Applebaum MRI Site Renovation

The Wayne State University Applebaum MRI project calls for a construction‑management firm to oversee the complete renovation and fit‑out of a new MRI suite, associated support spaces, and a student lounge. The CM will provide pre‑construction services, develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) within a $1.75 M construction cost limitation, and manage all trades through construction, testing, and close‑out. Key deliverables include a detailed schedule, Level‑of‑Effort fee proposal, compliance with university wage rates, insurance requirements, and adherence to extensive fire‑life‑safety and RF‑shielding specifications. The contract was awarded to Roncelli, Inc., with the substantial‑completion deadline set for 26 April 2024. • Scope covers demolition, structural upgrades, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire‑alarm, low‑voltage, and specialized RF‑shielded MRI installation. • CM must submit a single PDF proposal ≤ 30 pages, meet a mandatory pre‑bid meeting (Nov 10 2023), and comply with Michigan FOIA and university policies. • Budget constraint is a $1.75 M construction cost limitation; CM fee is based on a percentage of the Cost of Work.
