Renovation of a medical facility in Columbus, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a medical facility.

As of January 4, 2024, this project has been place on hold indefinitely. A detailed scope has not yet been released. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: This project will replace the existing 4" pneumatic tube system in the Tower and Main wings of University Hospital East (Buildings 397 & 398) with a new 6" pneumatic tube system. The new system will incorporate new tube stations, blowers, and transfer stations in two primary zones with an interchange between the two zones (Main and Tower). While the primary intention is to follow the paths of the existing pneumatic tubing, it may be necessary to investigate alternate routings to accommodate the larger tube diameter and turning radii needed to fit larger carriers. To facilitate the installation of a new University purchased pneumatic tube system, the criteria A/E (C-A/E) will establish feasible routings, identify obstructions which will require relocation, document how the Design-Build (DB) contractor will access the route (whether thorough grid or hard ceilings or by access to chases or other concealed vertical routings) and will document the appropriate level of fire-stop required by the construction type to maintain all rated construction assemblies. The C-A/E will also be responsible for producing a traffic analysis of the existing system and assisting the University Hospital in understanding whether the proposed system is adequate for current and future needs. The C-A/E will be expected to produce an estimate of probable cost, as well as a preliminary duration for construction which will be the basis for the DB team to work from. The C-A/E will help evaluate DB proposals and make recommendations to the University as to best value selection.
