GENERAL SCOPE OF DESIGN: The mission of the Kansas City VA Medical Center (KCVAMC) is to provide the highest quality healthcare to our veterans. To accomplish this, KCVAMC s Facilities Management Services (FMS) intends to partner with an A/E firm to design an upgrade for two interventional imaging systems rooms to accommodate new equipment.

A/E Part One Services (also known as Design Phase) for this design project encompass site visits as needed, field investigations, and the conduct of studies and user interviews to prepare detailed drawings, specifications, and cost estimates. 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 assess whether the existing HVAC system can support the new equipment; if not, a new HVAC system will be designed.

The firm will also ensure the new equipment meets Philips' electrical requirements and is structurally supported. 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.
