GENERAL SCOPE

The current nurse’s station on the 10th floor east side of the inpatient mental health unit at the Kansas

City VA Medical Center is outfitted with older a furniture system that is unsafe, and not applicable to the

standards-imposed nation- and industry-wide. The older nurse’s station has resulted with unsafe and

unhappy staff and has ultimately caused the east side of the remain un-open. Due to the current furniture

system being comprised of built in components the Interior Design department is unable to fix and/or

repair this system as we are unable to procure replacements parts. This has left a large “graveyard” area

within the hospital where the furniture is inoperable and not to the set design standards for proper height

and protection.

This requirement includes healthcare furniture, design, project management, professional installation,

and maintenance/warranty services.

Healthcare furnishings include case goods, filing and storage systems, systems furniture, furniture

accessories and related services.

The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to

satisfy the needs of each ordering activity.
