The hospital often experiences small disasters that will affect patient care areas. An example of such events can be a small fire affecting patient care room, where an electrical short and an oxygen line led to a fire, or a broken sprinkler head, led to water damage to a nurse’s station and several patient rooms; or, a broken sewer pipe on a specific floor affected not only the floor the incident took place on, but the black water worked its way to the floors below. The goal is to address the architectural need for remediation and build back as quickly as possible. The project demands from the Architect of Record (AOR) will be as follows: 1. The Architectural team will need to respond and physically be present to walk the affected areas within 12 hours of the incident. 2. Team of consultants to be assembled within 24 hours. 3. The consultant teams within assessing the situation, will provide direction to the remediation team, within 24 hours. 4. Consultant team will start an emergency project with HCAI within 48 hours of walking the emergency project. 5. Consultant will be readily available to the Inspector of Record, the Project Manager, and the Contractor to provide guidance, as the firm prepares the Drawings and submits to HCAI within 7 days of incident. Drawings and Construction will be completed simultaneously. 6. Upon completion of the work, conduct the punch walk with the IOR. 7. Complete the administrative work and closeout the project with HCAI, within two weeks of construction completion.
