The Construction Manager (CM) selected will become a responsible, cooperative and contributing
member of the Owner's professional team for the design and construction of the project. The
Construction Manager (CM) will provide assistance and advice and provide management services to
the Owner and design consultants to assure the project is completed within defined budget, program

The total scope of this project is currently $5,500,000.00 with a total maximum construction budget
of approximately $3,881,250.00 to include costs for Construction Management Services as well as
for the award of trade contracts. The contract established for construction management services will

create an EmPath Unit. An EmPath unit will assist in diverting patients in mental distress away from
the Emergency Department. The space used is adjacent to the Main UK KDMC Campus in Ashland
KY. The location will also provide on-site parking to facilitate faster and easier access for patients.

UK HealthCare

8
UK HealthCare is the hospitals and clinics of the University of Kentucky. But it is so much more. It is
more than 10,000 dedicated health care professionals committed to providing advanced subspecialty
care for the most critically injured and ill patients from the Commonwealth and beyond. It also is the
home of the state's only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center,
a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that cares for the tiniest and sickest newborns, the region's
only Level 1 trauma center and Kentucky's top hospital ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
As an academic research institution, we are continuously pursuing the next generation of cures,
treatments, protocols and policies. Our discoveries have the potential to change what's medically
possible within our lifetimes. Our educators and thought leaders are transforming the health care
landscape as our six health professions colleges teach the next generation of doctors, nurses,
pharmacists and other health care professionals, spreading the highest standards of care. UK
HealthCare is the power of advanced medicine committed to creating a healthier Kentucky, now and
for generations to come.
UK St. Claire
On July 1, 2024, UK St. Claire officially became part of the University of Kentucky today - a move
that will expand academic programs and greater access to quality patient care for more Kentuckians.
UK St. Claire is one of the largest employers in the greater Morehead region with more than 1,300
employees including over 50 physicians and nearly 50 advanced practice professionals representing
more than 20 medical specialties.
The UK Office of Legal Counsel (described below) may use contracts awarded under this RFP to also

UK Office of Legal Counsel
The University of Kentucky's Office of Legal Counsel (UK Office of Legal Counsel) provides high
quality legal services to the University and its affiliated corporations. By advising administrators,
faculty, staff, and student leaders in a timely and proactive manner, we minimize the legal risk and

2.3 Medical Center Information
Upon his arrival in 2011, President Eli Capilouto set an ambitious agenda to extend and enhance
our role as Kentucky's land-grant and flagship research Medical Center. By focusing on
infrastructure growth and improvement; creating opportunities for innovative teaching, learning and
academic excellence; fostering a robust research enterprise; providing life-saving subspecialty care;
empowering communities through service and outreach; and encouraging a transparent and shared
dialogue about institutional priorities; the UK King's Daughters Medical Center will help ensure a
Kentucky tomorrow that is healthier, wealthier and wiser than it is today.
Our mission is to advance Kentucky.
Founded in 1865 as a land-grant institution adjacent to downtown Lexington, UK is nestled in the
scenic heart of the beautiful Bluegrass region of Kentucky. From its early beginnings, with only 190
students and 10 professors, UK's campus now covers more than 900 acres. The Medical Center
enrolled more than 32,000 students in Fall 2022 and has approximately 25,000 employees,
including nearly 3,000 full-time faculty.
UK is one of a small number of universities in the United States that has programs in agriculture,
engineering, law, fine arts and a full complement of health colleges including medicine and
pharmacy, on a single campus alongside an academic health system, leading to groundbreaking
discoveries and unique interdisciplinary collaboration.
The state's flagship Medical Center consists of 18 academic and professional colleges where
students can choose from more than 200 majors and degree programs at the undergraduate and
graduate levels. The colleges are Agriculture, Food and Environment; Arts and Sciences; Business
and Economics; Communication and Information; Dentistry; Design; Education; Engineering; Fine
Arts; Graduate School; Health Sciences; Honors; Law; Medicine; Nursing; Pharmacy; Public Health;
and Social Work. These colleges are supported by a modern research library system.
Research at the UK King's Daughters Medical Center is a dynamic enterprise encompassing both
traditional scholarship and emerging technologies. UK's research faculty, staff and students are
establishing UK as one of the nation's most prolific public research universities. UK researchers
were awarded more than $452.9 million in extramural grant and contract funding in fiscal year 2022.
Fifty-six percent of this funding comes from agencies in the federal government ($256 million) such
as the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy,
Department of Defense and numerous other federal, state and industry sponsors. Expenditures
from research and development (R&D) activities at the Medical Center generate more than $772
million in economic development across the Commonwealth of Kentucky and support more than
4,395 jobs.

