2 I. INTRODUCTION The University of California, San Diego, will be selecting an Executive Architect to perform: design, construction drawings, bid, and construction administrative services for (2) separately funded projects. Project #1 consists of a major renovation/addition to the UCSD Thornton Hospital: entry, atrium, and adjoining exterior building facades. This project is approved to move forward and has funding approval. Project #2 consists of a major renovation/addition to the Thornton Hospital Radiology Department. This project is in the approval process and funding has not yet been finalized. Both projects are located at the UCSD Medical Center, 9300 Campus Point Drive, La Jolla, California. The projects are subject to the campus/university academic and administrative approval process. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Project #1 consists of the demolition/renovation of the current Thornton Hospital East Entry and the surrounding Thornton North and East facades. The existing Thornton three story tall atrium will be refreshed so that the interiors are more compatible with the current vision of hospitality design. The new exterior entry element and the adjoining facades will be aesthetically upgraded to unify the JMC, Thornton, and CVC facades. Massing elements of the upgraded Entry Element may allow for added meeting spaces on the upper floors. The exact scope, and extent of the renovation will be determined ultimately by the budget and the design team working in conjunction with the Med Center and FD&C. This project consists of approximately 23,000 GSF, with a total construction cost estimated at $10.6M (July 2015 CCCI 6055). Project #2 consists of an approximately 5,300 GSF program for an upgraded Radiology Suite and new MRI. Demolition/renovation of existing tenant improvements, and or, a possible 1,800 GSF addition are being considered for this project. The total construction cost is estimated at $6M (July 2015 CCCI 6055). Both projects will have separate funding sources and may have separate, or joint, OSHPD permits. Both projects will be simultaneously designed, constructed, and managed by the same Design Team and contractor, Construction is anticipated to occur from March 1, 2018 to May 1, III. SCOPE OF SERVICES Phase I involves the development of a Detailed Project Program (DPP) describing the program and scope of each project to be constructed, including: evaluation of existing infrastructure systems (MEP & Structural) at the area of the projects, review of existing record documents and field conditions, and the creation of several conceptual design options showing the anticipated scopes possible within the budgets. The DPP is the operative document that will describe the exact program and scope of the work; confirmation of conceptual construction cost estimates will occur at this time. Phase I services will begin upon selection of the Executive Architect, approximately mid-march 2016 and are anticipated to be complete by June 30, REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS Page 2
