This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being issued to obtain Professional Design (A/E) services for the design and management of a series of improvement projects at the Mohican and Salt Fork State Park Lodges. Facility Master Plans were completed in 2015 for several of ODNR's State Park Lodges under their "Warm, Safe, Dry" initiative. These assessments focused on life safety improvements needed to bring the facilities up to current building codes and standards, while at the same time, enhancing the use and comfort of the lodge guests. Roof and building envelope conditions as well as related infrastructure were also reviewed in these assessments. Implementation budgets and suggested project phasing was included as part of the assessment report. After the first phase of renovation was completed in fiscal years 15/16, the Master Plans were again updated in June 2017 to determine and prioritize the next phases of renovation work This series of projects will be focused on Infrastructure improvements and other code compliance priorities.
