The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, has a design-bid-build requirement for the women’s health expansion (minor) construction project in Chicago, IL.

N/A

• This work will include but not be limited to the construction of a now approximately 16,500 SF addition at the 2nd Floor (First Floor roof) level of Building 30.
• Additional areas include a new exit stair added on the exterior southeast corner of the existing building 30, a mechanical penthouse, and a rooftop chiller. These will be added at the 2nd floor roof level. The project will be required to facilitate both vertical and horizontal adjacencies, to configure the space for compliance with VA Design Manuals.
• Building services, structure and building envelope including a penthouse will be extended to facilitate the needs of all required utilities and systems (HVAC, Water, Sewer, Electrical, Data, and Medical Gases). The architectural design and equipment layout will meet the current VA requirements for a facility of this type.
• The project area/site is directly above a fully fitted, functioning clinic space on the first Floor of Building 30, which will need to remain operational during construction. Some areas will need to be temporarily closed during phasing periods to allow for routing of utilities to the new space above.
• A new building shell and interior buildout will be constructed at the Second-Floor level of Building 30. Interior spaces generally consist of drywall assemblies, finished with paints. Ceilings will be a combination of Acoustic Ceiling Tiles (ACT) and gypsum board at locations as shown on the drawings.
