Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Prime AE Group, Inc. for the design of renovating floors 3-6 of the Columbus Public Health Building located at 240 Parson Avenue.
Floors 3 and 4 have a total square footage of approximately 57,000 sq. ft. and floors 5 and 6 have an approximate square footage of 16,000 sq. ft., bringing the total square footage of renovation to 73,000 sq ft. All of the floors, except the 6th floor, are in their original 1870’s building material condition, thus necessitating that all floors be brought up to current building code. This project also includes a study of the south dorm as well as a study of how to expand parking onsite. These renovations are being performed in order to accommodate the Department of Health's expansion of services and staffing.
The scope of the work includes design and architectural and engineering services, which include but are not limited to, a facility condition assessment of structural and hazardous materials, design of the mechanicals/electrical/plumbing (MEP), security, fire alarm, technology, elevator, parking study, furnitture/fixtures/equipment (FFE), signage, and interior remediation of historic features.
