Project Overview
A. Project Description
Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract.
The Program of Requirements (“POR”) will be developed as a part of this project by the Architect/Engineer (“A/E”).
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.
The project will be a multi-phase project involving large scale renovation of the Medical Sciences Building, interior
renovations of multiple buildings on the Dayton Campus (final scope and location to be determined), construction of a
covered pedestrian walkway and procurement of moving services.
The primary scope will be interior demolition, interior construction, and limited envelope improvement at the Medical
Sciences Building. The first floor shall be renovated for a Nursing Skills Learning Center consisting of skills training labs,
practice labs, anatomage lab, storage and shell space. The second floor will be renovated for a Nursing simulation suite,
Emergency Room simulation suite, staff office space, moulage and storage, and shell space. The renovations are
anticipated to be approximately 28,000 square feet. In addition, an existing freight elevator will be restored to service and
vertical travel extended to the second floor of the building. Façade improvements will consist of removal of existing glass
block and installation of new curtain wall and construction of a new entry vestibules.
Secondary scope will include minor renovation to other buildings on campus to be identified in order to relocate
departments currently occupying the Medical Sciences building. A covered walkway will be constructed from the north
side of White Hall to connect with the eastern entrance of the NEC building in order to provide a weather protected
pedestrian travel path from White Hall to the balance of the Dayton Campus.
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.
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.

State of Ohio Standard Forms and Documents
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 Moving Services 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.

Request for Qualifications (CM at Risk Contract)
State of Ohio Standard Forms and Documents
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.
