Animal Research and Care Facility October 2013

Project Manager: Kurt Jensen

PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2010, a University of Washington work group charged with developing a master plan for the University’s core research facilities identified the need to develop future facilities capable of supporting the UW commitment to outstanding research, education, and animal care. The work group also identified the need to increase the animal census at the UW and to implement a centralized animal care and procedure operating model. During a recent and more in-depth UW Animal Care Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study, the proposed solutions to increase animal census capacity and the process for implementing the new centralized animal care and procedure operating model were examined in more detail. As a result of the study, the work group made several recommendations, including construction of a new Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF). The ARCF project is intended to provide a capacity solution for UW animal research for the next ten years.

The feasibility study identified a site in the Portage Bay Vista, just east of the William H. Foege Building, for a new, state-of-the-art ARCF. The concept plan for this facility is a two-story, below-grade building, connecting to both the Foege building and Hitchcock Hall at the first level below grade. The building will provide flexible housing for large and small animals (principally rodents) and non-human primates. The study also identified a preliminary program of space types, including laboratories, procedure rooms, imaging facilities, cage and equipment wash facilities, storage, and other support spaces. The planned size of the ARCF is 83,000 gross square feet (GSF).

Animal Research and Care Facility

The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca and Flad Architects (ZGF/Flad). ZGF is located in Seattle and Flad is based in San Francisco, California. The general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview Following are the current schedule milestones. Predesign: November 2012 to November 2013 Design: December 2013 to July 2015 Construction: July 2015 to July 2017 Occupancy: August 2017 Schedule Variance The consultant team delayed completion of the predesign report to provide time to complete a study to deliver chilled water and emergency power to the facility from a planned new central utility plant. The preliminary schedule has been extended by at least two months due to failure to receive budget approval at the September Board of Regents (BOR) meeting. CPO, the Office of Planning and Budgeting (OPB), and the Treasury Office are working to provide additional information requested by the BOR. The project schedule will be revised once budget approval is received from the BOR. Work Accomplished This Period CPO continued to work with the OPB, Health Sciences Administration (HSA), and Treasury Office to provide additional information regarding the planning and budgeting process for the project as requested by the BOR. A preliminary draft of the predesign report was issued by the design team for review and comments from UW process partners and stakeholders. Interviews were held with the most qualified candidates for the project commissioning authority, and Wilson Jones Commissioning was selected. Interviews were also held for the mechanical contractor/construction manager (MC/CM) and electrical contractor /construction manager (EC/CM). MacDonald Miller and the joint venture of Hermanson/BMWC were selected to provide final proposals for the MC/CM. Cochran and VECA were selected to submit final proposals for the EC/CM. Plans for Next 30 Days CPO will continue to work with OPB and other project stakeholders to provide information to the BOR necessary to achieve approval of the project budget. A summary presentation is planned for the Regents meeting. CPO will engage in negotiations for the design and commissioning contracts. The Request for Final Proposals for MC/CM and EC/CM services will be issued. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The total project cost estimate is $123.5 million (as shown in the Forecast column below). This proposed budget will be presented to the BOR for approval in November.

Animal Research and Care Facility

A cash flow projection will be added for this project after the budget and schedule are established. CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The site has subsurface water runoff from upper campus, and much of the finished building will be below the water table. This will require special consideration by the design team relating to the building envelope and waterproofing systems, as well as additional efforts by the contractor during construction. The sloping site provides opportunities to bring natural light into the facility at strategic locations to improve the work environment for the staff. The below-grade construction will connect to the Foege Building, the Foege loading dock, and potentially Hitchcock Hall. The project team will need to address the potential impact on these existing buildings and associated operations during construction. Locating the air intakes and building exhaust is a challenge with a below-grade building. The building design must respect long-term plans for expanding the underground facility and for a future above-grade building adjacent to Hitchcock Hall. The facility design will need to be flexible to adapt to future trends in animal research and to changing regulatory requirements. It will be challenging to find the right balance between optimum flexibility and project budget constraints. This project also presents opportunities to enhance and enliven the Portage Bay Vista open space that will be restored following the building construction and to improve the connection across NE Pacific Street to the upper campus.

