Review Facilty Condition Assessment (FCA) Develop a roadmap for upgrades and expansions to meet future hospital demands. Projects shall be realistic and not exceed $16M. Any projects that exceed $16M, shall be specifically discussed during project reviews. Projects shall be rated based on the highest importance to Medical Center To enhance the reliability and efficiency of the hospital s electrical systems STATEMENT OF TASKS: This survey shall include, but may not be limited to, the following tasks: Assessment and Evaluation Conduct on-site assessments of existing electrical systems, including power generation, distribution, and emergency systems. Review as-built drawings, previous electrical studies, and maintenance records. Perform load analysis and evaluate current and future power demands. Identify code compliance issues and areas where the system lacks redundancy or resilience. Development of the Electrical Master Plan Provide detailed documentation of the existing electrical system. Update single-line diagrams representing the present state of the electrical system. Propose upgrades, replacements, and new installations required to meet current and future demands. Integrate renewable energy sources if applicable. Develop phasing plans and timelines for the implementation of recommended improvements. Cost Estimation and Budgeting Provide cost estimates for all recommended upgrades and expansions. Develop a prioritized list of projects with associated budgeting and timelines.
