Renovation of an educational facility in Athens, Ohio. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The Lausche Heating Plant and West Green Chilled Water Plant buildings contain equipment feeding the heating and cooling distribution systems to many Athens Campus buildings. The roofs for the Lausche and West Green Chilled Water Plant buildings are past their life expectancies. The Program of Requirements ("POR") will be developed as a part of this project by the Criteria Architect/Engineer ("Criteria A/E"). All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner's policies and procedures. Submit all questions regarding this RFQ in writing to Brody Bauers at bauersb@ohio.edu with the project number included in the subject line (no phone calls please). The scope of this project includes roof repairs and/or replacements for the Lausche and West Green Chilled Water Plant buildings. The roof scope will avoid damage that could impact critical equipment such as campus boilers, chillers, pumps, controls, and electric systems. The preconstruction and construction services are generally described below. Subcontracts including Plumbing, Fire Protection, HVAC, and Electrical trades will be awarded by the DB 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 and the Owner, the Criteria A/E and the DB. The Contracting Authority and/or Owner shall have access to all books, records, documents and other data in the DB's possession related to itself, its subcontractors and material suppliers pertaining to bidding, pricing or performance of the Agreement. Preconstruction Services: The DB will work cooperatively with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, Criteria A/E and Project Team, and will provide, among other services, schedule development, estimate development, program verification, schematic design, design development, Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP") proposal, subcontractor prequalification and bidding, construction documents preparation, constructability review, permits, budgeting, value engineering, and preconstruction planning throughout the preconstruction stages. When the drawings and specifications are at a stage of completion specified in the Agreement, such partially completed documents (the "Basis Documents") shall be provided to the DB, together with the Architect/Engineer of Record's ("AOR") detailed listing of any incomplete design elements and the AOR'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 DB and seek proposals from other firms for completion of the Project.