10
With more than 70 research centers and institutes, UK researchers are discovering new knowledge,
providing a rich training ground for current students and the next generation of researchers and
advancing the economic growth of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Several centers excel in the
services offered to the public. The Gluck Equine Research Center is one of only three facilities of its
kind in the world, conducting equine disease research.
The Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) is internationally recognized for research in algae
for carbon dioxide clean up, carbon materials, concrete and cement, emissions control in utilities,
energy policy, fuels research, hydrogen, materials characterization and plant optimization.
Among the brightest examples of UK's investment in transformative research is the Markey Cancer
Center. As a center of excellence and distinction at UK, Markey's robust research and clinical
enterprise is the cornerstone of our commitment to Kentucky - fundamental to our success in
uplifting lives through our endeavors and improving the general health and welfare of our state -
burdened by the nation's highest rate of cancer deaths per 100,000 people. In 2013, Markey earned
the prestigious National Cancer Institute-designation (NCI) - one of 68 nationally and the only one
in Kentucky. The designation was renewed in 2018.
Both CAER and Markey are cornerstones of seven Research Priority Areas (RPAs) at the UK
King's Daughters Medical Center. These areas - chosen based on local relevance, existing
funding strength, sustainability and disciplinary scholarly diversity - focus UK's top research talent
on the most pressing challenges confronting our state.
The UK King's Daughters Medical Center is the recipient of a Clinical Translational Sciences Award
(CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As one of only 60 institutions with this research
distinction, UK was awarded the CTSA for its potential in moving research and discovery in the lab
into practical field and community applications. The CTSA and NCI are part of a trifecta of federal
research grants that include an Alzheimer's Disease Center. UK is one of only 29 universities in the
country to hold all three premier grants from NIH.
Established in 1957, the medical center at UK is one of the nation's finest academic medical centers
and includes the Medical Center's clinical enterprise, UK HealthCare. Licensed for 965 beds across
UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital, Kentucky Children's Hospital and UK Good Samaritan Hospital, the
system is supported by a growing faculty and staff providing the most advanced subspecialty care
for the most critically injured and ill patients throughout the Commonwealth and beyond. Since
2014, the number of patients served by the medical enterprise has nearly doubled, with more than
38,000 discharges in 2022.
UK Chandler Hospital includes the only Level 1 Trauma Center for both adult and pediatric patients
in Central and Eastern Kentucky. In addition, UK HealthCare recently opened one of the country's
largest robotic hybrid operating rooms and the first of its kind in the region. While the new patient
care pavilion is the leading health care facility for advanced medical procedures in the region, our
talented physicians consult with and travel to our network of affiliate hospitals so Kentuckians can
receive the best health care available close to their home and never need to leave the Bluegrass for
complex subspecialty care.
As of December 1, 2022, King's Daughters Medical Center, based in Ashland, Kentucky, officially
became part of the UK King's Daughters Medical Center. King's Daughters Medical Center serves a
16-county region across Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia. Its health system is composed of two
acute-care hospitals totaling 465 licensed beds, more than 50 ambulatory centers and practice
locations, a long-term care facility, medical transport company and six urgent care centers.
