Column and interior shear walls are in the process of being formed and placed. Work continues to be scheduled to accommodate research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building with the contractor bringing forces in at 4am and suspending operations by 3pm.

• New Burke Museum Renovation – The 50% construction drawings were published by the design consultants. Skanska commenced a constructability review and began estimating structural, mechanical and electrical scopes of work. Estimating of the remaining project components will be initiated when the 50% construction specifications are published in early September. The project team evaluated procurement options for early subcontractor involvement. Due to the uncertainty of the project funding, Skanska recommended deferring early bidding for the project until the funding was secured. The project team conducted pull planning sessions to model the completion of design, procurement, permitting, and contracting assuming the remaining funding for the project is obtained in early spring of 2016. Skanska, Sparling and WSP continued to resolve key scope details regarding the delivery of campus utilities to the new building and the required modification to the tunnel serving the existing museum. The City of Seattle completed the flow test of the fire hydrants; MKA will review the results and advise on any required changes to the scope of work. After informal review with UWAC, the university decided not to modify the southwest corner of the museum for a major signage component. The design team will continue to evaluate signage and museum identity opportunities along 15th Avenue and the new museum’s public entrance.

• North Campus Student Housing – The schematic design phase was completed with SD review comments forwarded to the design team. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed

• UW Police Department Facility – Construction continues with placement of the roof deck concrete PT slab. Mechanical ducts and plumbing are being installed on the lower basement level. The motor court site wall footings are installed. Site utilities for water, sewer, and storm were installed.

• Tacoma Urban Solutions Center – The design team reached a milestone of 100% design development for the core and shell and 30% schematic design for the interiors. In mid August the project team reviewed the design for quality control. Mortenson developed an estimate of the complete project based on these design documents. Early reviews of the estimate show the project to be on target. The faculty focus groups reviewed the schematic design of the interiors and provided

vi

comments. UW T Information Technology and Campus Planning reviewed the audio visual needs for classrooms. The project team also met with UW Tacoma Facilities to review specific building operation needs. Access to the Old Spaghetti Factory allowed for further investigation work, including regulated building materials, surveying the floor elevations and researching the best location for the building entrance.

• West Campus Utility Plant – Installation of new chilled-water distribution system piping began and a substantial portion of the work that can be completed before removing the existing pipelines is done. City comments on the building permit were received and responded to. Detailed design was ongoing in support of trade work packages, the plant electrical design and permit application, and the sequence-of-operations including controls and instrumentation. A draft commissioning plan was published and is under UW review. Procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning were ongoing and continue.

Animal Research and Care Facility Project #203928

August 2015 Project Manager: Kurt Jensen

Construction Manager: Jeff Angeley

PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2010, the University of Washington identified the need to develop future facilities capable of supporting the UW’s commitment to outstanding research, education and animal care. Also identified was the need to increase the animal census at the UW and to implement a centralized operating model for animal care and procedures. As a result of the UW’s Animal Care Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study, it was recommended the UW construct a new Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF). This 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). The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington and Flad Architect of San Francisco, California. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, located in Seattle WA. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The construction schedule has recovered 5 of the previously delayed fifteen (15) days (due to the site ground water and the soil condition impacts to the installation of the shoring and underpinning piles and the removal of a previously undiscovered underground storage tank and associated contaminated soils). The team continues to work to minimize impacts associated with the additional work activities by utilizing overtime allowances in the shoring and excavation sub-contracts and by looking for added opportunities to re-sequence the work. Work Accomplished This Period The shoring and mass excavation work phase continues. The north and south perimeter dewatering wells have been drilled, developed and are in service. The drilling and pile installation work is complete. The tie back lagging and excavation activities continue on all walls of the adjoining buildings. The tower crane and concrete placing boom foundation construction is underway. The dewatering well

point installation has started. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination efforts continue to support the ARCF prefabricated building components, detailing, and the procurement activities. The mock up of the prefabricated MEP Trade Racks has been completed for team review.

The project team has been reviewing and responding to the bid and procurement activities and working with the management team on budget control strategies.

Plans for Next 30 Days The tie-back, lagging and mass excavation work will complete. After the remaining soil is exported the large conveyor system will be demobilized. The contaminated soil removal will be completed. The dewatering design modification and efforts are responding to actual encountered site conditions. The well points will be drilled and installed under Foege and Hitchcock. The planning for both occupant and contractor operations and logistics at Foege, Hitchcock, J, K, and I wing loading dock will continue.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview There is no change to the project budget. However, the ARCF GC/CM’s scope of work has been modified to construct a new section of utility tunnel in order to support the distribution of utilities from the new West Central Utility Plant (West CUP). This work also includes replacing the existing PCB-contaminated transformers in Hitchcock Hall. This added work can be most cost-effectively delivered by the ARCF project, and additional funding from other UW sources will be provided to cover the cost. Several of the latest rounds of bid packages have come in over budget and the project team is looking at options to bring the project back on budget.


