Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (ODAS), Office of Properties and Facilities (OPF), is seeking to engage

A/E firms to provide Survey/Assessment, Design, Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) Bidding and Procurement

Assistance, and Construction Administration (CA) services for a range of major facility upgrades/renovations/repair needs

across its managed building portfolio. These services will support the FY 27/28 biennium funding cycle, beginning with a

comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment in FY 26. Based on the findings of this assessment and prioritization by the

ODAS, the selected firm will proceed with design and construction administration for the approved scope of work.

PHASE 1 – FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT:

Upon execution of the A/E contract, the selected A/E firm will commence a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment

of the assigned property or properties. This assessment will include an evaluation of the overall site, building envelope,

physical plant, and the current operations and maintenance programs associated with the main residence, ancillary

buildings, and site grounds. Based on the findings of this assessment, the A/E will develop a prioritized scope of work with

associated cost estimates. DAS will use this information to help establish the proposed scope of work for the FY 27/28

biennium funding cycle.During this phase, the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) will also be procured. The A/E will

provide best-value selection assistance for the CMR procurement as part of its responsibilities in this phase.

PHASE 2A – DESIGN/CA PRIORITY WORK/KNOWN SCOPE:

DAS is currently completing a multi-year infrastructure improvement and preventive maintenance program generally based

on findings from previous facility condition assessments. Subject to the prioritization of ODAS, selected remaining

outstanding scope items and/or other new priority items will be incorporated into the FY 27 Improvement projects. Funding

for these efforts is expected to be allocated through the FY 27/28 biennium budget beginning in October 2026. At that time,

a professional services amendment will be executed to include design services, GMP proposal and amendment review,

subcontractor buyout review, and construction management services for the existing known scope of work. The extent of

this amendment will be subject to the final funding amount approved in the FY 27/28 capital bill.

This work is anticipated to progress generally in parallel with the new Facility Condition Assessment activities, though

schedules may shift slightly depending on funding release, planning needs, and project prioritization.

PHASE 3 – PRIORITY SCOPE FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT:

Based on the results of the Phase 1 Facility Condition Assessment, the A/E will prioritize the recommended scope of work

and identify the highest-priority items that can be executed using the remaining available funding for the building. At that

time, an additional professional services amendment will be executed to incorporate design services, GMP proposal and

amendment review, subcontractor buyout review, and construction management services for the approved high-priority

scope of work that is able to be performed with any residual funding available after the phase 2 work has been contracted.

B. Scope of Services

The selected A/E, as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposals, will discuss and clarify

with the Owner and/or the Contracting Authority, the cost breakdown of the A/E Agreement detailed cost components to

address the Owner’s project requirements. Participate in the Encouraging Diversity, Growth & Equity (EDGE) Program as

required by statute and the Agreement.

PHASE 1 – FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT

The Facility Condition Assessment scope of work will include, at a minimum, the following:

1. Conduct a comprehensive engineering and architectural analysis of the property, physical plant, and current operations

and maintenance programs. The analysis shall include all elements within the property boundary, including but not

limited to: building envelope(s), interior building systems, structural systems, signage, sidewalks, HVAC systems,

electrical systems, security systems, lighting and lighting controls, life safety systems, plumbing systems, utility service

connections, operations and maintenance programs (including maintenance and service contracts), elevators,

restrooms, landscaping, and all other major building components.

The selected A/E shall access as many areas as feasible to gather sufficient data to accurately determine the condition

of each system. Existing conditions must be documented through photographs of all relevant building systems,

components, and identified deficiencies.

The A/E shall interview key staff, as needed – including facility managers and maintenance personnel to collect

operational insights and maintenance history for critical systems and components.

Additionally, the A/E shall review all available building documentation, including prior surveys, construction and repair

drawings, past evaluations, ongoing maintenance and repair projects, ongoing renovations, preventive maintenance

assessments, and recent condition reports.

2. Review and update the existing Owner-maintained building system and component inventories. ODAS/OPF maintains

an electronic inventory of building systems and components, including location details, manufacturer information, model

numbers, serial numbers, and other identifying data. The A/E shall verify the accuracy of this inventory, update it as

necessary, and provide an assessment of each system, component, and piece of equipment indicating its estimated

position within its expected lifecycle.

3. Review and evaluate the existing maintenance, repair, and preventive maintenance programs for the property.

ODAS/OPF maintains written operations and maintenance programs for all building systems and components at each

facility.

4. Develop a comprehensive list of recommended projects for improvements, repairs, renovations, and capital

improvements based on the data collected in Phase 1. Each recommendation shall include an estimated cost and shall

be categorized by priority.

5. Prepare a written report that provides a clear and accurate assessment of current conditions, identified deficiencies,

recommended projects, prioritization of those projects, a multi-year scheduling timeline, and the estimated cost

associated with each recommended action.

6. Develop a companion spreadsheet to supplement the written report. The spreadsheet shall list all recommended

improvements, repairs, renovations, and capital projects necessary to address deficiencies and other identified needs

from this assessment. It shall include estimated construction costs and other relevant details, which will be further

defined upon award.
