Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), through the Division of Parks and Watercraft is responsible for the

management of maintenance facilities located at properties across the State. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is

being issued to obtain Professional Design (A/E) services for two new facilities required to replace aging, existing

structures to better accommodate staff, equipment and operational needs of day-to-day Park operations.

This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) covers the construction of new maintenance facilities at two locations: Pike Lake

State Park in Bainbridge, Pike County, and Tar Hollow State Park in Laurelville, Hocking County.

At Pike Lake State Park, the project consists of constructing a new maintenance facility of approximately 2,400 square

feet. The work includes demolition and replacement of the existing structure, which has been compromised by storm-

related water intrusion. The selected consultant will be expected to evaluate site conditions thoroughly and consider

environmental factors, operational needs, and proximity constraints when developing the final design.

At Tar Hollow State Park, the project involves demolishing and removing two existing buildings to consolidate the Park

Office and Maintenance operations into a single, new multipurpose facility of approximately 3,200 square feet. The design

scope includes evaluating and reviewing potential alternative building locations within the project footprint to determine the

most suitable site.

While ODNR anticipates centralized services from the selected Consultant at the ODNR Fountain Square complex at

2045 Morse Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229, travel will be necessary to complete the services. For the purposes of scoring

proximity to project site, the ODNR Fountain Square complex will be considered the project site.

B. Scope of Services

The selected firms shall also apply for and obtain all necessary regulatory permits, coordinate as needed with SHPO,

maintain current estimates of probable construction costs through the design phase, and provide bidding and construction

administration services.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Engineering has created a set of design guidelines for construction

projects. All architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors are expected to be familiar with these design guidelines,

Request for Qualifications (Registered Design Professional) continued

which will be the preferred standards for all construction projects when creating final project specifications. A complete set

of current guidelines is available at Design Resources | Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

The selected A/E firms should consider innovative structures or construction techniques for improved constructability and

to minimize permitting and environmental impacts.

The selected firm’s agreement may be extended and amended to include additional, similar scopes of work at other sites.

These may include, but are not limited to: construction of a new Maintenance Facility at Mathers Mill; Equipment Storage

Facilities at Olsen, Lawrence Woods, Chaparral Prairie, Goll Woods, and Eagle Creek for the Division of Natural Areas

improvements at the Sign Shop at Dillon State Park; a new Maintenance and Office Facility at Mohican State Park; and

rehabilitation of the Custodial and Laundry Facility at Pymatuning State Park for the Division of Parks and Watercraft.

Upon award of the Agreement, commence by completing Program Verification.

The selected A/E, as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposals, will discuss and

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

components to address the Owner’s project requirements. 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: Program

Verification, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Document Preparation, Bid and Award Support,

Conformed Documents, Construction Administration, Post-Construction, and Additional Services of all types.

for each. A copy of the standard Agreement can be obtained at the OFCC website at https://ofcc.ohio.gov.

services each week, including (1) attendance at progress meetings, (2) a written field report of each site visit, (3) on-site

representation comprised of the A/E and its consultant staff involved in the primary design of the project, all having