4

CHANGES IN SCOPE The ARCF GC/CM is now under contract to construct a new section of utility tunnel to provide a new pathway from the West CUP to the ARCF project and other buildings in the Magnuson Health Sciences Center. It is anticipated that the ARCF GC/CM will also install connecting utilities in the new tunnel section. The GC/CM will also replace existing PCB contaminated transformers in Hitchcock Hall. It has been determined that both of these scopes of work can be best coordinated with the ARCF site logistics and performed most cost effectively by the ARCF GC/CM. BUYOUT STATUS

Submittals to Date (not including LEED) 204 11.5days 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. The air intakes location 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. The project is facing budget challenges due to the active Seattle construction market and bidding climate. Skanska and the project team are actively monitoring the situation and working with subcontractors to encourage broad subcontractor participation and competitive bidding.

Bothell Activities and Recreation Center Project #203835

August 2015 Project Manager: Eric McArthur

Construction Manager: Jeff Johnson

Rendering of approach to the building from across Campus Way PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct a new Student Activities Center (SAC) at UW Bothell (UWB) to provide spaces for food service, student leadership offices and clubs, fitness and recreation, casual study, and, potentially an events center. The facility will serve both UWB and Cascadia College. UWB has a growing enrollment of over 4,200 students (3,800 FTE) and has rapidly evolved into a four-year institution after initially accepting only upperclassmen and graduate students. The campus has opened its first student housing facility. The newly leased and renovated spaces in both the Beardslee Building and Husky Hall have 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 is to be located immediately south of (and connected) to the existing North Creek Events Center (NCEC), and will be approximately 35,000 gross square feet (gsf).

LMN Architects of Seattle is the project architect. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, Inc. of Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trim installations were in the process of being finalized. The commissioning continued through the month of July. The final inspections for the various trades were completed and the City of Bothell issued a certificate of occupancy. Plans for the Next 30 Days The punch list work and commissioning will be finalized, and move-in activities will be completed.


11

PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project was slightly over budget prior to buying out the work, and it was hoped that favorable bid results would make up for the estimated overage. Unfortunately, the buyout results added to the overage, and UWB and Cascadia College (CC) students and administration were advised that either additional funds would be required to deliver their intended scope, or the scope would need to be reduced. Further, the bid scope included elements added to the construction project in lieu of being provided separately, and the project budget needed to be adjusted to reflect those costs. The administration, UWB and CC students agreed to fund up to the revised forecast. CPO has focused the team on managing construction to minimize the use of the construction contingency. Now that construction is nearly complete, contingency use has been well under forecast and the additional funds required will be less than what was committed to while still providing the fully desired scope.


12

CHANGES IN SCOPE The scope of the project has been maintained throughout construction. No changes in the scope have occurred nor are any forecasted in the final two months of construction. BUYOUT STATUS Buyout is complete.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The challenges for this project include the compact site size, sloping site, varied and changing program requirements, and budget limitations. Having two institutions participate in the design process is also a unique challenge. Also, with the construction packages bid out and the construction ground work completed, the project is past the point of greatest risk. The team understands that the greatest risk for impacting the budget negatively will come from the owner scope requests. As such, there is an agreement with the team to actively manage this.

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor Phase I Campus Reach Project #203801

August 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris

Construction Manager: Jeff Johnson

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 a regional bicycling and pedestrian network in the northern part of Seattle. These multiple uses and cross-traffic 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 on the trail has far exceeded initial projections. This project will develop design and construction documents for Phase I, 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 of the University-owned portion of the BGTC. The construction of Phase I is also included as part of this project scope.

The project prime is KPFF Consulting Engineers (KPFF) of Seattle, Washington and PLACE Studio, LLC is the landscape design firm from Portland, Oregon. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance This project is 2 months behind its current schedule. The completion is currently anticipated in May 2016. Work Accomplished This Period The low bidder was determined to be non-responsive for not meeting the required Disadvantage Business Enterprise requirement. An award letter was issued to the second low bidder, C.A. Carey, as the responsive bidder. The coordination with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) regarding a 12” gas line along the Lewis Lane Bridge continues and an agreement to provide an updated easement is in process. The construction communication outreach regarding trail closure and detours was updated.


