Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources seeks qualified architectural/engineering firms to provide comprehensive

design and construction administration services for building envelope restoration and improvements at the historic

Punderson State Park Lodge. This English Tudor-style facility, originally constructed in the 1920s as a private residence

with subsequent additions in the 1960s and 1990s, requires detailed design documents for exterior envelope repairs that

will preserve the building's historic character while improving performance, energy efficiency, and longevity.

A comprehensive assessment completed in February 2020 identified significant building envelope deficiencies requiring

professional design services. The facility has been "grandfathered" under previous codes but requires improvements to

extend service life and improve performance. This project encompasses prioritized improvements that align with the

"Warm , Safe, Dry" initiative to the Punderson State Park Lodge, with roof replacement as the primary focus. The roof is

critical to the building's structural integrity and weatherproofing. The lodge's roof requires immediate attention to prevent

further weather damage, water infiltration, and potential structural deterioration. Addressing the roof first ensures the

building is protected from the elements before proceeding with secondary improvements.

The selected Architect/Engineer (“A/E”) agreement may be extended and amended to add scope of work (if

additional funding becomes available.)

B. Scope of Services

The selected firm will provide complete architectural and engineering services for restoring and improving the building

envelope at Punderson State Park Lodge. The work includes full design services from the initial investigation through final

construction documents, support during the bidding process, and complete construction oversight until the project is

finished. The project budget listed in this RFQ is for design, bidding, and construction administration services, with a total

project amount of $6,838,200.

The selected architectural and engineering firm (C-AE - A/E) will be responsible for all regulatory requirements,

environmental regulations, and permits needed for this project. Archaeological assessments may be required depending

on the property type and location. Coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office may be necessary during the

design phase.

Relevant historical reports, assessments, inspections, programmatic agreement documents, and as-built drawings will be

provided only to firms that make the shortlist. Additional documentation will not be available during the initial RFQ phase

of the selection process.

Request for Qualifications (Registered Design Professional) continued

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Engineering has created a set of design guidelines for construction

projects. All architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors are expected to be familiar with these design guidelines,

which will be the preferred standards for all construction projects when creating final project specifications. A complete set

of current guidelines is available at https://ohiodnr.gov/business-and-industry/services-to-business-industry/design-

guidelines-all

For projects advertised with an appropriately developed Program of Requirements (“POR”), upon award of the

Agreement, commence with Design. For projects without such a POR, upon award of the Agreement, commence by

developing the Program of Requirements.

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.

As required by the Agreement, and as properly authorized, provide the following categories of services: Program

Verification, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Document Preparation, Bid and Award Support,

Conformed Documents, Construction Administration, Post-Construction, and Additional Services of all types.

Refer to the Ohio Facilities Construction Manual for additional information about the type and extent of services required

for each. A copy of the standard Agreement can be obtained at the OFCC website at https://ofcc.ohio.gov.

During the construction period, provide not less than 16 hours (excluding travel time) on-site construction administration

services each week, including (1) attendance at progress meetings, (2) a written field report of each site visit, (3) on-site

representation comprised of the A/E and its consultant staff involved in the primary design of the project, all having

relevant and appropriate types of construction administration experience.

Please list all major scope services needed to complete the selection process for successful project delivery. The specific

scope of services must state particular building types, functional design or specialized professional services required to

evaluate the level of experience of each applicant firm (e.g. parking garage, kitchen design, correctional facility, medical

facility). The scope of services should also define the types of basic and additional professional design and administration

services necessary for the project (e.g. LEED credentials and experience, previous experience with local jurisdiction or

similar sites, previous experience working with the State of Ohio, Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) experience and

training, specific BIM and Owner-defined requirements, level of development to be achieved within BIM models, BIM

deliverables, and Owner’s intended use of BIM models after construction). This information will be used by each applicant

to populate the Relevant Project Experience Matrix in Section F of Form F110-330.

For purposes of completing the Relevant Project Experience Matrix in Section F of the Statement of Qualifications (Form

F110-330), below is a list of relevant scope of work requirements for this RFQ:
