Scope of Services: The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (WMC) has prepared a preliminary program for cancer-focused community care buildings which the selected A/E will be required to validate. The validated program will form the basis for the preparation of the preliminary construction estimates for the buildings. WMC has also prepared a conceptual exterior façade design for the buildings which the selected A/E will be expected to critique, modify, and otherwise adapt, provided the recommended exterior façade reflects design elements consistent with the James Cancer Hospital at WMC’s main campus. The project has been approved for design services only. The initial contract sum will be for the Registered Design Professionals (A/E) to provide schematic design and design development drawings. The university may amend the A/E contract upon approval to complete the design development drawings, construction documents, bidding, construction contract administration, and post-construction services. The project shall follow the applicable University Sustainability Standards: https://fod.osu.edu/sites/default/files/div_18.pdf. The selected A/E, as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposals, will discuss and clarify with the Owner and/or the 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. Required Professional Liability Insurance will be per Exhibit A – A/E Terms and Conditions Article 7.2.6. As required by the Agreement, and as properly authorized, provide the following categories of services: Program Verification, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Document Preparation, Bid and Award Support, Conformed Documents, Construction Administration, Post-Construction, and Additional Services of all types.