19

Plans for Next 30 Days The Issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) for construction is planned. The amended easement agreement with PSE on the gas line will be finalized. The construction communication outreach will continue and detour routes will be implemented. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The original project budget for Phase I design and construction was estimated at $4.73 million, as part of the larger previous project that included the design of phase 2. The current cost forecast is $6.2 million, which is approximately 30 percent over budget. The elements of the increased project cost include; higher than anticipated costs for the base scope of work, redesign costs, bicycle shelter and enclosures, ADA upgrades, and escalation. The funding for this project is provided by UW Transportation Services (UWTS). With $3 million in federal grant funding, UW Transportation Services has confirmed that additional funding will be provided to cover the higher estimated project cost. The current funding is $6.2 million.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period.

Denny Hall Renovation Project #202039

August 2015 Project Manager: Randy Everett

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Constructed in 1895, Denny Hall is the oldest building on the Seattle campus and is eligible to be listed in the Washington State Heritage Register. Denny Hall was prioritized as part of the University’s “Restore the Core” renovation program to restore and modernize buildings in greatest need of renovation. The last major structural and interior renovation of this 100-year-old building occurred in 1956-57. The slate roof was replaced and the cupola was restored in 2005. The 86,414 gross square foot building currently houses offices and programs for the College of Arts and Sciences, including the Departments of Anthropology, Classics, Germanics, and Near Eastern Languages & Civilization, as well as the College’s Language Learning Center. Denny also houses 12,000 square feet of general assignment classrooms totaling 765 seats. This project will upgrade all major building systems, correct seismic deficiencies, improve accessibility, and abate hazardous materials. In accordance with the

Denny Hall Renovation, #202039

22

requirements of the State of Washington, the project will be designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Hacker (previously known as THA) of Portland, Oregon, is the project architect. SiteWorkshop is the landscape architect, and BNBuilders (BNB) is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). Both are located in Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project remains on schedule for occupancy at the start of Autumn Quarter 2016 based on an accelerated construction schedule. Work Accomplished This Period Hacker prepared three options for the wall surrounding the site mounted condenser units. The UW selected the CMU wall option, which matches the existing CMU enclosure wall surrounding the adjacent trash/recycling bins. The project team continued to look for cost savings to align the construction cost with the project budget, including re-evaluation of exterior guardrails and handrails. Hacker continued working on completion of the remaining construction documents for Bid Package D. BNB advertised and received bids for GWB and Acoustical Assemblies and submitted its contract Amendment #2 for approval.


23

Plans for Next 30 Days Hacker will continue to complete the construction documents for all remaining bid packages. BNB will advertise the remaining bid packages, including Architectural Casework, Doors, Frames & Hardware, Aluminum Systems & Glazing, Floorcoverings, Painting & Coatings, Miscellaneous Specialties, Window Treatments, Lab Casework & Equipment, and Irrigation/Landscape. BNB will submit the final documentation in support of its contract Amendment #2. Construction Accomplishments This Period The asbestos abatement continues. The construction of the new shear walls is progressing well with some walls proceeding up the building, with others in the foundations phase. BNB started the waterproofing of the building foundation. Because of the rough stone foundation a shotcrete layer was applied over the stone and a bentonite waterproofing system was the outer layer. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project is on budget with the bidding phase going well. The project is fully funded for $52,892,000.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this month.


24

BUYOUT STATUS The structures and early work packages were estimated and bid higher than the design development estimate. The design development forecast was less than the construction budget and there was some shifting of costs between packages. While the initial bids were higher than the design development estimate, latter bids were under budget. The current forecast for the buyout is under the construction budget.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The Board of Regents (BOR) 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 administration committed to returning to the BOR for final budget approval prior to the start of construction. The predesign study indicated all of the planned scope may not be achievable within the available funding, which was later confirmed. The cost reduction alternatives have been developed through value engineering (VE). The project team agreed to accept the majority of the VE recommendations, resulting in a total project cost forecast and new target budget of $31.5 million. At the end of the design development (DD) phase, the cost estimate, along with code interpretations from the City, showed that the anticipated VE cost savings could not be fully realized. In addition, the result of the field investigation by the MC/CM and the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (EC/CM) subcontractors discovered additional information that has also added to the estimated construction cost. The estimated total project cost at the end of the DD phase was approximately $38 million. The project scope has now been significantly reduced and the new cost estimate and budget forecast is $37M.

