Ball Hall Renewal on the University of Massachusetts Lowell Campus

The OPM services will include all activities necessary or appropriate to efficiently manage the design, construction, commissioning and closeout of the Project. The firm engaged by the Authority pursuant to this RFP will be responsible to and will provide services to the Authority. As the Authority’s OPM, the OPM will work with the Authority, and with any University representatives designated by the Authority, in performing services in connection with the Project. The OPM will manage all aspects of a Project from the selection of the design team through the close out and warranty period of each specific Project. The campus is intending to invest additional funds into this building as they become available, that will address deferred maintenance, provide MEP upgrades and envelope improvements and improve program space for Engineering students and faculty. Currently Phase 1 of this project is intended to be funded up to $30 million. Final project scope and the number of phases will depend on if and when additional funding becomes available for this project. If additional funding becomes available, it is the intent of the Authority to either increase the funding of Phase 1 or design/construct multiple subsequent phases for this project with the OPM procured under this RFP, if it is in the best interest of the Authority to do so.
