With a capacity of 102,329, the facility has been described as both “intimate and intimidating,” and it undergone a number of updates and renovations over the years.
Pre-Construction Services
OSU seeks interested firms to submit proposals to provide pre-construction and construction services for work, including removing and replacing the existing waterproofing membrane, removing and replacing the expansion joint seals and sealants, and performing concrete repairs at the stadium.
The project is set to run Dec. 1, 2012 to Aug. 15, 2013.
During the pre-construction phase, the contractor at risk will work with the owner, design professionals and project team and will provide cost estimating, budgeting, constructability review, value engineering, scheduling, planning and other services.
Construction Project
As for the construction phase of the project, the parties will maintain an “open book” pricing method and the contractor will perform the project in accordance with construction documents.
The contractor “shall hold all subcontracts and shall be fully responsible for the means and methods of construction, project safety, project completion within the schedule agreed upon in the pre-construction phase, monitoring compliance with EDGE (Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity program), equal employment and prevailing wage requirements and submitting monthly reports of these activities to the owner.”
