Site program includes development (to varying levels) across a 14 acre site, including track and field with grandstand and support buildings, baseball and softball fields with associated site structures, tennis courts, a multipurpose field. The Core Project Team ("CPT") currently includes the following: o Portland Public Schools (Owner) o Bora Architecture & Interiors and LEVER Architecture (Architect) o Vega Civil Engineering (Civil) o KPFF Consulting Engineers and Bright Engineering, Inc. (Structural) o PAE (Mechanical, Fire Protection) o PAE / Burman Design (Plumbing) o PAE / Samata Consulting Engineers (Electrical) o Vertex Technology Design Consulting (Low Voltage) o O-LLC Lighting Design (Lighting) o The Shalleck Collaborative (Theatrical & AV) o JBK Consulting and Design (Food Service) o PLACE (Landscape) The purpose of this RFP is to continue forming the Project team by selecting Mechanical/Plumbing and Electrical Contractors as key Trade Partners that will participate in the Project from early design and preconstruction and then move into construction services. Fire Suppression will be a separate bid package at a later date. a. This RFP is for Mechanical/Plumbing and Electrical Trade Partner for pre-construction services and construction services from late Design Development through Final Completion. b. The following is a list of services/expectations (not totally inclusive) for this project: i. Provide preconstruction related services along with coordination and expertise specific to the scope of work and communicate, articulate and participate openly with the project team. ii. Be open to new ideas and thoughts - always challenging the Project Team to have the best resource perform a defined scope of work, not just relying on the most available. iii. Regularly attend the collaborative meetings and approach them from a position of inquiry rather than advocacy - hoping to learn something from someone else in the collaborative process that will broaden the range of possible solutions. iv. Collaborate with all team members to understand interferences between each other's scopes and to identify solutions that optimize the project. v. Recommend innovative ideas and products whenever there is an opportunity to increase the value to the project, or to simplify coordination and installation details, or to reduce field labor and cost. vi. Recommend opportunities early in the process that will help reduce material handling, installation labor, and/or simplify coordination with other trades and will increase value to the project. vii. Work with the CPD Team to ensure the project achieves LEED Gold Certification. viii. Participate with the Project Team in the workflow mapping of design, permitting, fabrication and installation of systems. ix. In collaboration with the Project Team, inform the construction sequence plan (Project CPM Schedule) for the Work Scope - including the following: i) Activity sequences and duration; ii) Site and operation plans accurately depicting the sequence of work and management of materials on site; and iii) A resource allocation schedule for labor and materials. x. Work with the Project Team to maximize pre-fabrication opportunities during the design phase and follow through with pre-fabrication plans and Colas Hoffman's Nothing Hits the Floor program to optimize project deliveries, material handling and material staging. xi. Coordinate with Owner's Commissioning agent, PPS Operations & Maintenance as requested, become familiar with District's standards, lessons learned and provide input and recommendations for effective operation and maintenance. c. Electrical scope shall include, but not be limited to, Power, Fire Alarm, Security, Low Voltage, Telecom, AV/IT and Lighting. Electrical Trade Partner to note, for the Access Control System (ACS) scope of work, the project shall engage a single Kantech Global Certified subcontractor. The Access Control System Manufacturer will be Kantech. d. Mechanical/Plumbing scope shall include, but not be limited to, HVAC, Plumbing, Piping, Controls and Control Wiring. e. The successful Trade Partner will be brought on the project team early to provide preconstruction support through estimating at milestone sets, propose Value Engineering (VE) ideas, participate through the Target Value Design (TVD) to maintain budgets identified for systems and BIM modeling to support project schedule and requirements. f. Participate in the following Preconstruction Services: i. First Meeting: Discuss big picture items like overall MEP system design. Attend a page turn and walk through high-level project requirements and design intent. A. Owner Project Requirements/Standards B. Systems Overview C. Site Utility Overview & Utility Coordination D. Modeling Coordination 1) Corridors/Underground/Tight Areas E. BIM Execution Plan / Working Together ii. Design Development (DD) Pricing Set Feedback: Review and provide markups to the current set of MEP drawings upon execution of the contract. A. Constructability review commentary B. Cost Certainty and Value Engineering Ideas C. Early procurement expectations (if applicable) D. Manufacturer specific feedback (if applicable) iii. Construction Documents (CD) Phase: A. Each trade partner discipline to attend meetings as needed based on agenda (Frequency to occur once every other week - 3 hours on average per meeting). From 50% CD onward, expect to attend 4 hours every other week (or 2 hours weekly as needed). B. Engage with design progress as necessary to ensure cost certainty, constructability and coordination throughout. C. Engage BIM detailers to assist in resolving congested areas and high-density spaces including, but not limited to corridors, shafts, mechanical room, rooftop plant equipment supports/routing, etc. Building Information Modeling (BIM): i. Preconstruction should include all BIM necessary to meet RFP and schedule requirements through December 2026, when construction is scheduled to start. Construction budget should include all BIM requirements necessary to complete modeling, coordination, etc. at the completion of "preconstruction phase" until all BIM project requirements are met. ii. Provide "Hot Spot" Coordination/BIM modeling that would occur prior to full systems modeling. This coordination will be a collaborative process to identify and resolve congested areas and high density spaces that include, but not limited to, corridors, shafts, mechanical room, rooftop plant equipment supports/routing, etc. iii. Provide BIM services to identify structure penetrations and full BIM services for the project as relates to scope of work. Participate in the coordinated modeling and drawing process and operate in a manner consistent with requirements outlined in the BIM agreement. iv. To facilitate the schedule for mass timber fabrication, it is critical that all penetrations be identified and approved so it can be incorporated into the fabrication process for mass timber. v. Main building structure is a mass timber hybrid. Understand that all systems must be concealed unless discussed and approved by Design Team and Owner. Extra coordination and precaution must be taken in exposed areas (specially within the mass timber) to have all system runs neat with high level of detail. vi. Be able to work in Revit 2026, work in Navisworks Manage and to participate in BIM coordination through preconstruction through construction, with the objective of carrying model to LOD 400.
