Midwest Campus Chilled Water Connection

Project number: OSU-270001
This project prepares existing buildings in the midwest campus area to receive and utilize distribution chilled water from the Combined Heating Power (CHP) plant. A future project will connect buidlings to distributed hot water from the CHP plant. The design documents shall include both chilled and heating water building modifications, phased for chilled water connects to occur first. Heating water conections shall not require chilled water re-work. All work in occupied spaces shall occur during the chilled water phase. The buildings included in this project are Agricultural Engineering; Veterinary Medical Center buildings (Vet Hospital, Vet Academic, Goss Lab, Sisson, Galbreath Equine); College of Food Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) buildings (Howlett, Kottman, Howlett Headhouse, and Parker Food Science). Existing building equipment has reached the end of its useful life and no longer adequately supports the building’s operational needs. These connections will eliminate deferred maintenance liabilities.
Scope of Services: AE services shall include project planning, engineering and design services for the development of documents to upgrade and prepare buildings HVAC systems. Services will also include scope prioritization for repair with probable cost information. Delivery method for this project will be General Contracting. It is anticipated that the design documents will be partitioned into multiple packages. The AE design documents shall include planning and project phasing options for occupied multiple buildings. This project scope shall include, but is not limited to improving building HVAC systems, Air Handling Systems, and Building Automation System Controls.

No modifications to the requirements in the agreement will be accepted. During the construction period, provide not less than 10 hours (excluding travel time) on-site construction administration services each week, including (1) attendance at progress meetings, (2) a written field report of each site visit, (3) on-site representation comprised of the A/E and its consultant staff involved in the primary design of the project, all having relevant and appropriate types of construction administration experience. The project team (Owner / A/E / Contractor) will be required to utilize the University’s Project Management System, for all compatible services required by the University. 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 the 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.
