Miami Valley Behavioral Healthcare Land Acquisition/Subsurface Investigation and Hazardous Material Testing FY25 OhioMHAS

*Amendment to extend the posting period by 2 business days.  MISSION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The mission of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is to provide statewide leadership of a high-quality mental health and addiction prevention, treatment and recovery system that is effective and valued by all Ohioans. OhioMHAS strives to be a national leader in implementing a comprehensive, accessible, and quality-focused system of addiction and mental health care and wellness for all Ohio citizens. PURPOSE
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to provide a geotechnical subsurface study and provide hazardous material testing at 1001 Shiloh Springs Road, Dayton, OH 45415. BACKGROUND
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) operates regional psychiatric hospitals in six locations across the state. Our specialized facilities provide short-term, intensive treatment to patients in both inpatient and community-supported environments. We also deliver comprehensive care to patients committed by criminal courts. Each hospital is required to be inspected by and maintain compliance with the national healthcare standards for hospitals of The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). All six Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services regional psychiatric hospitals have achieved The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™. Plans to implement a new facility in West Central Ohio are underway. The new facility will look to add 208 additional beds to the department to continue to serve Ohioans. The facility shall incorporate 290,000 square feet of new construction, including all mechanical, administrative, food service, and support space. Patient accessible areas will be designed to reflect state of the art safety and security requirements, including ligature resistant fixtures and hardware and highly durable construction. SCOPE OF WORK AND DELIVERABLES
Completion of a hazardous materials site assessment Include a phase 2 environmental site assessment, Phase 1 findings are attached as exhibit 6.
Provide the following geotechnical services: 57 Standard borings: up to 20’-0” in depth or rock refusal. See attached site plan for preliminary locations, attached as exhibit 7. Geotechnical engineer shall evaluate preliminary locations and number of borings and provide recommendation as to quantity, location, depth, and type of borings as a basis of proposal.
Report Content: A general description of the site topography subsurface soil types and conditions encountered. A plot indicating the locations of top U.S.G.S. elevation at each soil boring. A complete record of each soil boring including but not limited to penetration test results, soil sample intervals and water table elevation if encountered. Evaluation of site soils for use as site fill or engineered fill material. Site preparation recommendations regarding cut and fill operations in building, pavement and site areas. Recommendations for appropriate foundation type and design criteria including bearing capacity of natural and compacted soil, provisions to prevent or mitigate effects of moisture intrusion on prepared soil and any special construction measures required. Expected total and differential settlement. Seismic site classification. Groundwater management considerations.­­ Recommendations for ground slab and pavement support. Recommendations for active, at-rest and passive lateral earth pressures for designing retaining walls with and without water present. Recommendations of soil material and compaction requirements for backfill behind walls in areas that will support applied vertical loads.
Take all reasonable precautions to prevent damage to property and underground utilities. Utilize local utilities protection services to locate underground utilities. Restore site to its existing condition by backfilling borings and patching slabs and pavements with like materials at boring locations.   MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTOR
Minimum of 5 years’ experience conducting geotechnical and/or environmental services. Experience conducting geotechnical/ environmental services on large scale sites (50+ acres)
