The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Alkek/Lutheran Patient Room Window Film - 507505/JSW Introduction to MD Anderson MD Anderson is known throughout the world for high-quality cancer care, research, academic programs and prevention services. Since its establishment in 1941, MD Anderson has made major contributions to improve the outlook for cancer patients everywhere. MD Anderson was one of the first three federally designated comprehensive cancer centers by the National Cancer Act of 1971. A survey of health professionals has routinely ranked MD Anderson as one of the two premier cancer centers in the nation for the past eight years. Over 55,000 persons annually seek care at MD Anderson. The team approach to cancer care, pioneered at MD Anderson, has been strengthened by consolidating specialty clinics into multi-disciplinary care centers that allow patients to receive more ambulatory care and treatment in a single location. MD Anderson offers one of the largest bone marrow and stem cell transplantation programs, as well as clinical trials to improve existing therapies. Teams of clinical specialists collaborate with scientists on problems of common interest and test theories that shorten the application of better treatment methods. Translational research studies are responsible for the promising field of chemoprevention, which uses synthetic vitamins to reverse pre-malignant lesions and halt the recurrence of some cancers, and for innovative gene therapy strategies being evaluated for several forms ofcancer. With faculty and staff working in more than 30 buildings in the greater Houston area and in central Texas, MD Anderson is the largest freestanding cancer center in the world. The physical plant covers more than 11 million square feet, featuring the latest equipment and facilities to support growing needs in outpatient and inpatient care, research, prevention and education. It includes inpatient hospital facilities with 571 beds. Construction projects include the addition of 12 floors that can accommodate more than 300 new inpatient beds in Alkek Hospital on the North Campus; two new research buildings on the South Campus that will house the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research and Center for Targeted Therapy as part of the McCombs Institute; and MD Anderson's first facility on its Mid Campus, a 25-story building to support current office space and future growth needs. In addition to its main campus in the Texas Medical Center and two research campuses in Bastrop County, Texas, MD Anderson has developed a number of local, national and international affiliations RFx Overview A pre-proposal conference will be held on August 2, 2011, at 2:00 PM CST. The location of the meeting is 1515 Holcombe, Alkek Building, Conference Room R11.1663 E/F, Houston, Tx 77030. This project will protect the Alkek and Lutheran patient room windows from shattering during hurricane force wind events. A clear/tint film is being proposed to be placed on the inside of the exterior glass windows of a total of 560 patient rooms in the Alkek Hospital and Lutheran Pavilion areas. Included are identified ICU rooms patient rooms which have full length sliding glass doors to separate the ICU room from the nursing stations. These full length glass doors will also require the protective film. Also, included in the total are 52 rooms identified as requiring QMI Security Solutions type metal window shutters installed on the inside of the room windows in addition to the glass protective film. These rooms include the radiation implant rooms and the intensive care units. An add alternate for the positive pressure rooms identified on Alkek 12th floor east are also being considered for metal shutters. The reason for using shutters in addition to the protective film in these specifically identified rooms is in case of an extreme event where evacuation procedures are being followed, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to evacuate and relocate the patients in these rooms to other safe areas of the hospital. The metal window shutters will be shut and locked manually, by facilities personnel, prior to the hurricane event. Alkek Hospital and Lutheran Pavilion are operating hospitals. Mobilizing, scheduling and installation of all work for this project must be considerate of patient operations. Noise, dust, intrusion into patient rooms, halls and common areas must be scheduled with floor operations contacts for each hospital area. Certain areas will require nights and weekend access. Number of rooms available for access will vary from day to day depending on hospital census. Contractor equipment, cutting, and assembly areas will be established on each floor, as available, as work progresses. A preliminary construction schedule is included as a guideline for a proposed goal for patient room availability. By no means is patient room availability cleared for these times. Weekly schedule meeting will be held with facility operations to block out room availability according to work areas and hospital census at the time. Questions related to this RFP must be sent via the information request form. All questions must be received no later than August 9, 2011 5:00 PM. Questions received after this time will not be accepted. Questions will not be answered via telephone.
