One highlight of this contract was ARIA Health System receiving the highest marks for critical facility and life safety systems from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Accreditation Survey. Grant proactively initiated and lead an aggressive eight-week facility improvement program that started with systematically inspecting life safety systems, including fire stopping, door closures, egress, electrical, HVAC, and air balancing. Grant identified nearly 150 preventive and corrective measures to be implemented. Our firm self-performed or managed all the improvements.
Another major accomplishment saw Grant seamlessly provide project and construction management services for significant renovations to the intensive care unit and co-generation plant at the Torresdale facility. Grant oversaw design consultants and contractors and provided on-site construction management and administration.
Other achievements included Grant developing standardized policies and procedures for the maintenance departments, streamlining the access permit process for outside contractors and consultants, and tailoring specific policies for each operating unit as needed.
