Project Overview

A. Project Description

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) intends to select a Construction Manager (CM) / Owner’s Agent to

provide services supporting ODNR’s multi-year Capital Improvement Program. Owner Agent Services will support the

Division of Engineering (DOE) in activities including assessments, master planning, strategic planning, design,

bidding/procurement, construction administration, and project close-out for construction projects across multiple ODNR

divisions, including Parks & Watercraft, Wildlife, Natural Areas & Preserves, and Forestry.

ODNR’s Capital Improvement Program encompasses a wide range of engineering and architectural projects, including

utility infrastructure upgrades, water and wastewater treatment plant rehabilitations, roadway and parking improvements,

dam and canal rehabilitations, shoreline protection, and various building construction and renovation efforts. Projects

occur statewide at parks, nature preserves, forests, wildlife areas, and other ODNR facilities. Delivery methods may

include General Contracting (GC), Construction Manager at Risk (CMR), and Design-Build (DB).

Program-level services include compiling, tracking, and reporting data using ODNR’s Project Manager Hub and OAKS CI

systems. Any supplemental platforms must be web-based, compatible with State of Ohio IT and security requirements,

and capable of interfacing with commonly used software such as Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and Access. All data

generated under this contract remains property of the State and must be provided in accessible, convertible formats at the

conclusion of the agreement.

Planning and Design-level services include conducting or reviewing facility condition assessments, reviewing cost

estimates, performing constructability reviews, developing project schedules, and supporting DOE project managers

through document preparation, meeting attendance, and site visits. The Owner Agent may also support development and

management of ODNR design guidelines.

Bidding/Procurement and Construction-level services include assisting with bid package development, reviewing bids and

bidders, attending progress meetings, preparing field reports, reviewing contractor pay applications and change orders,

coordinating materials and communications among project stakeholders, and supporting project close-out procedures.

Additional project management services include schedule development and monitoring, budget tracking, stakeholder

communication, risk management, and documentation activities to help ensure successful project delivery. The Owner

Agent will also provide project coordination and administrative services such as file management, contract routing,

checklist preparation, pay application processing, fixed-asset reporting, and bid process support.

The selected firm will be eligible for contract award for the period beginning on or around October 2026 and ending June

2029, with potential renewal options. The selected consultant may not be an affiliate of any GC, A/E, CMR, or DB involved

in ODNR projects during the contract period. ODNR retains the right to evaluate and restrict participation to avoid conflicts

of interest.

While ODNR expects centralized support at its Fountain Square complex (2045 Morse Rd., Columbus, OH 43229),

statewide travel will be required. For scoring purposes related to proximity, the Fountain Square complex will serve as the

project site.
