100% Hospital Enterprise Funds.
The main purpose of this project is to expand the Emergency Department (ED) fast track area at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) to help decrease the number of annual patient visits to the ED. Currently, the ED is operating at twice the design capacity.
The project, which involves approximately 5,960 square feet of interior modifications and improvements for fast track and patient triage on the third floor (Emergency and Imaging Departments), will result in reconfiguration of waiting and reception, triage and registration, exam rooms, medication room, radiology reading room, offices and work areas requiring new partitions, suspended ceilings, flooring, painting, casework, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, telephone/data communications, etc. The area of interior improvements is located in the west side of the five-story hospital building.
Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by HDR Architecture, Inc. and have been filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Public Works Director. The construction cost estimate is $3,079,000, and the general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project.
If this project is not approved and authorized, the Emergency Department at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center will continue to operate at twice the design capacity.
