RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a report on Natividad Medical Center's key capital improvement projects for the period of May 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Construction Department staff at Natividad Medical Center (NMC) administers capital projects focused on strategically upgrading the hospital by reconfiguring and remodeling to better accommodate healthcare services for Monterey County residents and visitors. NMC is responsible for management, operation, and maintenance of building facilities and roads within the NMC campus.
Radiology Modernization:
NMC Diagnostic Imaging Department is located in Building 500, 1st Floor and requires a complete remodel and modernization. This includes the replacement of obsolescent medical equipment, such as Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In 2013, the department replaced aging X-Ray equipment with new digitally enhanced basic radiographic equipment. This was considered Phase 1, in a multi-phase approach to modernize the Imaging Department. Phase 2, includes adding two new CT scanners, a new MRI, and new Angiography Equipment. The cost for architectural services and construction is budgeted at $14,300,000 which does not include the equipment cost. The Security project has current expenditures of $66,500 in FY 2014-15 which was funded by the Radiology Modernization Project. The Security Relocation Project has its own capital budget in FY 2015-16 which will reduce the Radiology Modernization's overall estimated project cost by $371,050 in FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, therefore, reducing the estimated total cost from $14,300,000 to $13,928,950. The project is forecasted to occur over a 24-36 month period with actual construction phased into several phases to maintain services during the remodel. On May 23, 2017,...
