RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee receive a report on Natividad Medical Center's key capital projects as of December 31, 2020.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

The Facilities and Construction Department staff administers capital projects focused on strategically upgrading the hospital by reconfiguring and remodeling the campus to better accommodate healthcare services.

The Diagnostic Imaging Department requires a complete remodel and modernization. Modernization 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 modernizing the Imaging Department. Phase 2 includes adding two CT scanners, an MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Angiography Equipment, and a Hemodynamic System. On July 10, 2018, the Board of Supervisors awarded the project to Otto Construction in the amount of $12,947,000 and approved to increase the construction project cost to $18,373,080. The total project cost, which includes design, construction, and equipment, equals $24,621,331.
NMC is in the construction stage of modernizing the Radiology Department on the first floor of Building 500. The Radiology Department is adding two new Computerized Tomography (CT) scanners, a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as well as creating an Angiography hybrid suite for Interventional Radiology (IR).
The construction was originally forecasted to occur over a 24-month period, with construction occurring into 4 phases to maintain services during the remodel. Construct...
