Professional design services are being acquired by the Contracting Authority under a separate contract. The A/E services
include facility condition assessments which will help DAS tailor the scope of work that will be implemented via the CMR
contract(s). The exact scope of work is not yet known at this time but may include building MEP end of life/maintenance
needs, aesthetic and tenant functional upgrades, roofing repairs/replacement, facade repairs/restoration, code/ADA upgrades.
The estimated per building costs should be regarded as preliminary approximations only and are subject to significant
adjustment based on DAS prioritization of work and actual authorized capital releases. The selected CMR teams may be
requested to assist/support the A/E's facility condition assessment field work, etc.
It is anticipated that the top six (6) ranked CMR teams will be shortlisted for Proposal Request. Multiple selections of CMR
firms are planned, and selection of a CMR team for one or multiple projects (sites) will be at the sole discretion of the
Contracting Authority and the Owner. Projects and associated services may be awarded and implemented on a slightly
staggered schedule, the timelines provided in section D should be regarded as a preliminary approximation only. Each
project/site will be executed under a separate CMR best value agreement and will result in a separate construction contract.
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.
B. Scope of Services
The selected Construction Manager at Risk ("CMR") firms, as a portion of their required Scope of Services and prior to
submitting their 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.
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

Request for Qualifications (CM at Risk Contract) continued
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.

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 anticipates selection of a short list of six candidates that it
considers to be the most qualified.
Request for Proposal: The short-listed firms shall be sent a Request for Proposal ("RFP") that will invite the shortlisted
firms to submit technical and pricing proposals elaborating on their qualifications and 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

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.
