Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) intends to pre-qualify firms to provide architecture, landscape

architecture, engineering, surveying, and energy services for small projects. This selection is used to determine a list of pre-

qualified firms that will be eligible for award of contracts for the period beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2028. In

order for any firms on the FY25-26 list to be considered in the pre-qualification process for future projects, they must reapply

for this FY27-28 Consultant List.The current OFCC Consultant List expires on June 30, 2026.

Services are in support of OFCC administered projects, as well as to support state agency and higher education locally

administered projects. Consultants are generally utilized for small projects or specialized tasks.

Upon completion of the selection process, OFCC will seek Controlling Board approval for establishment of the Consultant

List for use on projects administered by OFCC, state agencies and institutions of higher education. Each Contracting

Authority will seek separate Controlling Board approval for release of funds. Total contract awards by all Contracting

Authorities to each pre-qualified firm is limited to the amount of $250,000 for the two-year period. OFCC reserves the right

to extend service for an additional two years. Upon exercise of the optional two-year extension, the initial expenditure limit

of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall renew and apply anew for the duration of the extension term.

The short-listing, solicitation, selection, negotiation, contracting, administration, management and payment of services of

consultants will be the responsibility of each Contracting Authority, while the centralized development and maintenance of

the Consultant List remains the responsibility of OFCC. Consultant selections will be in accordance with Section 153:1-1-

02 of the Ohio Administrative Code. Selection of consultants under $50,000 may be in accordance with either Section 153:1-

1-02 of the Ohio Administrative Code or Section 153.71(A) of the Ohio Revised Code.

While pre-qualified status means that a firm is eligible for award of contracts, OFCC does not guarantee that a firm will be

awarded any work or make a representation of the amount of work a firm may receive within the two-year period or the

optional two-year extension.

All projects utilizing the OFCC Consultant List services must be administered through the state’s web-based project

management system (OAKS CI).

B. Scope of Services

Work assignments may include: architecture, landscape architecture, engineering (any engineering discipline), surveying,

and energy related specialty consulting services including but not limited to facility evaluation and master planning

services; review or creation of a Program of Requirements; various studies; prototype building design; preparation of

bidding and construction documents; validation of existing site conditions; preparation of cost estimates; quality assurance

testing during construction; pre-design investigations; preparation of cost estimates; code-required special inspection and

conservation design; lighting consulting; maintenance planning; manual and document preparation; assistance with

performance contract RFP development; and assistance with utility bill data entry, analysis, management, auditing and

reporting services.

Services will be provided in accordance with the OFCC standard form of Consultant Agreement. As a project is identified for

architectural, landscape architectural services, surveying or engineering, the Contracting Authority will notify a pre-qualified

firm or firms of the project and provide a scope of work. Only the firm selected for an assignment will be requested to provide

a fee proposal. The scope of work and schedule for a specific project will be described in an exhibit document attached to the

agreement.

The Contracting Authority responsible for the specific project will initiate contract negotiations directed toward:

(1) Ensuring that the firm and the agency have a mutual understanding of the essential requirements involved in

providing the required services;

(2) Determining that the firm will make available the necessary personnel, equipment, and facilities to perform the

services within the required time; and

(3) Agreeing upon fair and reasonable compensation, taking into account the estimated value, scope, complexity, and

nature of the services.

Upon failure to negotiate a contract with an identified pre-qualified firm, the Contracting Authority will inform the firm in

writing of the termination of negotiations and may enter into negotiations with another firm on the pre-qualified list.