Burke Museum Renovation October 2013

Project Manager: Randy Everett

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The existing Burke Museum, constructed in 1962, is a two-story brick building with 68,916 gross square feet (GSF) of space. This project will address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing building, which is no longer adequate to meet the programmatic vision, capacity for research collections, public outreach, and education missions of the Burke Museum. Through pre-schematic design review, it was determined that, rather than renovating the existing building, it will be more cost effective to construct a new facility nearby. Replacing the existing building will significantly reduce complications and costs to the operation of the museum during construction, avoiding the need to move collections twice, limit access to collections, and close operations during construction. A new building will more easily accommodate the museum’s program and will enhance connections to the community and neighborhood. It will also be located and configured to better anticipate potential future development on the site and have much stronger appeal to potential donors. The new building will celebrate the museum’s goals to: a) foster understanding and inspire wonder about the Northwest and our place in the world; b) emphasize the power of object-based learning to inspire curiosity, generate new knowledge, and foster understanding of the role collections play in our shared natural and cultural heritage; and c) emphasize the connection between people and the environment in every aspect of the museum, from research, exhibits, and programming to the museum’s building, grounds, and business practices. The project is expected to result in an architecturally noteworthy facility that reflects the museum's core institutional values of sustainability, excellence, respect, stewardship, creativity, and community engagement; makes the collections and research accessible and engaging; integrates a cross-disciplinary approach to achieving the museum's vision; and facilitates meaningful visitor engagement with exhibitions, on-site programs, public amenities, and outreach services. Accessibility will be integrated into the new facility to provide current ADA compliance. The project will also address issues of long-term

Burke Museum Renovation

flexibility in the design of galleries and public spaces and will implement sustainable design practices to achieve a facility that functions efficiently and can be maintained with limited resources. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum is the desired certification goal. The planned size of the new building is 110,000 GSF. The proposed building site, directly west of the existing museum, is within a development site identified in the UW Master Plan. The revised site plan will permit construction of a future building on the site of the current museum. The project architect is Olson Kundig Architects (OKA), located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview Predesign August 2009 – July 2011 Design November 2012 – October 2015 Construction December 2015 – June 2017 Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Progress continued on updating the Project Agreement, completing Building Committee assignments, formulating interpretive vision and strategy for exhibit design, and drafting the consultant contract for architectural services. Plans for Next 30 Days Fundraising feasibility and verification will continue, in an effort to guide project budget goals. Support activities will continue, including site, geotechnical, hazardous material, archaeological, and cultural/historical surveys. Work will continue on finalizing the Project Agreement and consultant contract for architectural services. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The state appropriated $3.5 million for design funding in the 2012 Supplemental Capital Budget. The appropriation is based on the state providing two-thirds of the design funds, with one-third to be provided by grant and private donor sources. The total project budget is to be determined. CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time.

Burke Museum Renovation

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Combining substantial funding from grants and donors with state funds can add uncertainty to the project schedule and budget. The potential of the whole site will be considered, maximizing this corner of the campus for its urbanity, visibility, and identity. It has been decided to design the new facility without below grade parking, while maximizing opportunities to provide future access to adjacent below-grade parking. Evaluation of the substantial pedestrian traffic across the site, which currently moves through the existing parking areas, is also being conducted. It will be challenging to achieve a LEED Platinum certification within the constraints of the project budget. The project, at a minimum, will meet LEED Silver certification. It will be a major challenge to plan for the displacement of staff and collections during the transition phase when they move from the existing facility into the new building.

