gymnasium, therapy pools, canteen, and a rooftop garden. Per the SAT, the project also includes 200 surface parking, basement utility and supply corridors, and utility connections to existing structures.
