1307 Kinnear Rd-S166 Research Lab Renovations

Project number: OSU-270017
The College of Engineering is seeking to renovate Room S166 at 1305 Kinnear Rd Research Center. This project will include planning, design, and execution of the renovation needed to support battery technology research. Depending on space requirements, modifications to adjacent rooms may be necessary. The project will provide laboratory infrastructure capable of supporting synthesis, characterization, cell assembly, electrochemical testing, and computational research activities. The project will provide the appropriate utility infrastructure including electrical, mechanical, process gas, exhaust ventilation, and environmental controls. The research program focuses on next-generation battery technologies, including: • Advanced electrolyte materials • Interfacial chemistry • Energy storage systems • Battery characterization and testing • Artificial intelligence-driven materials discovery and optimization
Scope of Services: Pursuant to ORC 153.694, professional design firms selected to provide C-A/E services shall not provide any A/E of Record services for the project for which the professional design firm was selected as the C-A/E. The project shall follow the applicable University Sustainability Standards. https://fod.osu.edu/sites/default/files/div_18.pdf. For projects advertised with an appropriately developed Program of Requirements (“POR”), upon award of the Agreement, commence with Design. For projects without such a POR, upon award of the Agreement, commence by developing the Program of Requirements. The selected Criteria Architect/Engineer (“C-A/E”), as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposals, will discuss and clarify with the Owner/Contracting Authority, the cost breakdown of the Architect/Engineer Agreement detailed cost components to address the Owner’s project requirements. Participate in the Encouraging Growth, Diversity & Equity (“EDGE”) Program as required by statute and the Agreement. As required by the Agreement, and as properly authorized, provide the following categories of services: Concept and Design Criteria, Best Value Selection, Preconstruction, Construction and Closeout, and Additional Services of all types including Schematic Design and Design Development. Refer to the Ohio Facilities Construction Manual for additional information about the type and extent of services required for each. A copy of the standard Agreement can be obtained at the OFCC website at https://ofcc.ohio.gov. The project team (Owner / C-A/E / DB) will be required to utilize the University’s Project Management System, for all compatible services required by the University. The Ohio State University is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for students, patients, staff, visitors, and contractors. While not exclusive, guidelines governing safety expectations for construction/ renovation projects within Ohio State buildings are set forth in the Building Design Standards Appendix V and are summarized here: https://fod.osu.edu/resources, under the section titled “Construction Site Safety Requirements.” For purposes of completing the Relevant Project Experience Matrix in Section F of the Statement of Qualifications (Form F110-330), below is a list of relevant scope of work requirements for this RFQ: 1. Battery or energy storage lab design and construction knowledge 2. Experience with environmental and hazardous material requirements for lab research 3. Laboratory exhaust and fume hood understanding 4. Knowledge of process gas distribution systems For the purpose of the selection of 10 Relevant Projects in Section F of the Statement of Qualification (Form F110-330), projects must be designed by the Lead Firm.
