Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), through its Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (O&G),

is responsible for regulating Ohio’s oil and natural gas industry while safeguarding public health, environmental quality,

and the state’s natural resources.

O&G operates two support facilities located at:

• Barlow: 591 Warrior Road, Vincent, OH 45784

• Zanesville: 5880 Memory Road, Zanesville, OH 43701

ODNR is issuing this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to secure professional Architectural and Engineering (A/E) design

and construction administration services for renovation and expansion projects at both locations. Each site will be bid as

separate construction projects.

Barlow Renovations

Originally constructed for the Division of Forestry, the Barlow location now serves as a general office facility for O&G.

Planned improvements aim to enhance functionality, efficiency, and comfort. Key objectives include:

• Space Reconfiguration: Redesign the layout to create a more collaborative work environment, potentially adding a

dedicated conference room.

• Infrastructure Upgrades: Modernize the HVAC system and improve insulation to increase energy efficiency and

occupant comfort.

Zanesville Expansion and Modernization

To accommodate growing operational needs, the Zanesville location will undergo building expansion and targeted

upgrades. Project scope includes:

• Expansion: Increase the building footprint to provide additional office space and a new conference room for staff

collaboration.

• Building Improvements: Replace aging roof and windows to address wear and improve energy efficiency.