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor October 2013

Project Manager: Randy Everett

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor (BGTC), constructed in 1978, is a Rails-to-Trails bicycle and pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through the Seattle Campus west of Montlake Boulevard and north of NE Pacific Street. The trail is widely used by bicycle commuters coming to the University and passing through campus, and it serves as the backbone of the regional bicycling and pedestrian network in the northern part of Seattle. These multiple uses and interfaces between the campus community and the BGTC create conflicts and safety issues that need to be addressed for effective pedestrian and bicycle movement on and around the trail. The number of users has far exceeded initial projections. This project will develop design documents for the entire length of the University-owned portion of the BGTC and will construct Phase 1 - Campus Reach, which will improve the trail from a point just west of the Rainier Vista to the east side of the 15th Avenue NE intersection. Phase 2 is the remainder of the trail within the University. Phase 2 work is limited to the design for now. It is anticipated that construction work to improve the remaining sections will be accomplished in multiple phases, as funding allows. The current project budget is $6.1 million. Initial estimates indicate a total project cost of approximately $15-$16 million to complete construction of improvements on all University-owned portions of the trail, not including the Pend Oreille underpass, estimated separately at approximately $6-$7 million. The project landscape architect is PLACE Studio, located in Portland, Oregon.

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The client requested a mock-up prior to bidding due to user feedback regarding the new trail segment that was completed as part of the Mercer Court project. This delays construction of Phase 1 – Campus Reach by several months. Phase 1 will advertise for construction bids in early 2014. The design work for Phase 2 has been delayed due to the priority of the Phase 1 bid schedule. Work Accomplished This Period Mock-up options were developed and reviewed as requested by UW Transportation Services. The objective is to incorporate any lessons learned during preparation of the Phase 1 bid documents prior to continuing design development (DD) on Phase 2. Scoping of the Pend Oreille intersection continued. Plans for Next 30 Days Construction of the mock-up will begin at the east end of the new trail segment at Mercer Court. After the mock-up is finished, it will be opened for observation. The design team will continue to respond to final review comments and will incorporate value engineering ideas into the bid documents in order to align the project’s forecast cost with the approved budget in preparation for requesting Project Review Board approval to bid. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $6.1 million, which covers the design of both phases, plus Phase 1 construction. The current cost forecast is ten percent over budget. Value engineering ideas continue to be explored, in addition to developing bid alternates. The project is funded by UW Transportation Services (UWTS). CPO is discussing the project forecast

10


with UWTS to see if scope reductions are necessary or if additional funding will be provided.

CHANGES IN SCOPE A Pend Oreille underpass is being discussed as an addition to the Phase 2 design phase. The cost of this work is not included above. PLACE is developing a design proposal for this additional work. Once this has scope has been approved by the client, an approval from the Board of Regents will be requested. BUYOUT STATUS A construction contract for the Phase 1 - Campus Reach will be bid and awarded in January and February. SAFETY STATISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time.

11


OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES UW Transportation Services would like to include the Pend Oreille underpass as part of this project. The Pend Oreille scope of work is estimated at $6-$7 million (project cost). Additional discussions will be conducted before adding the proposed scope. The potential for contaminated soils remediation has proven to be a budget challenge. Phasing and pedestrian traffic will drive the construction schedule. Alternate bus stops will need to be addressed, as well as overpass shutdowns.

12

Fluke Hall Renovation October 2013

Project Manager: Kurt Jensen Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will renovate the interior of Fluke Hall so that it will serve as a long-term core UW research facility, supporting academic research, industry partnership, and a commercialization incubator. The scope of work includes upgrades to the building infrastructure (HVAC, plumbing, and electrical) to support laboratory and cleanroom tenant improvements on the first and second floors. Portions of this building will remain occupied during construction, requiring the work to be performed in multiple phases. The project architect is HDR Architecture. The general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Sellen Construction. Both firms are located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Preliminary Schedule Overview Predesign: April 2012 to November 2012 Design: December 2012 to March 2014 Construction: February 2014 to July 2015 A final schedule for the phased construction will be established during the next few months, with input from the GC/CM and mechanical and electrical subcontractors. Schedule Variance The scheduled date for completion of construction is three months behind the original project schedule developed in the predesign phase. The delay was caused by the need for CPO, the Office of Planning and Budgeting (OPB), Campus Engineering, and the clients to resolve differences between the scope, the approved budget, and the cost forecast.

