Construction and renovation of ProMedica’s new Downtown Headquarters project in Toledo will soon wrap up.
ProMedica HQ: Toldeo’s Catalyst for Revitalization By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Construction and renovation of ProMedica’s new Downtown Headquarters project in Toledo will soon wrap up. The $80 million project is being managed by the Rudolph Libbe Group. The first group of nearly 1,000 employees of the Ohio health care provider will move into the two-building campus starting the weekend of Aug. 4, with three additional move-in phases to follow. The work encompasses a seven-story parking garage, the renovation of a historic steam plant built in 1896 and the renovation of the existing top three floors of the former Key
Bank building — all are connected. The new headquarters is located next to Toledo’s Promenade Park and the city’s riverfront. Ground was broken on Oct. 28, 2015 and final delivery of the entire project is scheduled for the end of August. “Our move to downtown will help ProMedica be more connected, more efficient and more effective as an organization,” said Randy Oostra, president and CEO of ProMedica. “At the same time we hope it will serve as a catalyst in the ongoing revitalization of downtown Toledo.” ProMedica, a not-for-profit healthcare organization serving northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, operates a 12hospital system and has more than 15,000 employees. ProMedica received federal, state and local support in the
form of tax credits, low interest loans and grants to support the historic preservation; and new development and job creation incentives to help fund part of the project. “ProMedica has incorporated a goal to engage minority, veteran and women-owned businesses in at least 15 percent of contract and subcontract work related to the headquarters construction,” according to a company press release. “It will additionally donate $200,000 to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s Diversified Contractors Accelerator Program.” The Steam Plant was designed by renowned architect Daniel Burnham, chief architect of the 1893 Chicago see PROMEDICA page 2

We performed a the move in set for Aug. 4 and 11 and the final moves in to ity lines, which was followed by renovation operations on great deal of investigative work so we did not disturb any the Steam Plant to take place on Aug. 18 and 25th. “We have close to 20 different locations we are moving the steam plant. A construction fence was installed around operational utilities. We used hydro-excavation, reviewed people from — with some locations housing one or two people to others holding several hundred,” he said. “Having everyone here will make things more efficient and will result in a lot of synergies. We call it ‘chance encounters,’ so if you’re getting a cup of coffee, you might see someone from finance and chat with them instead of sending an email or making a phone call. We also have many leased properties, so the new headquarters will reduce our costs. “With nearly 1,000 of our folks moved to downtown,” he said, “there will be more people going out for lunch and dinner and shopping — helping to bring more business activity to the area. We also have a few people interested in moving downtown, which has recently experience an influx of new businesses and residents.” The new headquarters was designed to be energy efficient. “They’re built to the current code, which is extremely energy efficient,” said Merritt, “through LED lighting and setbacks on the HVAC controls. We also have low-e glass and insulated walls.” The floor plans of each building are efficient, with the junction set-up in a triangular shape, including odd angles, which make for interesting offices and work stations. “Our architects have done a great job of ensuring that there is no wasted space and realizing a dream of ProMedica,” said Merritt. “The steam plant, certainly with the smokestacks, posed the biggest issue that cost us time and money to repair.

Also at the June meeting, the commission highlighted its financial results for 2016, including an $8.3 million increase in combined passenger and commercial vehicle revenue.
“Our 2016 financial results were strong and our efforts to provide a world class toll road are reinforced by our positive ratings by outside analysts. We are proud to know that we are again one of the highest rated toll roads in the nation and one of the best managed toll facilities in the world,” said Executive Director Randy Cole. The commission finished 2016 with toll revenue of approximately $288.44 million, a 2.95 percent increase compared to 2015. Approximately 43.5 million passenger cars and 11.4 million commercial vehicles drove a total of 3.04 billion miles on the Turnpike in 2016. The combined 54.9 million vehicle trips set a record for the second consecutive year and vehicles drove more than 3 billion miles for only the third time in Ohio Turnpike history. The results were reported in the Turnpike’s 2016 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Also significant with respect to the condition of the Ohio Turnpike’s financial standing, on May 10, Fitch Ratings affirmed its ratings on the commission’s outstanding revenue bonds. The ratings of “AA” for $492.2 million in senior lien revenue bonds and “A+” for $1.06 billion in junior lien revenue bonds, was announced with a stable outlook for both ratings (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission (OTIC) completed a review of its financial condition at its June meeting and determined there will be sufficient gross revenues for fiscal year 2017 to meet the requirements of its master trust agreements. In recent related activity, the commission received an unqualified audit opinion on its 2016 financial statements by the independent public accounting firm of Plante Moran of Columbus. Plante Moran had no findings and they found no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies during the audit process. In addition, there were no audit adjustments or proposed audit adjustments. The Ohio Auditor of State accepted Plante Moran’s audit report without modifications. In addition to the 2016 audit performed by Plante Moran, Ohio Auditor of State personnel separately performed agreed upon procedures to assist the commission in evaluating certain items in their accounting records and related compliance requirements. These agreed upon procedures primarily focused on the commission’s debt, personnel and payroll, and state infrastructure payments. No exceptions were identified in the performance of these additional procedures. Also at the June meeting, the commission highlighted its financial results for 2016, including an $8.3 million increase in combined passenger and commercial vehicle revenue. The increase was due to growth in vehicle miles traveled and a 2.7 percent toll rate increase.
