Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is requesting qualifications from interested Architect/Engineer (“A/E”)

teams for a renovation in The Morehouse Medical Plaza – Concourse – Wright Center at 2050 Kenny Road in Columbus,

Ohio. This project will replace an existing MRI in room 1253 which will include modifications to the adjacent control (1251)

and equipment (1251A) rooms, a total of approximately 1,000sf. It is anticipated that this MRI scan room will function as a

Class 1 Imaging room per FGI Guidelines.

Coordination with owner-provided equipment is required for this project, including but not limited to both the new MRI

scanner and dedicated chiller that will need installed on the roof. The existing Philips MRI is nearing end-of-life. The basis

of design for the new MRI is a Siemens Cima X (3T). This MRI will be utilized for both patient care for OSU Medical

Center and research functions for OSU College of Medicine. The A/E will aid in validating the space and construction

budget to support any structural, MEP, or other infrastructure upgrades required to support the new MRI.

The existing RF shielding has been determined to be insufficient for the new 3T MRI and will need replaced as part of this

project, as well as an existing Liebert unit in the equipment room that is at end-of-life.

It is currently under consideration to also replace the existing PET CT across the hall in room 1252. Though not included

in the scope or estimated budget at the time of the posting, if later approved to move forward within a reasonable

timeframe, the contract could be amended to add the PET CT and its adjacent control and equipment rooms to this

project.

Full scope and description of work are subject to change.

This project includes asset tagging. The Primary firm submitting for the project is required to have the expertise capable of

meeting this prerequisite and is responsible to support their consultants to meet this requirement. The Asset Tagging

Process Diagram, Asset Worksheet Template, and LOD Matrix can be accessed via the OSU FOD website

(https://fod.osu.edu/resources) under Design Guidelines, Specifications, Standards; Specifications and Standards;

Building Information Modeling (BIM).

B. Scope of Services