13

Fluke Hall Renovation

Work Accomplished This Period Design development (DD) activities continued, including detailed design for laboratories and cleanrooms, refining layout of new roof top equipment, developing models for wind tunnel air flow analysis, conducting field investigations to verify as-built conditions, and confirming construction phasing plans. Work continued on developing qualifications and requirements for prequalification of the cleanroom subcontractors. Plans for Next 30 Days DD activities will continue through the end of December. At the conclusion of this phase, permit documents will be ready to submit to the Seattle Department of Planning and Development for plan review. The design and construction team will continue to refine cost estimates and look for additional cost saving opportunities as the detailed design develops. Activities associated with prequalification of the clean room contractors will continue. A meeting is scheduled with the City of Seattle to discuss phasing and occupancy plans during construction. The value engineering recommendations included an alternative energy code compliance path, and the purpose of this meeting is to determine whether the city will approve it. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The Board of Regents approved a project budget of $28.5 million in May 2012 with the understanding that this preliminary budget may change following completion of the schematic design phase. The predesign study indicated all of the planned scope may not be achievable within the available funding, which was later confirmed. Cost reduction alternatives have been developed through value engineering (VE). The project team has agreed to accept the majority of the VE recommendations, resulting in a total project cost forecast and new target budget of $31.5 million, as shown in the Forecast column below.

14

Fluke Hall Renovation

CHANGES IN SCOPE Scope changes in response to the VE recommendations will be included in the design development phase to keep the construction cost within the new target budget. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES This project presents an opportunity to improve the quality and reliability of the mechanical and electrical systems supporting the cleanroom and laboratory uses and to reduce ongoing facility operations and maintenance costs. Use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the collaborative GC/CM process during design and construction enhance the opportunity for the design team to maximize the project scope, quality, and schedule to avoid changes during construction. Challenges include successfully implementing the scope and cost reduction measures required to bring the project cost within budget, balancing the allocation of available funds between building infrastructure improvements and tenant improvements for the two building occupant groups, and increasing mechanical and electrical system capacities within the existing building envelope. The requirement for the existing occupants to remain in the building during construction is a significant challenge for the design team and the contractors. Developing a phasing plan and strategy to allow for continued operation of the labs and cleanrooms during the renovation is complicating the design and puts added pressure on the project budget and schedule.

Housing–Lander Hall Replacement October 2013

Senior Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker Senior Construction Manager: Steve Folk

Perspective of Lander Hall, looking toward southwest PROJECT DESCRIPTION Lander Hall is located on NE Campus Parkway and Brooklyn Avenue NE, two blocks west of the main Seattle campus. The building was constructed in 1957. The predesign study demonstrated that Lander Hall’s seismic deficiencies, failing infrastructure, and high-rise code requirements would be more expensive to correct than constructing replacement student housing. This project replaces Lander Hall with a new seven-story building above a loading dock and underground parking garage. Replacement of Lander Hall with new construction allows for an increased number of student residence units, significant infrastructure improvements, better integration of Lander Hall into the vision of the west of 15th Avenue master plan, and an opportunity to improve the student life experience in the residence hall. The new facility will total 242,070 gross square feet and provide 652 beds. The sustainability goal is to achieve at least Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Mithun is the project architect and landscape architect. Walsh Construction is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM). Both firms are located in Seattle.

17

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project remains on schedule based upon the October 2012 revised construction schedule. The revised completion date of October 15 for the lower three floors was achieved and the project is on schedule for November 13, as planned, for the residential floors. Overall, the project is forecast to complete eight months ahead of the original schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The lower three floors were substantially completed as planned on October 15. Furniture move-in and kitchen equipment start-up began and will continue through November. Residential floors are being completed from the top down, with all floors in the final stages of punchlist. Building official inspections are complete in preparation of the final Seattle Fire Department testing the first week of November. Sidewalk improvements around the perimeter of the building were completed. Plans for the Next 30 Days It is anticipated the certificate of occupancy (CO) for the upper residential floors of the building will be received by November 13. This should coincide with the substantial completion date for owner occupancy, after which furniture move-in and equipment start-up will commence. All exterior work will be completed, including pedestrian access to portions of 12th Avenue NE.

