Wright Center - Convert Existing Philips MRI to Siemens MRI (Room 1253)

Project number: OSU-255420
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is requesting qualifications from interested Construction Manager at Risk for a renovation in The Morehouse Medical Plaza – Concourse – Wright Center at 2050 Kenny Road in Columbus, Ohio. This project will replace an existing MRI in room 1253 which will include modifications to the adjacent control (1251) and equipment (1251A) rooms, a total of approximately 1,000sf. This MRI will be utilized for both patient care for OSU Medical Center and research functions for OSU College of Medicine. It is anticipated that mechanical, electrical, and other utility upgrades may be required to support the new MRI, including but not limited to installation of a new dedicated chiller. The basis of design is a Siemens Cima X 3T. This project will require coordination with the Medical Center’s imaging equipment vendor/installer for the new MRI. The existing RF shielding has been determined to be insufficient for the new 3T MRI and will need replaced as part of this project, as well as an existing Liebert unit in the equipment room that is at end-of-life. It is currently under consideration to also replace the existing PET CT across the hall in room 1252. Though not included in the scope or estimated budget at the time of the posting, if later approved to move forward within a reasonable timeframe, the contract could be amended to add the PET CT and its adjacent control and equipment rooms to this project. 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. This project includes asset tagging. The Primary firm submitting for the project is required to have the expertise capable of meeting this prerequisite and is responsible to support their consultants to meet this requirement. The Asset Tagging Process Diagram, Asset Worksheet Template, and LOD Matrix can be accessed via the OSU FOD website (https://fod.osu.edu/resources) under Design Guidelines, Specifications, Standards; Specifications and Standards; Building Information Modeling (BIM).
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. 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.

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.
