“This project received $17.33M in 2011 budget authority to begin project planning with a total estimated cost of $208.6M, of which $2M in non-construction cost for niche covers is requested in the Compensation and Pension appropriation.

“This project will construct an Outpatient Clinic (OPC), a Columbarium, administrative space for NCA and VBA and all associated parking on BRAC property at Alameda Point (former Naval Air Station) in Northern Alameda County.

“VA plans to pursue acquiring the land for this project through a no cost land transfer from the Department of Defense currently scheduled for December 2012.

“This new, state-of-the-art OPC and administrative space will be approximately 150,000 GSF and provide Primary Care, Specialty Care, Ancillary Services, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, and Ambulatory Surgery.”

“The 2011 Budget Submission included a major project prospectus for a VHA Outpatient Clinic (OPC) to be constructed on a BRAC property at Alameda Point in Northern Alameda County.

“This project would also support an existing VA/DoD Joint Venture that will create space for a US Air Force satellite primary care clinic and a jointly staffed VA/DoD Joint Ambulatory Surgical Center.”
