Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Glass Bowl Stadium, originally constructed in 1936, continues to serve as the home of the University of Toledo

Rockets football program. Over the years, it has undergone several renovations and expansions, and its current capacity

is 26,038 spectators. This project focuses on completing essential repairs to extend the facility’s useful life. Scope of work

will include, but is not limited to, structural concrete repairs, joint sealant replacement, coping repairs, concrete deck

repairs, and the replacement of deteriorated steel lintels.

A structural conditions assessment by Osborn Engineering will be issued to the shortlisted firms.

All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Contracting Authority

and/or Owner’s policies and procedures.

B. Scope of Services

The selected Design-Builder (“DB”), as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposal, will

discuss and clarify with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, the breakdown of the Agreement detailed cost

components, to address the Owner’s project requirements and refine the project schedule. 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: develop and

maintain estimates of probable construction cost, value engineering, project schedules, and construction schedules; lead

and manage the Schematic Design, Design Development, Subcontractor Prequalification and Bidding process,

Construction Documents, Construction and Closeout stages.

Refer to the Ohio Facilities Construction Manual 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.

The preconstruction and construction services are generally described below. Subcontracts will be awarded by the DB to

prequalified vendors using a competitive process. The parties will engage in an "open book" pricing method in which all

subcontracted work shall be based upon competitive pricing that will be reviewed by the Contracting Authority and the

Owner and the DB. The Contracting Authority and/or Owner shall have access to all books, records, documents and other

data in the DB's possession related to itself, its subcontractors and material suppliers pertaining to bidding, pricing or

performance of the Agreement.

Preconstruction Services: The DB will work cooperatively with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner and Project Team,

and will provide, among other services, schedule development, estimate development, program verification, schematic
