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

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), through the Division of Parks and Watercraft is responsible for the operation and management of Ohio State Parks, eighteen (18) of which offer nightly and weekend rental opportunities of individual one, two, three, and four-bedroom cabins. These cabins were built between 1940 and 1990 with minor renovations completed since they were originally constructed. ODNR has conducted assessments and several rounds of improvements to the cabins over the last several capital biennia. ODNR is seeking professional design services for the next stage of the statewide cabin improvements. The focus of this project will be a continuation of assessments and renovations of existing cabins throughout the state. The intent of this project is to address the need for improvements and renovations for cabins at Lake Hope, Mohican, and Dillon State Park. Renovations at Lake Hope are planned to include seventeen (17) to twenty (20) cabins and will include kitchenette and bathroom remodels, finish upgrades, FF&E replacements, window replacements, exterior and interior painting, and mechanical system upgrades. ODNR has developed a "full" renovation program for its standard two-bedroom cabins and a "partial" renovation program for the non-standard historic cabins at Lake Hope. The "partial" planned renovations at Mohican include new windows and HVAC systems; new furnaces / air conditioning units are planned for at twenty-five (25) cabins and window replacements at nine (9) cabins. At Dillon, partial renovations include roof replacements at twelve (12) cabins that have not been replaced. Additionally, assessments and design effort will be undertaken at Maumee Bay and Tar Hollow; Tar Hollow, a historically significant location, will have assessments for the four (4) larger group cabins and the twenty-eight (28) standard cabins and are planned to include ADA accommodations in the group lodge and one (1) standard cabin. Maumee Bay scope will include assessments and conceptual designs for all twenty-four (24) 2- bedroom and 4-bedroom cabins for interior renovations including provisions for ADA accommodations. In addition to the renovations and assessments, a decommissioning plan of sixteen (16) previously assessed cabins at Lake Hope (3), Buck Creek (3), Hueston Woods (3), and Pymatuning (7) State Parks cabin sites. While all these locations have been identified as a part of this phase of ODNR's Statewide Cabin Improvement Program, ODNR may elect to include similar scopes of work at additional cabin locations throughout the state should funding allow. All regulatory and environmental regulations and permitting will be the responsibility of the A/E selected for this project. Archaeological assessments and US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) coordination may be required depending on property type and location. While ODNR anticipates centralized services from the selected Consultant at the ODNR Fountain Square complex at 2045 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229, travel will be necessary to complete the services. For the purposes of scoring proximity to project site, the ODNR Fountain Square complex will be considered the project site. The development of a complete Program of Requirements (POR) will also be included as part of the Professional Design as an Additional Service. The proposed project scope will be evaluated and prioritized, relative to each proposed location, to align with the project budget. Evaluation of the project/construction schedule will also be part of the POR stage. The effort may be further developed by utilizing facility and site assessments.
