Central Sterile Supply - Offsite CSS Sterile Processing Expansion

Project number: OSU-266064
This project located at Central Sterile Supply, 2814 Kenn Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210, consists of the addition of two steam sterilizers, two washers, and two steam generators. The new sterilizers will be installed adjacent to the existing sterilizers on the north side of the first floor and shall be connected to existing power, steam mains, and water connections. The steam main serving the sterilizers shall require adding two new steam generators to account for the increased steam load. These steam generators shall be installed in the penthouse adjacent to or across from the existing steam generators and shall be connected to all required utilities. The two new washers shall be installed adjacent to the existing washers on the south side of the first floor and shall also be connected to existing power and water connections. Timelines with ordering and delivery of the washers and sterilizers will need to be timed closely to the installation of all equipment. Anticipated equipment installation is March 23, 2027. Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract. The Program of Requirements (“POR”) will be developed as a part of this project by the Architect/Engineer (“A/E”). All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Contracting Authority/Owner’s policies and procedures. This project includes asset tagging. The Primary firm submitting for the project is required to have the expertise capable of meeting this prerequisite and is responsible to support their subcontractors to meet this requirement. The Asset Tagging Process Diagram, Asset Worksheet Template, and LOD Matrix can be accessed via the OSU FOD website (https://fod.osu.edu/resources) under Design Guidelines, Specifications, Standards; Specifications and Standards; Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Scope of Services: The project and construction budget as listed in this RFQ is estimated. The project has been approved for design and construction services. This request is for Construction Manager at Risk (“CM”) to assist with preconstruction to establish the schematic design concept, begin design development, and construction documents. The university may amend the CM contract upon approval for bidding, construction contract administration and post-construction services. The selected Construction Manager at Risk, as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposal, will discuss and clarify with the Contracting Authority/Owner, the breakdown of the Agreement detailed cost components, to address the Owner’s project requirements and refine the project schedule.

The project team (Owner / A/E / CM) will be required to utilize e-Builder, the University’s Project Management System, for all compatible services required by the University. 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/Owner, the A/E and the CM. The Contracting Authority/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/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, Target Value Budget/Target Value Design, 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.
