Brown Hall Lower Level Faculty Office

Project number: CTI-260065
Brown Hall Lower-Level Faculty Offices Columbus State Community College (the “College”) is renovating approximately 10,500 square feet of the lower level of Brown Hall, converting existing faculty office space and former locker rooms into a modernized suite of faculty offices and support space. The area is not currently in use and will serve primarily as swing space, so programming with academic departments will be minimal or none. The program includes private and shared faculty offices, workstations, conference rooms, pantry space, and new restrooms. The work will take place in an occupied academic building. Independent access to the adjacent Old Fitness Center must be maintained throughout construction, and ADA accessible entry, egress, and vertical circulation must be addressed. Existing conditions, including load bearing walls, plumbing, network infrastructure, and electrical switchgear, will be evaluated early in design to confirm reuse, with constructability, cost, and schedule input from the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR). Lower-level deferred maintenance work at the lower level may include, but is not limited to, relocation of electrical switchgear and distribution, replacement of original pneumatic controls, replacement of the boilers, and evaluation of the domestic water pump and lower-level air handling unit. IT closet capacity may be reviewed, and security cameras and access control to be updated within the area of work. Final scope will be determined through owner direction and engineer review and is subject to change. Exterior work is included as needed for construction access and ADA compliant entry and egress. The Architect/Engineer (“A/E”) will also design vertical accessibility improvements for this project. A new elevator is planned for the building, and the scope of this project includes the elevator infrastructure, specifically the pit and hydraulic shaft up to the bottom of Level 1. Supplemental CMR Scope: In addition to the services described in Section B, the CMR shall purchase, furnish, and install the following: furniture, equipment, security, appliances, and signage. The CMR shall also provide commissioning services for the Project, including engaging the commissioning agent and coordinating commissioning activities with the A/E, the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, and all subcontractors. The College is funding this renovation with bond proceeds from Issue 21, and the work is anticipated to be complete before the Summer 2028 semester. Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract. 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.
Scope of Services: The selected Construction Manager at Risk (“CMR”), as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposal, will discuss and clarify with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, the breakdown of the Agreement detailed cost components, to address the Owner’s project requirements and refine the project schedule. Participate in the Encouraging Diversity, Growth & 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: provide constructability review comments on documents produced by the A/E during the Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document stages; develop and maintain estimates of probable construction cost, value engineering, project schedules, and construction schedules; lead and manage the Subcontractor Prequalification and Bidding process, Construction and Closeout Stage. 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 will comply with the State of Ohio BIM Standard (OHIOBIMS) for Building Information Modeling. The Delivery Team shall plan, produce, and deliver all BIM models and data in conformance with OHIOBIMS and the associated templates and guidelines. The BIM Execution Plan shall define the BIM Uses in accordance to the OHIOBIMS BIM Use Definitions including: 1) establish project requirements, 2) design authoring, 3) design coordination, 4) design review, 5) coordination of design & construction, 6) compile record models, and 7) manage essential assets. The preconstruction and construction services are generally described below. Subcontracts including but not limited to Plumbing, Fire Protection, HVAC, Electrical and AV/Technology will be awarded by the CM to prequalified vendors using a competitive process. The parties will engage in an “open book” pricing method in which all subcontracted work shall be based upon competitive pricing that will be reviewed by the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, the A/E and the CM. The Contracting Authority and/or Owner shall have access to all books, records, documents and other data in the CM's possession related to itself, its subcontractors and material suppliers pertaining to bidding, pricing or performance of the Agreement. Preconstruction Services: The CM will work cooperatively with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, A/E, and Project Team, and will provide, among other services, schedule development, estimate development, Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) proposal, subcontractor prequalification and bidding, constructability review, permits, budgeting, value engineering, and preconstruction planning throughout the preconstruction stages. When the drawings and specifications are at the stage of completion specified in the Agreement, such partially completed documents (the “Basis Documents”) shall be provided to the CM, together with the A/E's detailed listing of any incomplete design elements and the A/E’s statement of intended scope with respect to such incomplete elements (the “Design Intent Statement”). Contingent upon the Contracting Authority’s approval of the GMP, the parties will enter into an amendment to the Agreement establishing the Contract Sum (“GMP Amendment”). If the proposed Contract Sum exceeds the Project Budget established for construction, then the Contracting Authority may terminate the agreement with the CM and seek proposals from other firms for completion of the Project. Construction Services: The CM shall construct the Project pursuant to the construction documents and in accordance with the schedule requirements. The CM shall hold all subcontracts and shall be fully responsible for the means and methods of construction, project safety, project completion within the schedule agreed upon in the preconstruction phase, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including monitoring compliance with all EDGE, equal employment, and prevailing wage requirements, and submitting monthly reports of these activities to the Contracting Authority. All subcontracts shall be on the subcontract form prescribed by OAC Section 153:1-03-02. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to approve the CM’s selection of subcontractors and any supplemental terms to the subcontract form.
