Project Description:Kleinfelder was selected to provide inspector of record services for the Los Angeles County + USC Medical Center Replacement Project. In addition to inspection services, Kleinfelder has been providing quality assurance services. A project master plan for the medical center was completed in June 1998 and the project is currently in construction. The new complex will replace four existing hospital facilities on campus to provide a new tertiary-level medical center totaling approximately 1,500,000 square feet. The replacement project is composed of four distinct building components including a 600-bed inpatient tower, base isolated diagnostic/treatment facility, specialty outpatient clinic building and central plant. In addition, site preparation projects include the demolition of six existing buildings, utility relocations, hazardous materials removal, move transition and occupant relocations. This is one of Kleinfelder's largest projects in California with fees over $5 million to date and $1 million in backlog remaining. In addition, the State of California Hospital Seismic Upgrade Program requires multi-million dollar hospital seismic upgrade projects. These upgrades are being performed under the stringent building guidelines of the OSHPD. Specialized OSHPD certification is required for our inspectors.
