Phase 2 Project Narrative
EXHIBIT A
THE CHRIS EVERT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
The new Children’s Hospital is being developed as part of a series of master planned phases through a
number of strategic alterations to the existing South Tower and Robinson Wing of the current Broward
Health Medical Center Campus along with enabling works that will be required in order to implement the
primary functional program. The overall Master Plan was approved by the Building Committee during its
meeting held on May 13, 2010 and includes approximately 218,000 total square feet of work with
additional areas which may be added as they are identified.
Summary of Work Completed in previous Phase 1A– Not in Contract
Phase 1A work including renovations to 4 West Wing, 6 North Tower and 3 and 4 South Tower have
been completed and are not a part of this project. Also, Phase 1 of the Central Energy Plant (CEP)
Improvements have been completed.
Summary of Scope of Work – Phase 2
Chris Evert Children’s Hospital (CECH) Phase 2 Program (The Project) includes 101,778 SF of
renovation and expansion. This project is not to be LEED certified, but the OAC team will consider
best practices and the relative value of first cost and life-cycle cost as part of the design process.
The Project starts with the renovation of 3 MOB caged storage to house the existing administrative
departments currently occupying 2 MOB and 7E and 8E South Tower offices and storage areas. The
relocation of existing materials stored in the 3 MOB caged storage areas will be completed by the hospital
outside the scope of this project.
The Project includes the heavy renovation of Levels 7 and 8 of the South Tower (ST) and 2 and 4 of
Robinson Wing (RW). 8ST will house 12 Pediatric Oncology and 10 Pediatric Med/Surg beds. 7ST will
house a 12 bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and a 10 bed Pediatric Step-Down Unit.
Levels 8ST and 7ST will be done in two sequences, starting with Phase A - renovation of the stacked
th
th
th
th
east half of 7ST and 8ST. Once the east half of 7 and 8 are constructed, the west half of 7 and 8
floor (Phase B) will be renovated. Some temporary construction of access corridors between the main
elevator lobby and construction vestibules will be required to maintain patient occupancy on the
remaining half of the floor during construction.
The Robinson Wing will include heavy renovations to the former Pediatric unit on 2 Robinson Wing to
house 36 private Level II NICU patient rooms and renovation and expansion of 4 Robinson Wing to house
31 private NICU Level III patient rooms in place of the existing open bay NICU. Each neonate will be
cared for in a 160 square foot private room, a “pod” which will offer needed critical care support
technology while permitting parents to remain with their baby and participate in its care.
To capture inpatient and outpatient pediatric specialty cases, the second floor of the existing Medical
Office Building (MOB) will be converted to leasable MOB space for pediatric sub-specialists which will
facilitate a one-stop-shop for children with complex medical needs.
CM @ Risk ROLE DURING DESIGN PHASES
The role of the Construction Manager at Risk will include a collaborative effort to participate in the design
and construction phases of the work with the Owner, Architect, Consulting Engineers and Medical
Equipment planning consultants. The CM at Risk will attend design meetings with the team at least
monthly to summarize the progress of the work as described in the pre-design scope of services listed
BROWARD HEALTH

