Name of Project: Wood County Department of Job and Family Services - Interior Renovations
Location: 1928 E. Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling Green, OH 43402
Description of Project: The County is seeking architectural design services for an interior renovation
project at the Wood County Department of Job & Family Services. The renovations will include the
construction of eight additional offices, construction of two interview rooms in the Job Store area for
consumer confidentiality, division of one large conference room to create three separate conference rooms
for trainings, etc., and some limited updates at the front entrance of the building. The work will require
interior design, electrical and fire suppression system modifications, and interior HVAC ductwork
modifications. Along with the preparation of drawings, the County desires assistance with bid documents,
the bidding process, and project management. The interior renovations are necessary due to an increase in
the number of staff moving into the building.
Additional Required Considerations:
Some offices will require confidentiality for consumer and JFS employee discussions;
Consideration should be given to safety/security considerations for JFS employees meeting with
consumers in the Job Store area;
Selected firm will need to provide HVAC load information to the County for work being
performed on the HVAC system by another engineer/contractor.
County desires this work to be performed quickly due to a business need to have additional staff in
the building.
