Fawcett Center Renovations

Project number: OSU-270004
The Fawcett Center serves as a versatile event venue and the home of The Ohio State University's Athletics Administration. To better support collaboration among administrators and student-athletes, the Department of Athletics is planning to renovate the west wing of the facility. The project will transform approximately 18,000 square feet of currently vacant space, formerly occupied by WOSU, into a modern, collaborative workplace. The renovated area will consolidate Athletic Administration/Business Administration (BA), the Eugene D. Smith Leadership Institute (EDSLI), and the Content Creation Team into the basement and first floor of the Fawcett Center. The renovated space will include private offices, open work areas, conference rooms, video and photography studios, collaboration spaces, and supporting amenities designed to enhance communication, innovation, and operational efficiency. To accommodate the new program, the project will include new and upgraded mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems to support the functional and technical requirements of the renovated spaces. 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.

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, and design development. Then continue into construction documents, bidding, construction contract administration, construction services, 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. 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, Target Value Budget/Target Value Design, 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 Construction Manager at Risk Agreements. The selected CM will be required to sign the standard agreement. No modifications to the requirements in the agreement will be accepted. Required Professional Liability Insurance will be per General Conditions Articles 10.3.7 and 10.3.8. The project shall follow the applicable University Sustainability Standards: https://fdc.osu.edu/building-design-standards 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. 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 form subcontract. 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.” Closeout Services: The closeout for this project is required to be delivered in an electronic cloud-based format using e- Builder Project Management System and adhere to The Ohio State University Project Closeout Standards. The Ohio State University Project Closeout Standards can be accessed via the OSU FOD vender resource website (https://fod.osu.edu/resources) under Post Construction / Close Out.
