Rotunda Hospital: Suitability Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) - Critical Care Wing Enabling Works Contractor as PSCS

Description

Rotunda Hospital plans to develop a new Critical Care Wing on the existing Rotunda Hospital campus. This project will entail the construction of a new 4 storey over basement, 10,000m2 new build acute critical care wing and the refurbishment of approximately 2,000m2 of existing acute hospital facilities within the existing main hospital. The proposed location for the new Critical Care Wing is on the site of the existing single storey outpatient and diagnostics radiology department and the main entrance ramp and pedestrian stairs to the internal campus concourse. In addition, the nature of the proposed site for the location of the new Critical Care Wing, means that there are a significant number of existing live services and utilities including plant and equipment either within or adjacent to the proposed site that will need to be relocated. It is proposed that the new Critical Care Wing would be delivered under four separate contract phases including 1. New Outpatient Department - completed in an off-campus location in early 2025 2. Temporary Radiology Department Building currently under construction on campus 3. Critical Care Wing Enabling Works - subject of this SAQ 4.