Phase 2 Project Narrative
Exhibit A
elsewhere in this RFP. The CM at Risk firm will lead pull planning meetings and provide preliminary
budget reviews as scheduled with Broward Health and the design teams.
The CM at Risk will provide input on the selection of major building systems in preliminary design
meetings and assist in the evaluation of the impact of the selected design systems on project budget and
schedule as part of the review of Design Development phase documents for each project.
INFECTION CONTROL RISK ASSESSMENT
The Owner will convene an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) committee for each construction
package that will assess the project scope and determine appropriate infection control measures for this
project. It is understood that the conclusions and standards set forth by the committee, and the directive
measures developed, will remain the responsibility of the Owner. The Architect, Engineers and CM at Risk
(The Team) involvement in this process, whether directly or through consultants, may include consultations
with the ICRA Committee to the extent that the design team will demonstrate aspects for the architectural,
mechanical, electrical and plumbing scopes that appear to need consideration from the committee and
provide engineering input to facilitate the development of appropriate infection control measures.
Information provided to the team for the implementation will be considered “Owner Furnished Information”
and as such, the team will not have any responsibility for its accuracy or effectiveness. Specifically, the
committee to establish items normally expected for such a project such as levels of negative air pressure
in construction zones, quantity of air exchange rates, acceptable points of air discharge, etc. Once
established, the design team will, through the consultants’ actions, provide the effort necessary to define
this work on the construction documents.
PHASE 2 SCOPE OF THE WORK
The project is generally found within the interior envelope of the named areas, with impact of the
surrounding areas, both vertically and horizontally, as necessary by the individual task and installations.
The work is all classified as a complete gut/restoration with heavy remodeling of the space. Each major
package defined below will be separately designed, permitted and constructed, with the exception of 7
and 8 South Tower which will be a single package with 2 phases. The expected sequence of project
delivery is as follows:
A. Renovation of 3MOB suite to house the non-patient care areas currently on half of 8ST and 7ST
plus tenant offices moving up from 2 MOB floor – all Business occupancy without AHCA review.
B. North CEP - Installation of one additional generator, gear, and demolition of selected generators
and HVAC systems in the original South CEP, all to be operational by the time Phase A of 8ST
and 7ST take occupancy.
C. Renovation of 8 ST and 7ST floors as one design package, built in two phases to allow for partial
occupancy during construction. Following Phase A and B Completion and the moves of PICU,
Step Down, Pediatric Hem/Onc and Pediatric Med/Surg to completed 7ST and 8ST, work moves
to Robinson Wing.
D. Renovation of 2MOB for a Pediatric Sub-specialty Center – Business occupancy without AHCA
review to be remodeled for exam rooms and administrative offices.
E. Renovation of 2 Robinson Wing to house 36 private NICU Level II patient rooms.
F. Renovation of 4 Robinson Wing to house 27 private NICU Level III patient rooms.
G. Expansion of 4 Robinson Wing over 5,000 SF of existing roof area to include shell and structural
envelop package, MEP and finishes to accommodate additional NICU support space and 4
Level III NICU patient rooms.

Risk (CM@Risk) to develop a BIM Project Execution Plan (BIMPxP). The BIMPxP will cover the BIM
protocols and deliverables for the Design Phase and also set up a workflow for the Designers of Record
to deliver Record BIMs at the end of construction. The BIMPxP will establish the Level of Development
(LOD) to be applied to each BIM deliverable using a Model Progression Schedule (MPS) to define what
components will be modeled at each LOD during each design and construction phase. The BIMPxP shall
include an Asset Matrix to include Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie) data

to help define the list of Assets that Broward Health is interested in tracking. Anticipate tracking up to 6
major MEP/FP asset groups with an average of 10 individual items in each asset group, a total of 60
items per project. The LOD definitions are in the BIM Forum LOD Specifications 2013 edition.
During the design phase, the project design team shall produce the BIMs using Autodesk Revit 13 (or
later) up to LOD 300 in accordance with the Model Progression Schedule (MPS). It is agreed that the
Design BIMs will depict design intent and modeled utilizing industry standard generic components for
materials and assets as a basis of design using non-proprietary specs (i.e. “or equal”) required by the
Owner.
During Construction, the Contractor shall be responsible for upgrading the BIMs to LOD 350. The
Contractor shall incorporate approved vendor-specific assets with predetermined COBie information
agreed upon in the BIMPxP. The File format shall be compatible with the design BIM authorized software.
After the construction team provides BIM as-built files, The project design team will compile Record BIMs
to hand over to the Owner based on federated BIM As-builts provided by the Contractor. The Record
BIMs will be in Revit 13 (or later), and the Federated Record BIM will be in Navisworks 13 (or later) for
each Project Package in accordance with the agreed upon BIMPxP. The Contractor shall provide as-built
BIMs in either IFC 2x3 or Revit 13 (or later) formats. The Design Team reserves the right to not accept
Construction team as-built BIMs that are incomplete (i.e. poor quality IFCs, or out of place Revit files etc)
from the Contractor.
The Contractor will be responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of the Trade Contractorprovided BIMs that will be incorporated by the design team into the record models. The Designers of
Record will not accept means and methods that deviate from the overall design intent. The Medical
Equipment BIM will include fixed medical equipment specified by the Medical Equipment Planner.
