LOCATION This Project will Renovate the CLC Courtyard located at the James J. Peters Bronx VA Medical Center, 130 W. Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10468. SCOPE OF SERVICE REQUIRED PROJECT NO. 526-13-107, RENOVATE CLC COURTYARD. This Project will Renovate the CLC Courtyard located at the James J. Peters Bronx VA Medical Center, 130 W. Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10468. The Project includes renovation of approximately 12,000 square feet of existing courtyard space located between the CLC and Chapel Building 107. A/E services will include but are not limited to Architectural, HVAC, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Geotechnical, Sprinkler and Communication (telephone and data), as well as other design considerations, to renovate the courtyard between the Community Living Center (CLC) Building 106 and the Chapel Building 107 at the James J. Peters Medical Center to create a two-story atrium with an outdoor area. Access to natural environment is beneficial to the long term health of the population residing in the CLC. However, the courtyard between the CLC and Chapel buildings is seldom used by residents during conditions such as heavy rain, snow, extreme heat or cold. To provide access to an area where residents are able to enjoy sunlight and flora all year round, a glass atrium will be constructed in place of the current courtyard. An atrium covering only two-thirds of the existing area will leave an area for the residents to enjoy conventional outdoor activities. The area of the courtyard is approximately 12,000 square feet. The renovations should include but not limited to, a new glass roof and wall(s) to create the atrium, a new floor for the interior atrium area, a new floor that include proper drainage for exterior area, reconfiguration of the existing landscaping with proper irrigation for indoor flora, several kiosks in the atrium's periphery, and a security camera system for the area. Design should incorporate the principles of sustainable design, including the use of natural lighting and ventilation. The Project will comply with VA-adopted codes and standards including VA Directives, Design Manuals, Master Construction Specifications, NFPA Design Criteria and other Guidance on the Technical Information Library (http://www.cfm.va.gov/til/). I.SCHEMATICS/FEASIBILITY STUDY/DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS.
