HEAT PLANT RENOVATION

Oregon State University is seeking a Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC) to execute a comprehensive renovation of its historic Heat Plant and associated campus improvements. The scope includes hazardous‑material abatement, full building renovation (potentially adding floors), site logistics, civil works on Benton Place, Community Slope Phase 3, and exterior refurbishment of the McAlexander Fieldhouse, with an optional classroom conversion in Cascade Hall. The project is funded up to $84.15 M, divided among the five major work packages, and will be delivered via a competitive two‑step RFP process. The contract will be awarded to LEASE CRUTCHER LEWIS, with construction slated to begin in early July 2025. Key elements include: • CM/GC delivery requiring pre‑construction services, schedule development, and a detailed site‑logistics/safety plan. • Mandatory compliance with Oregon public‑works bonding, BOLI prevailing‑wage, and OSU diversity/subcontracting goals. • Multiple project components (heat‑plant, campus corridor, civil improvements, historic façade work) each with separate cost caps. • A rigorous evaluation framework (100‑point technical score + 60‑point presentation score) and required attendance at the March 21 2024 pre‑proposal conference.
