Port Townsend, Wash.-based Jefferson Healthcare has put its $22 million emergency and specialty services building project out to bid, according to a Port Townsend Leader report.
Potential bidders will have to attend a mandatory pre-bid conference Jan. 8 before bids are officially opened and read aloud later this month.
Two companies — Graham Construction of Seattle and Precast of Boise, Idaho — have already expressed interest in the project, which would include a new three-story, 45,842-square-foot hospital-grade section, a remodel of some older portions of existing buildings and the demolition of a building that was constructed in 1929, according to the report.
The expansion would allow the hospital to grow its anti-coagulation clinic, oncology and chemotherapy services, infusion center for IV antibiotics, pain management and wound center, orthopedics and other outpatient services.
Additionally, the new emergency and specialty services building would house an emergency room, diagnostic imaging center, sleep medicine services and central registration area.
