Y -- SOURCES SOUGHT, NURSING HOME/ASSISTED LIVING PROGRAM DUE 031897 POC Contact: Tangela Cooper (Contracting Officer), 202/565-4307; Tenee Badey (Project Manager), 202/565-4307 The department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking a developer/operator for a Nursing Home and/or Assisted Living Center at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Indianapolis, Indiana. The department's goal is to obtain a quality, on-site Nursing Home and/or Assisted Living Center in which Veteran patients could be placed. The developer may propose other uses in combination with the Nursing Home and/or Assisted Living Center. Currently, the medical center places approximately 500 nursing home patients annually and these patients fall equally within all the ranges of care. -- The center would be located on river front property in the metropolitan Indianapolis area and would be a part of the city's major university medical complex. The city currently has a massive river front development plan, which will provide parks, boating, shops,etc. Given the immediate proximity to the medical facility, lucrative sharing arrangements could be negotiated for ancillary medical/diagnostic care as well as for services such as meal preparation,plant management, etc. -- The Roudebush Medical Center has approximately 1600 employees and provides a full range of medical, surgical, psychiatric, dental and long term care services to more than 150,000 veterans in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The Medical Center maintains a close educational affiliation with the Indiana University School of Medicine. It is currently in the finial stages of a significant $94 Million dollar renovation project, which completes its contemporary new design. It is also highly regarded in the community. -- Under the VA's Enhanced-Use Leasing program, the VA will provide a long term lease of property (35 years) with potential for extension, on the land necessary to accommodate the scope of the project. In return the developer/operator will be required to finance, design, construct, and operate the facility with all site improvements, structures, and utilities necessary to support, in accordance with the State of Indiana regulations and local building codes. The offer may propose a center that accommodates more patients than that necessary for veterans dependent on the capacity of site and design. -- VA is consididering pursuing this proposal, if your organization is interested please either FAX an Expression of Interest to (202/565-5115), or mail by March 18, 1997, to: Department of Veterans Affairs, Facilities Management Office, Office of Asset and Enterprise Development (189), Attn: Renee Badey; 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20420.
