REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
Submittal Due Date: Thursday April 25, 2024, prior to 2:00 pm PDT
Design Services Required for Project No. 2024-459: Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health Facility
Modernization for the Department of Social and Health Services.
Scope of Work
This Request for Qualifications is for the purpose of selecting an Architect for Design Services for the
Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health, located at Tukwila, WA.
The Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health facility (OHBH) requires necessary projects to promote the
functionality of their program needs, and to extend the life of multiple building systems. This work
includes expanding the existing Outdoor Recreation areas; repair and replace multiple existing
roofing systems; remove and replace existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems and
controls; improve Medication Rooms on 2-West and 3-West; complete Nurse’s Station
reconfiguration on 2-West and 3-West; install building access control system; modernize 1-North
three-stop elevator; replace existing emergency generator (design only); and renovate existing
Laundry Building to support Maintenane and Operations shop areas (design only).
Description of Facility
The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) newly purchased (summer of
2023) an existing behavioral health facility and estate, located at 12844 Military Road S, Tukwila, WA
98168. The purpose for this purchase of real estate was to establish a new facility in King County for the
treatment of civilly committed and low acuity behavioral health patients. The purchase of an older
building comes with challenges to meet current building and health code requirements for a behavioral
health hospital.
An emergency contract is in effect to bring some portions of the facility up to code which is currently
underway. This new project scope continues that effort with the repair and replacement of much needed
upgrades to this Olympic Heritage Facility.
This project for Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health Facility Modernization will likely be separated into
different design and construction phases to allow for some construction work to begin sooner. DSHS
requests that the selected design team assist with organizing this work into separate design/bid
packages, to best meet the goals and timelines of the facility. Current priority is as follows:
1. Expanding the existing Outdoor Recreation areas to promote large motor activities in a safe and
secure courtyard.
2. Repair and replace multiple roofing systems that are at the end of their life.
3. Remove and replace existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems and controls, to
bring this facility up to complete working order.

4. Improve Medication Rooms on 2-West and 3-West, gaining access to the corridor from this
space. These floors’ patient rooms are occupied, so care must be taken to ensure safety.
5. Complete Nurse’s Station reconfiguration on 2-West and 3-West. These floors’ patient rooms
are occupied, so care must be taken to ensure safety.
6. Install building access control system, both on and off patient wards, as needed.
7. Modernize the 1-South three-stop elevator.
8. Replace existing emergency generator (design only).
9. Renovate existing Laundry Building to support Maintenance and Operations shop areas (design
only).
The preliminary Maximum Allowable Construction Cost (MACC) for this project is $8,700,000.00. This
Project is funded for Design and Construction Services in the 2024 Supplemental Budget. Funding for the
construction of the generator and Laundry Building is expected from the 2025-2027 biennium.
Project Goals for This Project
Provides a unique opportunity to generate a design solution for this newly acquired
behavioral health facility, to create a safe, therapeutic patient environment.
Incorporates sound financial practices to restore an aging facility to meet current building
and health care codes.
Supports transforming behavioral health by transitioning people back into community living.
Meets the Governors goals, and DHS priorities through modernizing the IT infrastructure.
Recognizes the Governor’s goals and the agency’s interest in long-term commitments to
environmental stewardship, through energy efficiency, sustainability, and a clean
environment from reduction of carbon emissions.
Continues to meet DSHS’s long term commitment to their clients in modern facilities
meeting the Governor’s goals.
Submitting firms should have a strong background in innovative design for behavioral health facilities,
an understanding of the joint commission certification process, and experience working within an
occupied behavioral health facility. Knowledge of the newly adopted energy code will allow for the best
selection of roof systems, and the most efficient equipment for the HVAC replacement portion of work.
Firms should also be well versed in multi-phased State agency construction, the State of Washington
capital budget process, planning, life-cycle cost analysis, sustainable design, and the process to achieve
LEED Silver or better certification.
Project-Specific Information
The following information will be made available to the selected firm but will be unavailable during the
selection process.
An existing roof analysis has been completed to assist with prioritizing the sections of roofing
requiring priority of replacement.
Existing drawings are available that locate HVAC equipment.
