Consulting Services for a Study of the Possible Closure of Providence / Mission Hospital Laguna Beach

The City of Laguna Beach is seeking a qualified consultant (or small multidisciplinary team) to conduct a comprehensive study of the potential closure of Providence Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. The work includes data collection on EMS impacts, navigating California’s hospital‑closure regulatory process, estimating seismic‑retrofit and new‑construction costs, and producing a master‑plan and economic feasibility analysis for alternative uses of the 22‑acre campus. The consultant must deliver a final report with recommendations and be prepared to support the City in stakeholder engagement, regulatory filings, and public communication. • Collect and analyze EMS transport data, hospital admission mix, and other relevant datasets to quantify impacts of a possible ED closure. • Guide the City through California’s hospital‑closure procedures, engaging state and local health agencies on its behalf. • Provide seismic‑safety compliance assessments and cost estimates for retrofitting existing facilities versus building a new, smaller acute‑care hospital. • Develop site master‑plan concepts (e.g., senior housing, medical office, freestanding ED) and conduct economic/financial feasibility studies for each scenario. • Deliver a comprehensive final report, presentations, and ongoing support to City officials, Council, and community stakeholders.