18

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project budget is $77 million, which includes furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), to be procured by Housing and Food Services (HFS). During the design phase, a portion of the FFE budget was shifted to construction to cover the costs of several scope changes requested by HFS. There are no changes in the cost forecast from last month. The construction costs are over budget, with the current project forecast at $77.8 million. HFS will provide additional funds, as necessary, to cover the increased costs resulting from the added scope. Energy conservation rebates from Seattle City Light will help close the revenue gap. To the extent possible, the base scope of work will be managed within the existing budget. Most of the project funding is from the University’s internal lending program, supplemented by HFS funding and energy conservation rebates.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS The buyout is complete. The awarded subcontract values exceeded the original estimate by five percent. Value engineering change orders reduced the overrun to approximately three percent.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Development of the coordinated shop drawings for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) work during the design phase helped to reduce the cost of change orders during the construction phase. Preliminary indications are that the MEP change orders are approximately 50 percent less than Alder Hall, an earlier completed residence hall. The accident-related work suspension and below-grade sewer main replacement delayed completion of the café and parking garage floors to October 2013. This made it challenging to complete the project in time for occupancy at the start of Winter Quarter 2014.

Housing–Maple and Terry Halls October 2013

Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker Construction Manager: Steve Folk

Perspective of Maple Hall, looking toward northwest from Lincoln Ave PROJECT DESCRIPTION Terry Hall and the 1101 Café/Center building are located on NE Campus Parkway, immediately west of Lander Hall. The buildings were constructed in 1952 and now need substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements. The original renovation concept for this project encountered issues similar to Lander Hall. Costly seismic and infrastructure upgrades, as well as current high-rise code requirements, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. This also presents an opportunity to better integrate these facilities into the vision of the west of 15th Avenue NE master plan and to significantly improve the student life experience in the residence halls. The current project scope includes demolition of the existing Center Building and Terry Hall and construction of two new residential buildings named Maple Hall and Terry Hall. The new seven-story buildings will include five stories of housing consisting of two-bedroom suites with private bathrooms. The lower two floors of each building will be occupied with Housing and Food Services (HFS) administrative offices, common space for students, and some additional two-bedroom suites. A below-grade parking garage connected to the Lander Hall garage and loading dock will extend below Maple and Terry Halls. The new facility will total 390,000 gross square feet and provide 1,090 beds. The sustainability goal is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Mithun is the project architect and landscape architect. W.G. Clark is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM). Both firms are located in Seattle

Housing-Maple and Terry Halls


Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period The Housing and Food Service residential occupancy for Autumn Quarter 2013 exceeded the requirements previously established by the Board of Regents (BOR) to continue with the Maple and Terry Project. This information was reported to the BOR at the October meeting, so the project will proceed to construction. Subcontract bidding progressed as planned with several bid packages successfully bid. The contract with W.G. Clark was amended to include preconstruction service for the demolition, earthwork, shoring, and concrete scopes of work recently bid. On-site survey work was completed to further define the contaminated soil on the north side of the site. The perchloroethylene (PCE) plume is smaller than anticipated, resulting in less risk and lower costs associated with disposal. The design team issued several addendum items to the construction document set. A final conformed design package is planned for December. Having conformed design documents prior to starting construction will reduce the risk associated with change order cost. Plans for Next 30 Days Bids will be received for the remaining subcontract packages, and the GC/CM construction contract will be prepared. The 3D building information model (BIM) will advance to the final coordination phase. The site logistics and wayfinding signage will progress. Meetings will be held to better define the site art within the limits of the available budget. Outreach events will continue with the neighboring community.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Early selection of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors, along with early bidding for the sprinkler and storefront glazing system, has allowed those subcontractors to participate in the completion of the construction documents. This early involvement is improving coordination of the work, which will reduce change orders during the construction phase. The budget continues to be an area of concern. The multi-family housing market in the Seattle area is experiencing a construction boom. This has the potential to reduce the number of subcontractors available to bid this project, which may result in higher-than-anticipated bids for the work. As more of the project is bid, the value of this risk decreases. Based on soil and groundwater testing, perchloroethylene (PCE) was discovered in a monitoring well on the site. Remediation will increase the cost for excavation and possibly long-term treatment of the groundwater in the footing drains.

