Mount Sinai's role as the primary community health care provider mandates that immediate steps be taken to ensure that all services and facilities are secure and stable during disaster events. This initiative will mitigate the effects of future hurricanes and flooding through the following realignment of facilities and infrastructure. Legislative Report Language "The Committee has provided $11,250,000 for emergency power equipment at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Florida." Uses of Federal FY 2010 Funding • Construction • Equipment • Technology Funding History Total Project Cost: $24,000,000 Federal Appropriations to date: $750,000 in FY10 through Department of Homeland Security Total Federal Funding Sought: $11,250,000 2 STORM SURGE EMERGENCY POWER PROTECTION Mount Sinai Medical Center Project Puraose Mount Sinai Medical Center (MSMC), located in Miami Beach, Florida is located on a barrier island, placing this vital community health resource at great risk each hurricane season. Mount Sinai is a 955 bed, not-for-profit, tertiary healthcare facility and Miami Beach's primary community health care provider. It has also been designated as a regional Emergency Command Center (ECC). As such it is mandatory that its facilities, power supply and services are and remain available for use by patients, local law enforcement and first responders during these events. The 2005 Hurricane season underscored the need for Mount Sinai to harden its facilities against the very real possibility of a severe storm occurring at least once each year. Hurricane Katrina caused unprecedented devastation in Louisiana and Mississippi. But the combined impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma were a very serious one-two punch on South Florida, and caused widespread damage at Mount Sinai Medical Center. As part of its hardening initiative, the Medical Center's current emergency power generators must be replaced and a new Centralized Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection facility constructed. This Project will ensure the institution's patient care services and facilities are operable during disaster events, such as recent hurricanes Wilma, Rita, Katrina, Jeanne, Ivan, Frances, and Charley. The Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection Project will save the lives of our patients who depend on equipment and technology that require electricity. The Project includes: 1) Relocate and centralize all emergency power systems in a new above-flood stage, 5-bay facility ensuring emergency generators and other vulnerable equipment are located off flood stage level and available in emergency situations; 2) Expand capacity of emergency power generators that supply power to all patient care areas and critical care units; 3) Create on-site, centralized diesel fuel storage for replenishment and maintenance; and, 4) Irnprove efficiency and redundancy of back-up power system infrastructure increasing the Medical Center's self-sufficiency during extended power outages. This Project is a substantial financial undertaking for Mount Sinai. The total cost for the new Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection facility is over $24 million. Mount Sinai is prepared to contribute $12 million over the course of the next several years towards this project. Given the multifaceted nature of this project, Mount Sinai is seeking federal funding through the Department of Health & Human Services (HRSA) pr the Department of Homeland Security (FEMA, Predisaster Mitigation) to support individual elements of the initiative. As the result of strong and insightful leadership, MSMC has remained financially viable even as the rest of the nation's health care market struggles. Despite that tremendous achievement and an active effort to address the many service and facility needs on its campus, resources are scarce and the Medical Center needs assistance to fund the estimated $200 million in other essential u ades needed through 2012. The creation of a federal funding partnership to support this initiative is critical and justified given Mount Sinai's role in regional emergency response activities, its sole responsibility for acute and emergency 3 healthcare on the Miami Beach Community, and its role as one of only six statutorily designated teaching hospitals in the state of Florida. MOUNT SINAI MEDICAL CENTER Miami Beach, FL Mount Sinai Medical Center, located in Miami Beach, Florida is seeking $12 million over several funding cycles to support the construction and equipping of a new Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection facility. Mount Sinai's role as a regional Emergency Command Center (ECC) and primary community health care provider mandates that immediate steps be taken to ensure that all emergency power functions seamlessly during disaster events. This initiative will save the lives of patients that are dependent on equipment and technology that require electricity: 1) Relocate and centralize all emergency power systems in a new above-flood stage, 5-bay facility ensuring back-up generators and other vulnerable equipment are located off flood stage level and available in emergency situations; 2) Expand capacity of emergency power generators that supply power to all patient care azeas and critical Gaze units; 3) Create on-site, centralized diesel fuel storage for replenishment and maintenance; and, 4) Improve efficiency and redundancy of back-up power system infrastructure increasing the Medical Center's self-sufficiency during extended power outages. The new facility will feature "the latest technology" in redundant and efficient back-up power infrastructure for the highest capacity and reliability. A new 3-story structure including on-site fuel storage will protect emergency power systems to ensure quality patient care can continue during crises and disasters. The latest hurricane season exposed some vulnerability in the facilities during periods of weather-related crisis. Significantly, Mount Sinai's emergency generators are located on the ground level of various patient caze facilities and are insufficient for future growth needs. The threat that this poses is obvious. To mitigate future hurricane, flood or other storm damage, the Medical Center has engaged in a sweeping project to ensure that it can withstand flooding and maintain the appropriate backup generators and medical gas delivery systems to improve the safety of its patients, surgeons and staff. Conditions of E~sting Emergencv Generators The emergency power infrastructure serving the patient care facilities on the Mount Sinai Medical Center campus is comprised of stand-alone emergency generators serving the main patient towers, Elt/Radiology, and Ambulatory Surgery buildings. Emergency generators in the main patient towers and ER/Radiology buildings are at the end of their useful life and in need of immediate replacement. Additionally, replacement parts for these generators and their associated main electrical distribution switchgeaz aze no longer readily available in the market place. Field surveys of the ER/Radiology and Ambulatory Surgery buildings revealed emergency generators that would be nearing the end of their useful life within the next 3 to 5 yeazs. As a result of these findings, it was noted that potential equipment failure associated with these systems was likely in the short term and the Medical Center must consider immediate short-term temporary improvements, as well as a more long-term permanent solution. Patient Care Building Emergency Power Each patient care building currently has one generator in case of a power failure. The main patient towers each have two (2) generators. These six (6) emergency generators and the transfer switches serving the main patient towers, intensive care building, radiology, emergency, and ambulatory surgery buildings aze approaching the end of their useful life. This condition compromises the reliability of the generators and transfer switches greatly increasing the likelihood of an emergency power failure. 