II. SERVICES SPECIFICATIONS
A. Scope of Work
1. Purpose and Overview
NHCC is in the process of planning, design, and construction of various capital projects and
desires to retain a qualified Program Manager/Construction Manager ("PM/CM") to manage the
delivery of the multi-site Construction Program. It is anticipated that the Construction Program
will be completed by December 2032, with multiple projects being performed concurrently
across Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC), A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility
(AHP), and assigned Community Health Facilities.
The Construction Program is expected to cost approximately $70 million in the first year and
$50 million over subsequent years. NHCC requires the PM/CM to provide comprehensive
consulting, pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phase services to oversee and
safely deliver these combined portfolios.

NHCC demands that all projects be actively managed to:
o Minimize adverse impacts to the ongoing, continuous, and 24/7/365 operational clinical use
of all healthcare and extended care facilities to the greatest extent practicable.
o Minimize construction change orders and claims.
o Promote NHCC's fiscal interests by optimizing operational and environmental efficiencies
across its facility networks.
o Interim Fire Safety Management: Nassau Health Care Corporation also seeks a firm to
provide specialized fire and life safety management services across the NUMC and AHP
campuses in strict accordance with the comprehensive Scope of Work outlined in Exhibit
"FS" of this RFP.
2. Capital Project Portfolio & Dedicated Field Staffing

3. Core Management Lifecycle Activities
The specific management services to be performed by the dedicated field staff are broken down into
the following functional areas across all designated NHCC facility properties to fulfill the
requirements of the project portfolio listed above:
3
• Planning Services: Review the premises and proposed capital improvement plans across all
sites to develop a unified written Program Execution Plan (PEP). The PEP must outline
construction scope, structural budgets, and master logic timelines with stringent
consideration given to safety, active infection control barriers, and the continuous delivery
of patient care.
• Budgeting & Fiscal Controls: Review existing construction cost estimates and establish
project budgets alongside an aggregate program budget. As individual projects progress
across NUMC, AHP, and community locations, the PM/CM will dynamically update cost
accounts to prevent budget overruns and issue corrective alignment strategies when
necessary.
• Pre-Construction Estimates: Prepare two (2) detailed independent construction cost
estimates based on strict quantity take-offs at the 50% Construction Documents (CD) and
100% CD stages for each bid package. The PM/CM will formally reconcile these estimates
with the independent records prepared by the project Architects.
• Program Scheduling: Develop and maintain a master (phase/milestone) Critical Path
Method (CPM) Program Schedule utilizing Primavera P6 (or equivalent) software. Integrate
all contracted constructors' logic networks to monitor concurrent progress, conduct ongoing
delay analyses, and track recovery schedules.
• Cash Flow Forecasting: Formulate and monitor comprehensive cash flow forecast models
for each active project asset and the overall capital program. Projections will be structurally
updated whenever changes alter forecasted milestones or state/federal aid tracking
categories.
• Meeting Administration: Schedule, organize, and lead design coordination,
constructability alignment, and progress review sessions with NHCC project administrators,
technical consultants, and multi-site facility stakeholders. The PM/CM is responsible for
compiling and distributing clear agendas and detailed meeting summaries.
• Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Services: Conduct a formal Project Labor Agreement
(PLA) feasibility assessment to determine if executing a multi-trade project agreement
serves the best economic and logistical interests of NHCC. If viable, lead collective
negotiations with local construction trade unions on behalf of NHCC.
• Construction Document & Constructability Review: Execute thorough constructability,
clarity, and completeness evaluations of design bid packages at both the 50% CD and 100%
CD benchmarks. Collaborate with design professionals to verify that Division 1 (front-end)
parameters cleanly establish boundaries preventing security or healthcare delivery
disruptions.
• Program Administration: Oversee and legally protect NHCC’s contractual interests across
all active architectural, engineering, and construction contracts. This includes assessing
progress data, evaluating change requests, monitoring deliverables, coordinating the
placement of NHCC-furnished equipment, and dedicating full-time, on-site personnel.
• Progress Monitoring: Recognizing that NHCC facilities contain 24/7/365 acute care and
extended nursing environments, closely monitor potentially disruptive tasks. Generate
written daily field reports paired with explicit photographic logs tracking local labor forces,
equipment utilization, and hidden or disputed conditions.
• Information Management: Deploy and manage a centralized, secure web-based project
management information system to log submittals, RFIs, change order packages, and design
changes. Securely store and organize all digital and physical documents for a mandatory
retention period of at least six (6) years post-closeout.
4
• Payment Administration: Audit and cross-verify all contractor schedules of values, regular
invoices, and formal payment applications against verified physical field progress. Ensure
final recommendations to NHCC accounting office’s accurately represent that quality
standards have been fully met.
• Change Management: Evaluate all supplementary bullet packages prior to issuance, map
cost variables, and issue written recommendations delineating the necessity of variations.
Track design errors or omissions independently to safeguard NHCC from unfair financial
liabilities.
• Monthly Reports: Compile and deliver structured monthly progress portfolios to NHCC
leadership by the 10th of each calendar month. Portfolios must include an Executive
Summary, financial variances, budget analysis metrics, log tracking for deficient items, and
schedule milestone health checks.
• Quality Assurance & Closeout: Enforce a rigorous Quality Assurance Program containing
third-party technical testing and controlled inspections. Direct the identification and prompt
correction of architectural punch lists, compile operational and maintenance (O&M)
manuals, gather warranties, and secure necessary Temporary Certificates of Occupancy.
• Procurement Services & A/E Solicitations: Support NHCC's Legal and Purchasing
departments in drafting, advertising, and evaluating Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and
sealed bid packages for both design professionals (A/E) and construction contractors. The
PM/CM shall establish a standardized, streamlined procurement template library (including
scopes of work, qualification matrices, and evaluation scorecards) to accelerate award
timelines. Responsibilities include coordinating pre-bid site walk-throughs, managing the
RFI/addenda clarification process, tabulating competitive proposals, performing
comprehensive commercial bidder responsibility reviews, and advising on optimal phased
procurement or long-lead equipment pre-purchasing strategies to mitigate supply chain
delays.
• Expedited Constructability & Design Coordination Reviews: Execute thorough
constructability, clarity, inter-disciplinary coordination, and completeness evaluations of
design bid packages at the 50% CD and 100% CD benchmarks. The PM/CM must
proactively identify design gaps, spatial conflicts, or ambiguous specifications before
packages are released to the market, minimizing future bidder RFIs and preventing post-
award change orders. Collaborate directly with design professionals to verify that Division 1
(front-end) parameters cleanly establish site logistics, execution sequencing, and boundaries
that prevent clinical or security disruptions.
• Market Outreach & Bid Aggregation: To ensure robust competitive bidding and efficient
project scheduling, the PM/CM shall actively manage local market outreach to cultivate a
strong network of qualified contractors, subcontractors, and New York State certified
M/WBE and SDVOB firms. The PM/CM will conduct pre-solicitation informational
sessions to generate market interest, pre-screen capabilities, and align bidding timelines with
local subcontractor availability, thereby preventing low bidder turnout or inflated "risk-
premium" pricing.
III. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
The Proposer must demonstrate:
a. Minimum five (5) years of experience providing professional Program Management and/or
Construction Management (PM/CM) services.
