SUBCONTRACTOR PROGRAM
Subcontractor/Vendor Project Qualification Procedure
Subcontractor approval is based upon a Contractors Qualification Statement, current financial
statement, project list with dollar amounts, current references, and a copy of their company’s quality
program. Upon receipt, the subcontractor information is reviewed for approval by the DeMaria
Subcontractor/Vendor Alliance Team (SVAT).
Reviewing Subcontractor/Vendor Performance
Performance evaluations of subs and vendors are conducted during a post project review meeting.
Any ratings below 2.0 will remove a subcontractor or vendor from DeMaria’s internal list and
disqualifies them from bidding any future DeMaria projects until a corrective action plan is
submitted and approved by our internal Subcontractor/Vendor Alliance Team.
Subcontractor Surveys
Feedback from subcontractors is essential for capitalizing upon synergies gained in the field and

Architect/Engineer:
Completion Date:
Delivery:
Size:
% Complete:
Through the addition of 25 new treatment bays, Henry
Ford Hospital now has space to accommodate 80 to 100
emergency room patients per day. Hospital staff can
better care for patients and also be respectful of their
privacy within a more efficient patient flow. The
expansion increased bed capacity, reconfigured the
nurses' monitoring stations, and improved the walk-in
entrance, registration and patient waiting areas.
It was not a simple building addition. The project was
built in a small courtyard flanked on all sides by six
stories of the existing hospital housing patient beds,
surgery and the existing ER. Access was restricted to
one point immediately adjacent to the ER entrance
requiring continuous coordination with the Hospital.
Underground site conditions were unknown since
existing utilities dated back 100 years and there were
no accurate as-built drawings. During excavation, prior
to placing foundations (which DeMaria assisted in the
design of), the State Inspector commented that no other
Construction Manager could have completed this as
successfully as DeMaria did.
The Department of Emergency Medicine remained
operational during construction and was completed
in five (5) phases. Included in these phases were the
renovation of existing areas within the DEM.

DeMaria recently completed the Louis Stokes VA
Medical Center project in Cleveland, OH. The project is
an 8-story, 268,000 sf bed tower addition at the existing
Medical Center.
The new addition included cast-in-place concrete
construction of 8 levels with a structural steel
mechanical penthouse. The new bed tower includes
265 beds that will provide services for Blind
Rehabilitation, Spinal Care Injury, Skilled Rehab,

Health which includes Acute Psychiatric Care.
The project scope included new mechanical, plumbing,
electrical, fire alarm, fire suppression, telephone/data,
security, nurse call, medical gas, elevators, as well as
medical and kitchen equipment. All new MEP systems
had to be tied into the existing hospital during
scheduled off hour shut downs.
The project also included 725 sf of renovation work
within the existing facility. The renovation work
required for this new addition occurs in multiple
locations on each floor. Renovation work on each floor
included demolition of existing rooms to provide new
corridors, updated architectural finish work, as well as
MEP tie-ins and connections.

Completion Date:
Delivery:
Size:
% Complete:
DeMaria recently completed the OR Surgery Expansion
for Henry Ford Health System. The project involved
the renovation of the 4th floor of the Eleanor Clara Ford
Pavilion, OR Surgery Unit located on the downtown
Detroit Campus.
The scope of the renovation involved the build out of
three (3) new ORs in existing shell space on the fourth
floor of the ECFP and build out a third OR outside the
current shell space. This work involved also renovating
several areas within the current active OR suite.
Challenges:
Extensive coordination with the OR and Hospital staff
required to assure that normal daily operations were
not disrupted in any way
All materials needed to be pre-scheduled and
coordinated in advance
Rerouting the existing utilities currently feeding the
West Clinic fifth and sixth floors, which required a
team approach with a deep understanding of the
proper processes and coordination ability that is
necessary for a utility system relocation of this
magnitude
I-2 Dialysis Renovation
Detroit MI,
Cost:

Architect/Engineer:
Completion Date:
Delivery:
Size:
% Complete:
The I-2 Dialysis Renovation project consisted of a
complete demolition phase- down to the existing
concrete structure, and a total rebuild phase of the
space to a state-of-the-art dialysis treatment facility.
The existing utility infrastructure had to be upgraded
as well to accommodate the demands of the proposed
I-2 Dialysis department along with the future growth of
the existing building itself.
A new 25,000 CFM AHU was strategically installed in
a lower level interior mechanical space, which was
designed to support not only the new I-2 Dialysis wing,
but also several other occupied areas throughout the
building. In addition to this new mechanical system, a
dialysis treatment system was installed to process and
handle the additional patient care load that was being
planned for by the hospital. A new power system was
also installed throughout six floors of the occupied
building, ultimately upgrading the entire facility to
today's standards of normal and emergency power
requirements. The project required around the clock
coordination with subcontractors, owners, and hospital
staff in order to minimize the overall impact of the
renovation and utility upgrades throughout the
occupied facility. Not only was the existing dialysis
department deeply involved with the project, but the
1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th floor departments were also
immensely involved to minimize the impact of
construction during the renovation of the building.

