Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), through the Divisions of Parks and Watercraft and Natural Areas

and Preserves (DNAP) is responsible for the management of maintenance facilities located at properties across the State.

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being issued to obtain Professional Design (A/E) services for the renovation

and/or replacement of existing facilities. The current structures exist in varying degrees of condition and require evaluation

and assessment prior to design. Each building design scope will be based on the specific needs of the location to better

accommodate staff, equipment and maintenance needs of day-to-day operations.

These projects are being administered by ODNR pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 1501.011(B)(1)(c).

This RFQ includes projects for the design and construction of maintenance facilities at multiple locations, grouped into

three projects by Division:

Request for Qualifications (Registered Design Professional) continued

It is the intent of ODNR to award multiple A/E contracts through this selection process. The intent is to award 2 contracts

aligned per each owning division noted in the above table. It is possible that each A/E contract could include multiple bid

packages based on facility location. Through this selection process, ODNR will engage multiple Architectural firms to

provide professional services for designing, permitting, bidding and construction administration associated with the

facilities noted in the above table and any other facilities as outlined and as directed by the ONDR Department of

Engineering.

As scope and associated costs are solidified, projects of similar types, scope and budget may be added or removed as

ODNR initiatives and funding allow.

While ODNR anticipates centralized services from the selected Consultant at the ODNR Fountain Square complex at

2045 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229, travel will be necessary to complete the services. For the purposes of scoring

proximity to project site, the ODNR Fountain Square complex will be considered the project site.

B. Scope of Services

The development of a Program of Requirements (POR) will be included as part of the Professional Design as an

Additional Service. The project scope will be evaluated, prioritized, and defined to align with the project budget. Evaluation

of the project construction schedule will also be part of the POR stage. Upon award of the Agreement, the selected firm

will commence by developing the Program of Requirements.

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.

The selected firm shall apply for and obtain all necessary regulatory permits, maintain current estimates of probable

construction costs through the design phase, and provide construction administration services. Permitting and/or

coordination with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),

ODNR Dam Safety Program, ODNR Division of Wildlife, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), State Historic

Preservation Office (SHPO), and the local floodplain administrators will be required. The selected firm will provide the

engineering analysis and calculations needed to advance the design, including structural, geotechnical, and hydraulics

engineering.

All design and construction shall comply with the current editions of all applicable national, state, and local codes, as well

as accessibility standards, including ADA, ICC A117.1, and the ABA Outdoor Developed Areas Guidelines. The Ohio

Department of Natural Resources Division of Engineering has developed a set of design guidelines for construction

projects. It is expected that all architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors will be familiar with these design

guidelines which will serve as the preference for all construction projects when developing 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.

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.

It is important to note that this project will require the assembly and coordination of separate bid packages based on the

breakdown of the client divisions and locations noted on page one (minimum of three packages).

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 12 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.