4 The generators for the main patient tower alone are approximately 23 years old. In addition, the building's current eleven transfer switches, required by code for a hospital system, aze similarly aged. These power transfer switches aze critical to the back-up power infrastructure because once equipment becomes this old they are very difficult to maintain and test; the risk of failure is also greatly increased and grows over time. The synchronizing switch geaz electrical distribution equipment used to connect multiple generators, as in the main patient tower, so that they work in tandem to provide additional power and redundancy, aze in poor working condition and replacement parts are not readily available from local suppliers. While one of the patient towers has a backup generator, it has no synchronizing switchgeaz to connect them and therefore the transfer of power in case of one generator's failure must be accomplished manually. Additional issues that compromise the system include that electrical distribution downstream of existing generators does not meet current code and non-essential loads are co-mingled with critical loads, which inhibits the hospital's ability to properly shed power loads when necessary. Cooling towers and air handling equipment aze also not currently supported by emergency generators. Finally, the physical location of these emergency generators and transfer switches creates an additional danger. The two emergency generators and transfer switches serving one patient tower and the intensive caze building aze at ground level and therefore endangered by potential storm surge. The goal of replacing generators and transfer switches will be to improve overall system capacity, reliability and redundancy, compliance with hospital code, mitigate vulnerability to storm surge and provide cooling capability for patient care areas. The project will also create consolidated generator facility which can be expanded to include capacity for all patient buildings and Energy Center. It is essential to elevate the back-up power generators to above flood level to mitigate potential future hurricane, flood or other storm damage. Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection Plant The best disaster mitigation solution for Mount Sinai Medical Center is the creation of a centralized emergency power plant to be located adjacent to the existing central energy plant. By consolidating all new emergency generation equipment in one location, the hospital would benefit from a more redundant and efficient infrastructure serving the campus. The centralized concept would permit on-site diesel fuel storage to be located in one location for replenishment and maintenance. Serviceability, maintenance, and testing of the equipment would be simplified as a result of the major equipment being centrally located. Additionally, exhaust emissions and system noise levels could be better treated without the close proximity of outside air intakes and patient care areas. The Storm Surge Emergency Power Protection Project is a capital improvement project that upgrades the existing emergency power infrastructure serving these buildings to improve the overall system reliability and capacity. The new system increases the Medical Center's capability to be self-sufficient during extended power outages. The physical design of the new centralized power plant reflects the best thinking available regazding the proper physical environment in which to ensure optimal automatic emergency power transfer for the entire campus. The new facility will include dedicated transfer switches to each of the following hospital- wide power system branches: 1) Life Safety Systems: emergency egress, alarm systems, medical gasses 5 2) Critical Caze Systems: OR, procedure rooms, ED imaging equipment, medical gas booms and columns and selected lighting and receptacles deemed critical to Hospital operations to perform procedures. 3) Equipment: motor loads, mechanical equipment to maintain pressurization, elevators, motors/pumps serving azeas that must continue to function such as ventilation, exhaust fans for isolation rooms or for immuno-suppressed patients. 4) Non-Essential Systems: not code required, but desirable to institution to provide or maintain normal operation. This branch is designed to be easily disconnected if needed. The project consists of selective site demolition and new construction of a second story building mounted on a reinforced concrete frame open to the sides for expansion of the existing Central Energy Plant. It will be constructed over the yazd at the back of the existing the Energy Center Building and in between the Incinerator Building at the Western side and the access road on the Eastern side. Also selective demolition and construction of a new Fuel Farm including (4) four aboveground fuel oil tanks of 12,000 gallons capacity each mounted on a concrete pad and protected by a concrete wall. The building's second story will comprise two large rooms separated by a chase space within two demising CMU walls without openings. Each sepazate room will be accessed by separate stairs. The area occupied by the generators will have ventilation and an exhaust system of proper capacity to expel the toxic gases far away from the building. The azea occupied by the parallel switchgeaz will be air-conditioned for optimal maintenance and operability. The total additional two story azea will be approximately 125' x 64' equal to 8,000 s.f., plus two stairs at 300 s.f. each for a total of 8,600 s.f. The Electrical Substations will be housed in specially renovated rooms located inside the existing facilities. The total squaze footage of renovated room areas for the Double Loaded Substation is 11,000 s.f. Implementation of the centralized emergency power project plan concept is a multiyeaz capital expenditure project with a construction budget of approximately $24,303,000. The preliminary project schedule commences with design and pernutting/approvals in the first yeaz, followed by three yeazs of construction including site preparation and development, building shell and foundation, and fmal build out. At the conclusion of this capital project, the existing emergency generators serving the patient care facilities would be decommissioned and removed. The new emergency power generation plant will have sufficient capacity to serve future patient care expansions, as well as the capability to provide emergency backup power to building ventilation and cooling systems. Importantly, the new facility will be designed to accommodate future expansion, including the requirements of Mount Sinai's Surgical Tower. Goals / Cure problems associated with emergency power generators that have inadequate capacity and that aze currently located below flood-level. / Providing uninterrupted service before, during and after a disaster. / Maintaining the community's access to resources in a disaster, both surgical and medical.