4th Floor MRI
Detroit MI,
Cost:
Type:
Architect/Engineer:
Completion Date:
Delivery:
Size:
% Complete:
DeMaria completed a new state-of-the-art
intraoperative MRI (iMRI) project that is the first of it's
kind in Michigan. It is located directly in the center of
the OR Department, surrounded by various active
OR's, and will be utilized in conjunction with
a neurology OR to perform groundbreaking
procedures.
In 2008, Henry Ford approached DeMaria with a
challenge of how to install a new 1.5T MRI on the
fourth floor. This challenge was unique because there
were no possible options of delivering the MRI through
the Hospital's elevator and corridor system. In
response, DeMaria developed a plan that not only
utilized a unique roof opening for the installment, but
also incorporated new space for an additional OR.
The iMRI was designed to an OR standard and
includes custom OR ceilings, floors, and wall finishes—
which, when combined with an MRI, generates a great
amount of noise level. The IMEDCO silent shield
design and room shielding system helped reduce the
noise level tremendously. In addition to addressing the
noise, the room's mechanical and electrical
requirements for the iMRI was upgraded, requiring a
dedicated circuit, fed from the basement of the hospital.
Maximum coordination efforts and adherence to
infectious control policies were extremely critical
during this project.

DeMaria completed the Family Medical Center of
Michigan Addition and Expansion project, which
included an addition of a new, two-story building,
along with renovating 7,000 square feet of the existing
facility. The new 18,000 square foot building consists of
25 new patient exam rooms with appropriate clinical
back up area, administration space, and dental space.
The new building incorporated a geothermal system
for heating and cooling. Water is run through the 9,600
lineal feet of tubing underneath the ground to the
building through a pipe manifold in the mechanical
room. Once the water is inside the building, it is
distributed throughout the structure through a tubing
system to one of the 22 heat pumps located in strategic
spots above the ceilings. Depending on whether the
occupants of the building choose heating or cooling,
the heat pumps will either remove heat from the air
and transfer it to the water in the tubing system to cool
the building, or it will remove the cool air from the
building and transfer it to the water in the tubing to
add heat to the building. The additional cost of the
geothermal portion of the project is expected to pay
itself off in five to seven years— at which time the
Owner will have no heating or cooling bills to pay.

Size:
% Complete:
DeMaria has been hired by the US Army Corps of
Engineers to replace and convert the steam distribution
system at the Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center,
Saginaw, Michigan. It will include the conversion and
retrofitting of eight (8) buildings from a central, high
pressure steam generation and distribution system into
a hot water heating distribution system.
The work will include construction of three new hot
water boiler plants around the campus to re-feed eight
buildings with heating hot water instead of high
pressure steam. The main boiler plant will consist of
the construction of a 2 story brick masonry building
with a basement and would be supported by a
structural steel frame.
The second and third boiler plant locations will be
within the basements of two existing buildings. In
addition, the project requires demolition of existing
distribution lines and equipment in the existing boiler
plant. The work will be completed in phases in order to
maintain heating service to all buildings and minimize
disruption of hospital operations throughout the
construction process.

DeMaria has transformed the 2nd floor of the Old
Education Building into the Henry Ford Hospital
Innovation Institute - a unique meeting space where
bright minds representing various disciplines can be
brought together to envision the future of medicine.
Originally an auditorium, the space served as a
gymnasium in more recent years. The open floor plan
lends itself well to the unique type of meeting space
developed by the project team, which includes a
transparent “think tank” near the center of the room.
Support spaces, including small meeting areas with a
variety of configurations to support different ways of
thinking, can also be found on the main floor. The
existing stage and balcony areas were refinished and
are now utilized in the new meeting space.
The project team was striving to create a “wow factor”
that can serve as inspiration for everyone who enters
the space. Much of this was achieved by the majestic
architecture of the 1920s structure itself, which features
a grand staircase leading to the 2nd floor. The entire
space was restored and complemented with more
contemporary design elements that bestows a timeless
quality of the finished product. One of the project's
highlights is a new wood-ribbed ceiling that exposes
some of the structure of the original barrel vault.

DeMaria transformed the entire original VA medical
tower built in 1950 into a modern, 21st century
treatment and diagnostic center.
All floors were occupied. Phasing, worksite cleanliness
and segregating the building from occupants was
critical. Demolition was completed using bobcats and
hydraulic breakers with scrubbers on the exhausts.
Much pre-planning and tracing out of all utilities was
put forth in order to keep uninterrupted service to the
basement and 8th and 9th floors which could not
experience power shutdown during construction.
DeMaria partnered with a consultant to decommission
fume hoods and associated ductwork due to the
presence of toxic chemicals used within the lab. The
ductwork had been determined to be volatile and could
explode during demolition and removal. This work
was accomplished during off hours to minimize risk.
Upgrading the ventilation, HVAC, and electrical
systems were also a large part of the scope. The 4th
floor was transformed into a mechanical and electrical
floor with modern plumbing, HVAC equipment,
