Project Description The University of Toledo ("UToledo") is soliciting qualifications for professional ArchitecUEngineer ("A/E") Services for the renovation of the Department of Laboratory Animal Resources ("OLAR"), the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology ("MMI") biosafety level 3 ("BSL3"), and animal BSL3 ("ABSL3") laboratory in the basement of the Health Education Building ("HEB"). UToledo has been Congressionally delegated a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Extramural Construction Grant for this project. The UToledo Health Science Campus ("HSC") is home to the College of Medicine and Life Sciences ("COM LS"), College of Nursing, and College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The UToledo HSC HEB was originally built in 1975 and is a four-story building that serves multiple purposes for UToledo and COMLS. OLAR is housed in the HEB basement and is a centralized vivarium with animal housing and procedure spaces. Within OLAR, COMLS and MMI operate a BSL3 and ABSL3 laboratory, to work with highly infectious and dangerous pathogens. The UToledo BSL3/A-BSL3 has been in operation by MMI and continuously certified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") since 1999. UToledo and the COMLS have made a number of capital improvements, renovations, and improvements to both the HEB and OLAR over the last 48 years, including a 367 SF expansion of the BSL3/A-BSL3 in 2001 to add a new ABSL3 space and OLAR has purchased over $330k in new animal racks over the past 7 years. However, two major limitations exist: [1] The current BSL3/A-BSL3 is too small to recruit new faculty or to accommodate additional research projects. [2] OLAR needs to renovate existing spaces to be more efficient, provide additional housing and procedure rooms, and create isolated rooms for specialized research needs (e.g., microbiome research). A summary of the scope of work includes: [1] Expand the UToledo BSL3/A-BSL3 facility into adjacent OLAR space, creating 3 new biocontainment suites for Tier 1 Select Agent BSL3/A-BSL3 research, more than doubling the size of the current BSL3/A-BSL3 facility (1480 SF of new BSL3/A-BSL3 space). This new Tier 1 Select Agent space will contain its own pass-through autoclave (enhances biosafety by providing a backup to the existing BSL3/A-BSL3 pass-through autoclave), decontamination chamber (for chemical disinfection of contaminated equipment), and shared equipment spaces. [2] Renovate the existing BSL3/A-BSL3 space (2 rooms; 1099 SF) and associated entry/exit (2 rooms; 115 SF) into 3 new biocontainment suites for non-Select Agent research and create a new shared entry/exit space for both Select Agent and non-Select Agent BSL3/A-BSL3 spaces with gowning, de-gowning, and decontamination shower areas. In addition to the 3 new suites, the non-Select Agent BSL3/A-BSL3 will contain a pass-through autoclave (will relocate the existing BSL3/ABSL3 autoclave) and shared equipment spaces. [3] Remodel 21 existing OLAR rooms, unused/redundant hallways, and underutilized spaces (14,350 GSF) into new multi-purpose rooms for either animal procedures and/or animal housing, including the creation of a new isolation suite that could be used for germ-free/microbiome studies. Preliminary Program of Requirements (POR), budgeting, and schematic design have been completed as part of the NIST grant application. This information will be provided to the short-listed firms prior to interview and selection. Selected A/E will begin with a brief POR/Schematic Design Verification/Review and then move directly into Design Development. Construction will be a phased approach with a duration of approximately 12 months.

B. Scope of Services C.
