Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services intends to construct a new facility, Miami Valley Behavioral

Healthcare (MBVH). This facility will have approximately 208 beds and shall incorporate roughly 285,000 square feet of

new construction, including all mechanical, administrative, food service, and support space. Patient-accessible areas will

be designed to reflect state of the art safety and security requirements, incorporating ligature-resistant fixtures and

hardware, as well as highly durable construction materials.

This new facility will provide a secure environment that includes residential patient units, clinical/admitting space, full

service kitchen, indoor and outdoor recreation areas, and required support operations consisting of administrative offices,

food and bulk storage facilities and maintenance operations. Key features of this facility will include the development of a

“safe and secure building envelope” for patients and building materials and fixtures suitable for use by the intended

occupant. It is understood the selected Commissioning Agent will coordinate, provide relevant information, and work

closely with and provide input to the Owner and Project Team including the A/E, and CMR through all stages of the

project.

The selected Commissioning Agent (CxA) will provide professional services for the new facility including:

- Testing and Balancing (TAB) of building systems, the building envelope, and specialty equipment/systems.

- Enhanced Commissioning Additional Services (sub-consultants as necessary) for Pre-Joint Commission

survey(s) with the express intention of alleviating any potential corrective measures as may be determined/required by the

Joint Commission. NOTE: the candidate shall provide a list of 3 potential providers. The selection of the provider

and the determination of an allowance will take place at a future date.

Total Project Cost will be $275,000,000.00, estimated Construction Cost will be $239,751,682.49. For the purposes of this

RFQ, the State will be negotiating Commissioning Services for the entirety of the project.

B. Scope of Services

The selected Commissioning Agent (“CxA”), 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 Consultant

Agreement detailed cost components to address the Owner’s project requirements. Participate in the Encouraging

Growth, Diversity & 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: Assist the Owner
