Project number OSU-265802 involves the comprehensive update of the ventilation system for explosion proof room D404 at 680 Ackerman Road for The Ohio State University. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of existing exhaust equipment, ductwork, and roof curbs, as well as the installation of new stainless steel exhaust piping with fire tape and the addition of snorkel type exhaust vents. The project requires modifying and flashing the roofing system, rerouting electrical conduits and wiring, and managing the removal and reinstallation of ceiling grids. To maintain laboratory operations, the selected Design-Builder must provide a temporary explosion proof storage solution for relocated materials and implement infection control measures, including HEPA carts and protective barriers. The project will be executed using a Design-Build delivery method and must adhere to the Ohio State University BIM Project Delivery Standards, requiring expertise in model authoring, clash prevention, and asset tagging. The selected firm will manage all phases from preconstruction and schematic design to construction and closeout, utilizing an open book pricing method for subcontracts. All work must comply with state of Ohio prevailing wage rates, University Sustainability Standards, and Wexner Medical Center policies. Deliverables include a BIM Execution Plan, Design Intent BIMs, and final asset worksheets, with closeout managed through the e-Builder Project Management System.

Project number: OSU-265802
Update existing ventilation system for explosion proof room D404 at 680 Ackerman Road. This project will remove existing exhaust equipment/duct, and existing roof curb. Procure new exhaust equipment, modify roofing as needed to install new exhaust equipment/duct and curb, flash in and maintain roofing system. Remove and replace duct servicing D404 space and include additional “snorkel like type” of exhaust vents in the room. Laboratory operations will be maintained during this project using a temporary explosion proof storage solution that will need to be supplied by the project. Provide permitted drawings from The State of Ohio. Provide infection control measures and protective barriers (HEPA cart/machine). Provide labor, materials, and equipment to complete the layout and installation of new stainless steel exhaust pipe for room D404 with fire tape. Provide labor, materials, and equipment to complete the installation of new exhaust equipment with new support rails and guide wires located on the roof. Provide labor, materials and equipment to complete the disconnection of existing electrical power to exhaust equipment located on the roof, rework electrical components to re-route conduit and pull new wire for new exhaust equipment, land and terminate in electrical panel. Provide labor, materials, and equipment to complete the disconnection and removal of existing exhaust equipment, stainless steel duct materials, and any associated accessories. Provide labor, materials and equipment to remove existing exhaust equipment curb, modify roofing as needed to install new exhaust equipment/duct curb, install new equipment curb, flash in and maintain roofing system. Provide labor, materials, and equipment to complete the removal and reinstallation of existing ceiling grid as needed to complete the installation of new duct materials. The work will be completed during normal working hours and will need to be coordinated with onsite staff to ensure limited disruptions to their ongoing operations. Room D404 will need to be emptied for the project to take place, which will require relocation of existing materials outside the space in a rated flammable hazardous explosion storage container to allow for the installation of ventilation materials. If the work needs to shift to after hours or weekends, then the work will need to be re- evaluated for the shift change. The Program of Requirements (“POR”) has been developed, as a part of this project by the Criteria Architect/Engineer (“Criteria A/E”), Karpinski Engineering. All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner’s policies and procedures. This project is required to be designed and delivered within a collaborative BIM-enabled environment following The Ohio State University BIM Project Delivery Standards. The Primary firm submitting for the project will be required to have the BIM expertise capable of meeting the aforementioned standards. The Ohio State University BIM Project Delivery Standards can be accessed via the OSU FOD website: BIM Project Delivery Standards. The minimum required BIM Use Cases for this project are noted below.
