Schumaker Complex - Nutrition Offices

Project number: OSU-270003
The Schumaker Complex is a key athletics support facility for The Ohio State University Department of Athletics, housing offices, team support functions, and student-athlete resources. This project will be executed within an active athletics environment that will require coordination with building occupants and ongoing operations to maintain safety, minimize disruptions, and ensure continued access to adjacent spaces throughout construction. The project will renovate the existing W1210 locker room suite into a new office area for the Nutrition Services staff. Work includes the complete demolition of the existing locker room and restroom facilities, capping and abandoning existing water and sanitary lines as required, and reconfiguring HVAC ductwork, fire alarm devices, and electrical systems to support the new office layout. The existing W1210B storage room door will be relocated to the north side of the room and replaced with a roll- up door to minimize required opening clearance. The renovated space will provide a minimum of three private offices furnished for staff use. New office partitions will include acoustic insulation, and ACT ceilings will be installed throughout to help reduce sound transmission between adjacent workspaces and create a functional environment for confidential consultations and daily operations. Work is anticipated to occur during normal business hours, with coordination required to maintain uninterrupted operations within surrounding athletics support spaces. 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.
Scope of Services: The project and construction budget as listed in this RFQ is estimated. 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.

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.

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://fod.osu.edu/sites/default/files/div_18.pdf. 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.

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.