Southwest Campus Central Utility Plant October 2013

Project Manager: Steve Harrison PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is envisioned to be a building of approximately 17,200 gross square feet (GSF) containing generators, chillers, cooling towers, and associated equipment. The building will be constructed above the existing campus utility tunnel, allowing direct access to the tunnel for distribution of electrical cabling and processed chilled water (PCW) piping. When fully built out, the plant will have capacity to produce 12 megawatts (MW) of emergency power and 6,000 tons of PCW. Phase 1 will construct the Central Utility Plant (CUP) building, install equipment to produce approximately half of the full capacity (6 MW and 3,000 tons), provide space and infrastructure for the future full build-out, and run distribution systems sized for the full capacity to the south campus. Emergency power and PCW will be distributed to the Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF), at which point the ARCF project will pick up those services for connection and distribution within the facility. Services will also be provided to the new UW Police Department (UWPD) facility to be constructed immediately to the north of the SW CUP. The SW CUP is envisioned to be an architecturally significant building, given its prominent location on the southwest campus. Careful attention will be given to ensuring that the design fits contextually with the surrounding community and is representative of its importance as a gateway building at the southwest approach to the campus. The design will incorporate a demonstration display element that will enable access by students and the public to gain an understanding of the University’s commitment to the environment and energy conservation. The Board of Regents authorized use of the design/build (D/B) contracting method for this project. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview Design/Builder Selection October 2013 to March 2014 Design and Construction April 2014 to May 2016 Plant in Service June 2016 Schedule Variance The design/build selection phase needs careful development and coordination with UW stakeholders and clients. The selection phase has been extended to accommodate this. Work Accomplished This Period Development of contract scope for the owner’s engineer was completed, and URS Corporation was selected.. Planning continued for the D/B team selection process. CPO began gathering information and documentation for the D/B Request for Proposals (RFP) and preparing for additional consultant selections.

39

Southwest Campus Central Utility Plant

Plans for Next 30 Days CPO will continue to develop the content of the D/B RFP and will begin contracting for geotechnical and other professional services. Preparation will continue for the environmental permitting process. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget of $30.5 million was approved by the BOR this month, and the cost forecast is currently on budget. The University will provide $8 million of the project funding, and the balance will be funded through the internal lending program.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time.

UW Bothell Student Activities Center October 2013

Project Manager: Steve Tatge

Conceptual site plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION The University of Washington Bothell (UWB), in partnership with Cascadia Community College (CCC), proposes to build a new Student Activities Center (SAC) to provide spaces for food service, student leadership offices and clubs, fitness and recreation, casual study, and, potentially, an events center. UWB has a growing enrollment of over 3,800 students (3,300 FTE) and has rapidly evolved into a four-year institution after initially accepting only upperclassmen and graduate students. The campus recently opened its first student housing facility, and newly leased and renovated space in the Beardslee Building has further expanded the campus footprint. Given the enrollment growth and expanded facilities, the student population is currently underserved by traditional campus amenities, such as a student union building and fitness facilities. The proposed building, to be located immediately south of (and connected to) the existing North Creek Events Center (NCEC), is expected to be approximately 35,000 gross square feet. LMN Architects of Seattle is the project architect. The general contractor/construction manager is Skanska USA Building, Inc. of Seattle.

