4.Budget
4.1.IP&C Redesign Items:
1.Oxygen – Piped to bed headwall vs. dedicated storage rooms vs. limited
storage. The Director of Homesand Seniors Servicesnoted that many homes
are considering piped gas. Typically, 10% of residents require oxygen, but need
is greatly increased during outbreak. Significant capital cost and schedule
impact possible, depending on chosen option.
2.Negative Pressure Bedrooms – One negative pressure bedroom per RHA vs.
portable units vs. built in switch on VFC units. Significant capital cost and
schedule impact possible, depending on chosen option.
3.Dining Capacity – Utilize Activity Room and Lounge, or redesign to provide
additional dining space. Significant capital cost and schedule impact possible,
depending on chosen option.
4.Staff Locker Room – Verify quantity of lockers and available space for PPE.
Look at redesign to allow for no sharing of lockers.
5.Temporary Double Bedroom – Likely doable for short-term (6-8 months) during
renovation (Phase 3).
6.Staff Room
7.Touchless barrier-free accessible door operators – Revised to be included after
11 June 2020 Working Group meeting. Price increase to be nominal.
8.Touchless IR electrical powered faucets – Revised to be included after 11 June
2020 Working Group meeting. Price increase to be nominal.
Steering Committee recommended proceeding with evaluation of redesign items,
without waiting for MLTC feedback or updates to the Design Manual. Steering
Committee requested that Working Group meet to make decisions regarding IP&C
redesign items and present Committee with design recommendations and
implications for budget and schedule.
