Phase I: Infrastructure Upgrades Integrated Companies, Incorporated (ICI) is a design build firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado. We do work all over the country that focuses on the high-tech and healthcare industries. Along with the MHCC project, we are involved with Niobrara Health and Life Center in Lusk and have previously done work with Sheridan. Chuck Knowles is ICI’s on-site construction superintendent. He is working closely with MHCC personnel to coordinate all efforts. ICI is the company that just completed the upgrade to the IS server room to accommodate the implementation of Meditech. The purpose of the Strategic Master Plan Program is to optimize the current Memorial Hospital of Converse County property to fulfill the future healthcare needs of Douglas and the surrounding communities. Phase I: Infrastructure Upgrades includes upgrading the electrical, mechanical, and medical systems to accommodate future growth and expansion at MHCC. The upgrades of the electrical system at MHCC include the emergency power system and new equipment power distribution. The construction in and around the main front parking lot is due to the installation of the new emergency generator. The wall, in the end, will be put back up when the generator is set in, just taller and with decoration. Along with the exterior wall construction the parking lot island was modified to accommodate delivery vehicles and traffic flow. The design-engineering for mechanical system upgrades include the cooling system, heating system, medical vacuum, and future medical air compressor. We are starting with the construction of new cooling plant. This includes a new chiller, new cooling towers to be mounted on the roof, new pumps, heat exchangers, and controls. The design of the new plant focused on energy and operation efficiencies. It will be easier to operate and cost efficient. We are also underway with a retro commissioning effort which is the evaluation and retro fit of the existing HVAC systems in the hospital. This will correct heating, cooling, and electrical deficiencies. During that process we will be making the proper adjustments for air flow within the heating and cooling systems, which may include adding new heating and cooling zones. Medical system upgrades will include relocating the medical vacuum equipment in the central utilities plant. In addition to the electrical, mechanical, and medical system upgrades we will also be doing central plant building upgrades. These include new drains, floor coatings, lighting, painting, doors, and creation of separate boiler and chiller rooms. Phase I should be complete in early 2010. |
