Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Chillicothe Correctional Institution (CCI), located at 15802 OH-104 Chillicothe Ohio was originally opened as a State

of Ohio prison in 1966. It is a former site of a military camp during the Civil War that later became a federal penitentiary.

CCI is currently a medium security prison with the capacity to house approximately 2,950 men.

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being issued to obtain Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) services for

replacement of major portions of the sanitary sewer system that feeds the CCI wastewater treatment plant. This plant and

collection system serves CCI, RCI and numerous surrounding properties and entities such as Unioto Schools, VA Center,

residences and businesses in the immediate area.

The sanitary sewer system that feeds into this treatment plant is aging and in dire need of repair and/or replacement. This

project will replace the sanitary trunk lines from the location of RCI to the location of the treatment plant at CCI. It involves

excavation, demolition, pipe and structure construction and installation, tie in of all smaller collector sewers that feed to

the plant, testing, inspection and operational startup of the new system.

The development of a complete Program of Requirements (POR) will be necessary. This POR development will include

investigation and review of all existing and potential future flows in the surrounding area. Evaluation of the project

schedule will also be part of the POR stage. The POR is included in the A/E’s scope (not this CMR scope) but will be

developed with the CMR and the entire project team’s input and cooperation.

It is desirable to issue one Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) negotiated according to the General Conditions (CM at

Risk Project). It is feasible there may be more than one GMP if determined to be in the best interest of the project. The

A/E procurement process will occur simultaneously with this CMR procurement; both the design and the construction

team is anticipated to be in place during the POR phase of the project.

Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract. All aspects of the

project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistently with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner’s

policies and procedures.

B. Scope of Services

The selected Construction Manager at Risk (“CM”), 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.

Request for Qualifications (CM at Risk Contract) continued

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

constructability review comments on documents produced by the A/E during the Schematic Design, Design Development,

and Construction Document stages; develop and maintain estimates of probable construction cost, value engineering,

project schedules, and construction schedules; lead and manage the Subcontractor Prequalification and Bidding process,

Construction and Closeout Stage.

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.

The preconstruction and construction services are generally described below. Subcontracts including but not limited to

Plumbing, Fire Protection, HVAC, Electrical and AV/Technology will be awarded by the CM 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/or Owner, the A/E and the CM. The

Contracting Authority and/or Owner shall have access to all books, records, documents and other data in the CM's

possession related to itself, its subcontractors and material suppliers pertaining to bidding, pricing or performance of the

Agreement.

Preconstruction Services: The CM will work cooperatively with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner, A/E, and Project

Team, and will provide, among other services, schedule development, estimate development, Guaranteed Maximum

Price (“GMP”) proposal, subcontractor prequalification and bidding, constructability review, permits, budgeting, value

engineering, and preconstruction planning throughout the preconstruction stages. When the drawings and specifications

are at the stage of completion specified in the Agreement, such partially completed documents (the “Basis Documents”)

shall be provided to the CM, together with the A/E's detailed listing of any incomplete design elements and the A/E’s

statement of intended scope with respect to such incomplete elements (the “Design Intent Statement”). Contingent upon

the Contracting Authority’s approval of the GMP, the parties will enter into an amendment to the Agreement establishing

the Contract Sum (“GMP Amendment”). If the proposed Contract Sum exceeds the Project Budget established for

construction, then the Contracting Authority may terminate the agreement with the CM and seek proposals from other

firms for completion of the Project.

Construction Services: The CM shall construct the Project pursuant to the construction documents and in accordance with

the schedule requirements. The CM shall hold all subcontracts and shall be fully responsible for the means and methods

of construction, project safety, project completion within the schedule agreed upon in the preconstruction phase,

compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including monitoring compliance with all EDGE, equal employment,

and prevailing wage requirements, and submitting monthly reports of these activities to the Contracting Authority. All

subcontracts shall be on the subcontract form prescribed by OAC Section 153:1-03-02. The Contracting Authority

reserves the right to approve the CM’s selection of subcontractors and any supplemental terms to the form subcontract.

F. Evaluation Criteria for Selection

Selection Criteria: The CM will be selected using (i) qualifications-based process during the Request for Qualifications

(“RFQ”) stage to develop a short list and (ii) best value process during the Request for Proposal stage. The qualifications-

based criteria for the RFQ is included in this announcement. The best value criteria used in evaluating proposals from

short listed firms will include such factors that are determined to derive or offer the greatest value to the State and Owner,

combining both qualifications and fee.

Short List: Each firm responding to this RFQ will be evaluated and selected based on its qualifications and the

qualifications and experience of the particular individuals identified as the candidate's proposed team for the Project. After

evaluating the responses to this RFQ, the Contracting Authority will select a short list of no fewer than three candidates

that it considers to be the most qualified, except if the Contracting Authority determines that fewer than three firms are

qualified, it will only select the qualified firms.

Request for Proposal: The short-listed firms shall be sent a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) that will invite the firms to submit

pricing proposals containing their proposed preconstruction stage compensation, construction stage personnel costs,

itemized construction stage general conditions costs, construction stage contingency percentage, and construction stage

fee percentage. The short-listed candidates will also receive (i) form of Agreement with the Contracting Authority

containing the contract terms and conditions, (ii) set of the most recent design documents and (iii) proposed Project

schedule.

Pre-Proposal Meeting: Prior to submitting a response to the RFP, the short-listed firms will be invited to meet individually

with the Contracting Authority and/or Owner. The purpose of the pre-proposal meeting is to permit the short-listed firms an

opportunity to ask the Contracting Authority and/or Owner questions in an individual setting to help the firms prepare their

responses to the RFP. The Contracting Authority will notify each short-listed firm to schedule individual times for the pre-

proposal meetings.

Interview: After submitting responses to the RFP, the short-listed firms will be interviewed by the Contracting Authority and

Owner. The purpose of the interview will be to meet the proposed Project team, become familiar with key personnel, and

understand the project approach and ability to meet the stated objectives for the Project. Please be prepared to discuss

with specificity the firm’s capacity to conduct this work in compliance with the timetable, budget and EDGE expectations.

The Contracting Authority will notify each short-listed firm to schedule individual times for the interviews.

Selection Schedule: Tentative schedule is subject to change.