Since its beginnings, the Medical Center is a critical and respected partner in the regional economic and health care infrastructure. Its mission is to ,provide high quality health care to its diverse community enhanced through teaching, reseazch, charity care and financial responsibility. The institution is also the City's primary community provider and the designated command center for Miami Beach in the event of any mass casualty, terror or natural disaster. EMERGENCY SERVICES More than 41,600 patients received emergency medical Gaze at Mount Sinai Medical Center in 2006, a more than 21% increase over 2005. The Medical Center's emergency department is the only available emergency department located in the City of Miami Beach and is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. Mount Sinai is also the Emergency Command Center for Miami Beach. In the event of a disaster, city officials, police, fire and emergency personnel may work from the command center where essential communications can be maintained through a sophisticated telecommunication and computer network. As the primary community health-caze provider for Miami Beach, Mount Sinai Medical Center serves as a "safety-net" for the community. Mount Sinai provides specialty and subspecialty coverage in more than 60 azeas. The depth and breadth of Mount Sinai services provide the community with significant medical coverage and comprehensive care options. While many hospitals in the state of Florida have dropped their obstetrics services, neurosurgical services, and/or other high cost services, Mount Sinai is committed to providing care for its community. SERVICE AREA The Medical Center primary service area includes Miami Beach, Bal Harbour and Surfside in Miami- Dade County. Its secondary service area includes portions of Miami, North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles and Aventura. The Medical Center's tertiary service includes the remaining portions of Miami-Dade County and south Browazd County. Also, as a tourist community and gateway to the Americas, Mount Sinai provides services for a worldwide clientele. Miami Beach is a diverse community home to a large Hispanic, Russian and Caribbean population. ECONOMIC IMPACT Mount Sinai Medical Center is the largest private, not-for-profit teaching hospital in Florida. As such it has a significant impact on economic stability of its community. As the largest employer in Miami Beach, Mount Sinai is home to more than 700 physicians, 3,000 employees and 400 volunteers. In 2006, the Medical Center paid more than $199 million in salaries, wages and capital investments and approximately $5 million in taxes. In total, through taxes paid, salaries, wages, benefits, capital investments and charitable and uncompensated care, Mount Sinai returned more than $267 million to the community. Despite being located in a diverse bedroom community with a solid economic status, Mount Sinai Medical Center routinely provides ample amounts of care to uninsured and underinsured patients. In fact, in 2006 Mount Sinai provided nearly $50 million in charitable and uncompensated care. In addition, as the sole provider of labor and delivery services on Miami Beach, its obstetrical program lost an estimated $2.8 million in 2007 providing services to those who need them but who cannot afford to pay. In 2007, Mount Sinai's payor base was 7.6 percent Medicaid, 42.4 percent Medicare, 41.7 percent Managed Care and 8.4 percent other. 9 COMMUI•TITY BENEFTT Mount Sinai gives back to the community through a wide array of programs and services. The Medical Center sponsors free health screenings for conditions such as cholesterol and blood pressure at local churches and community events and participates in health fairs. Additionally, Mount Sinai is continuously building and improving its relationships with a multitude of local institutions including senior centers, churches and schools. It also makes use of local media to improve the community's knowledge of access to comprehensive health Gaze available at Mount Sinai. In 2007, Mount Sinai sponsored support groups served over 4,600 participants. Community benefit programs include: • Geriatric House Call Program • Emergency Command Center • Patient Assistance Program • Support Groups (Alzheimer's Disease, Bereavement, Cancer, Rehabilitation) Mount Sinai, as the result of strong and insightful leadership has remained financially viable even as the rest of the nation's health care market struggles. Despite that tremendous achievement and an active effort to address the many service and facility needs on its campus, resources are scazce and the Medical Center cannot possibly fund the estimated $200 million in essential upgrades needed through 2010. Therefore, the Medical Center is seeking to establish apublic/private partnership to support the construction and equipping of a new Surgical Tower that will upgrade aged operating rooms, integrate a comprehensive Clinical Inforrnation System and upgrade its emergency power. 10 Damage to Mount Sinai Medical Center as a direct result of Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, during 2005: ~,li~ ,:<' ;* vet v+r.a • .. -.