Schedule Variance The D/B team’s schedule continued to be impacted by contaminated groundwater conditions, but a revised schedule has been issued, which still achieves occupancy earlier than the original plan approved by the Board of Regents. Work Accomplished This Period Additional geotechnical exploration was performed, and a final geotechnical report was issued. Detailed work on structural design of the shoring wall and soil nails commenced. The D/B team, working with Environmental Health and Safety, finalized the approach for managing soil vapors and contaminated groundwater throughout construction. A letter summarizing the groundwater conditions and the proposal for how the building design will address those conditions was issued to the Department of Ecology for review and comment. A permit application for sitework and utilities was submitted to the City of Tacoma for review, and the structural permit application was prepared. A final design review meeting was held with the Building Committee, and a separate review meeting was held with the University Architect and Landscape Architect. Coordination meetings were held on the project site to review details of site electrical and data/communication services. UWT began work to provide new switchgear to serve the project site. Initial cost estimates for the impact of the groundwater issue were developed. The building finish floor elevation was raised three feet to address a discovered condition with an existing site retaining wall, and this has a positive impact as regards the contaminated groundwater and soils.

64


Plans for Next 30 Days The D/B team will focus on development of the structural permit submittal and completion of the architectural documents for the building permit. Detailed coordination meetings will be held with UW Technology and the YMCA tech staff regarding the building’s IT infrastructure. The costs related to the groundwater issue will be further refined. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $20 million, exclusive of financing costs. The cost of addressing the discovered groundwater conditions will be addressed with additional funding, but the full team continues to work to minimize any cost and schedule impact.

CHANGES IN SCOPE As noted above, the shoring and storm water drainage approach will need to be modified due to the discovery of contaminated groundwater. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable to this project.

Senior Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker Senior Construction Manager: Jeff Angeley

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct Phase 1 (Gathering Building) of the wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ (Intellectual House) project. The name wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ comes from the Lushootseed language (traditional language of the Puget Salish people) and is phonetically pronounced "wah shleb alt." The building vision is to be a contemporary interpretation of longhouse style traditions of the Salish people of the Pacific Northwest. Phase 1 will construct a multiservice learning and gathering space for Native American students, faculty, and staff, which will provide the opportunity for various cultures and communities to come together in a supportive and welcoming education environment to share their knowledge and their cultures with one another. The Gathering Building will encompass 8,340 gross square feet of space and include a large gathering hall, conference room, office, teaching/warming kitchen, and other related support spaces. The outdoor spaces include programmed gathering areas, outdoor cooking space, and educational gardens with native plantings that will be used in teaching indigenous science, art, and medicine. The architect is Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects, located in Seattle.

67

wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ (Intellectual House)


Schedule Variance Design was completed September 30, one month later than originally planned. Construction bids received this month were substantially over budget, which necessitates scope revision and rebidding. Preliminary indications are that this will cause a three-month delay to the start of construction. Occupancy is forecast to be in Winter Quarter 2015. Work Accomplished This Period Construction bids were opened on October 23 as planned. The bids came in 36 percent above the available budget. The scope of work will be revised and the project will be rebid. The ground-breaking ceremony was held on October 25, and the N-6 parking lot has been closed as planned. Plans for Next 30 Days The scope of the project will be revised, aligning the work to the available budget. The design team will work closely with its cost estimator and the subconsultants to develop a design that achieves the project goals within the limits of the available funding. The building permit is scheduled to be approved by mid-November. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $5.85 million. Due to the bid overrun, the project design is being revised to fit within the available funds.

68


CHANGES IN SCOPE As described above, scope revisions will be required in order to meet the project budget. BUYOUT STATUS The goal is to rebid the project with a bid opening in January 2015. SAFETY STATISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The project bid is so far over budget that it will be a challenge to reduce the scope and still preserve the major program elements. When completed this project will be a unique landmark on the campus and it will be important for it to fit into a natural landscape that supports the nature of the building and the culture it represents. Opportunities for this project include the following: • Make Native people “visible” on the UW campus. • Offer a meeting place for UW Native American students, faculty and staff.

69


• Visibly manifest and symbolize the importance of Native traditions in the institutional culture.

• Share knowledge of indigenous Northwest people within the UW community and among the tribes in the area and the broader community.

• Enhance recruitment and retention of Native students, faculty, and staff. • Serve tribes with resources and access to the University community. • Provide appropriate learning spaces for various UW courses and programs. • Educate the community with respect to cultures and values of indigenous people. • Enhance the campus experience for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
