ALTERATIONS AND RENOVATIONS

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 拟议的改建和翻修费用在NIH INBRE和南加州大学工程和计算学院之间分配。 作为2010年4月NIH现场访视的一部分，向Michael塞尔博士和Fred Taylor博士提交了以下计划。 最初的A&R计划描述了Swearingen工程大楼实验室的翻新。正如在实地考察期间所解释的那样，学院已经确定卡托巴街的附属建筑是生物医学工程实验室的上级地点。现场视察队视察了卡托巴附属建筑，并核准了这一地点和总计划。 计划和估计是由跳线，卡特，Sease建筑师事务所在与目前的生物医学工程研究人员，南加州大学健康和安全几次会议后制定的 官员，南加州大学设施管理，代理院长，和博士迈克尔马修斯（领导南加州大学教师为A&R，主席，化学工程系）。该小组访问了实际地点，并审查了现有的建筑和结构图纸。 该项目的总成本将超过A&R要求，学院院长已承诺提供所需的余额。南卡罗来纳州的采购和项目系统要求该成本的项目由大学董事会（BOT）批准。这一项目计划列入2010年9月（实地访问后第一个可用日期）举行的下次会议的议程。在进行详细的工程和建筑设计之前， 制图.经受托人批准后，该项目将进行投标，预计投标将于2010年12月完成。到那时，项目的成本将得到更全面的界定。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The proposed Alterations & Renovations Costs are allocated between NIH INBRE and USC College of Engineering and Computing support. The following plan was presented to Dr. Michael Sayre and Dr. Fred Taylor as a part of the NIH Site Visit in April 2010. The original A&R plan described renovations of laboratories in the Swearingen Engineering building. As explained during the site visit, the college has determined that the Catawba Street annex is a superior location for the biomedical engineering labs. The Site Visit Team visited the Catawba annex and approved of this location and general plans. Plans and estimates were developed by the Jumper, Carter, Sease Architects firm after several meetings with current biomedical engineering researchers, USC Health and Safety officers, USC Facilities Management, the Acting Dean, and Dr. Michael Matthews (lead USC faculty for A&R, and Chair, Department of Chemical Engineering). This team visited the actual site and also reviewed existing architectural and structural drawings. The total cost of the project will exceed the A&R request, and the Dean of the College has committed to providing the balance required. South Carolina's procurement and project system requires that projects of this cost be approved by the University's Board ofTrustees (BOT). This project is scheduled to be on the agenda for their next meeting, in September 2010 (the first available date after the site visit). BOT approval is required before proceeding with detailed engineering and architectural drawings. After Trustees approval, the project will go out for bids and bids are expected to be finalized by December 2010. At that time the cost of the project will be more completely defined.