CHANGES IN SCOPE No changes in the scope this period. 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 as well as reduce the ongoing facility operations and maintenance costs. The 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. The challenges include successfully implementing the scope and cost reduction measures required to bring the project cost within budget. 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. The continuing schedule delays are increasing the risk that uncertain market conditions and escalating construction costs will further impact the project budget.

Housing–Maple and Terry Halls Project #203512

August 2015 Project Manager: Will Sigman

Construction Manager: Steve Folk

Perspective of Maple Hall, looking toward northwest from Lincoln Ave PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project scope includes demolition of the existing Center Building and Terry Hall and the construction of two new residential buildings named Maple and Terry Halls. 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 by Housing and Food Services (HFS) administrative offices, common space for students, and some additional two-bedroom suites. A below-grade parking garage connecting 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. Originally, Terry Hall and the 1101 Café/Center building located on NE Campus Parkway, immediately west of Lander Hall were planned as a renovation. The buildings were constructed in 1952 and needed substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements. The costly seismic and infrastructure upgrades, as well as the current high-rise code requirements, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. This change 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. Mithun is the project and landscape architects. W.G. Clark is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). Both firms are located in Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project is on track for occupancy at the start of Autumn Quarter. There have been several construction delays. W.G. Clarke has done very well to manage and mitigate the impacts. Phase 1 (HFS offices in Terry Hall) substantial completion was achieved June 5, 2015 and Phase 2, substantial completion was completed on August 7, 2015. Housing & Food Services occupied the Phase 1 area in June. Work Accomplished This Period The testing and inspections were completed to support achieving substantial completion on August 7, 2015. Plans for Next 30 Days The project has moved into the closeout phase; we are receiving the closeout submittals for review. The punch list, commissioning, and final testing will be on going. The buildings should be fully occupied by the end of September.


32

PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The forecast cost to complete is $13.6M below the budget a result of an excellent team effort to manage the project and costs. The budget includes HFS costs for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment. The project funding is from the University’s Internal Lending Program to be repaid with HFS revenues.

Life Sciences Building Project #204746

August 2015 Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Life Sciences Building (LSB) project will provide new laboratory and office space to allow the Department of Biology to increase its faculty size to meet major increases in undergraduate student demand. In addition, a new greenhouse of approximately 20,000 gross square feet (GSF) will be constructed as part of the LSB project. The project site is a combination of existing greenhouses and landscaped area located east of Kincaid Hall, and the area bounded by NE East Stevens Way to the north, the landscaped area just north of the MHSC T-Wing overpass, and the Burke Gilman Trail to the south. The existing greenhouse and associated buildings will be demolished and the LSB of approximately 169,000 GSF will be constructed on the site. The LSB will have five floors above grade with a mechanical penthouse and two below-grade floors to support 30 to 40 principal investigators with laboratory space, associated offices and conference spaces, three authentic undergraduate research/teaching laboratories, growth chambers, and animal care facilities. The LSB, together with a new, larger greenhouse, which will replace the current 65-year old greenhouse, offers the Department of Biology and its faculty the opportunity to take its truly integrated approach to Biology and its highly collaborative culture to a new level. The LSB allows Biology the opportunity to hire 10-12 new faculty members and strengthen key areas of interdisciplinary research by bringing together faculty,

postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates with overlapping research interests. Perkins + Will is the project architect, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is the Landscape Architects, and Skanska USA is the General Contractor / Construction Manager (GC/CM). All firms are located in Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project is on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The Design Development (DD) phase of the project progressed as planned. The LEAN pull-planning workshop occurred and the project schedule and key project milestones were updated and confirmed. The schedules for early bid packages and permitting were refined. The design workshop and program meetings were aligned with the project budget and presented to the University stakeholders. The preliminary cost estimates from the Mechanical Contractor / Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Electrical Contractor / Construction Manager (EC/CM) were reconciled and AECOM and Skanska budgets. The reoccurring weekly project team meetings are focused on advancing the design development elements, program and technical mechanical / electrical infrastructure details.


39

Plans for Next 30 Days The results of the schematic design budget reconciliation will be finalized for reporting to the Board of Regents. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been finalized. The project will be presented to the Architectural Commission and Landscape Advisory board for approval of the Design Development phase. The Skanska, P+W, and AECOM weekly cost log meetings, will continue assuring the design, decision making, are managed within the project budget. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) phase of the project will begin with McKinstry (MC/CM) and Veca (EC/CM) actively participating in the process. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current project forecast is $160.5 million of which $4.1 million has been funded.

CHANGES IN SCOPE The additional scopes of work are being considered for: changes to the mechanical systems for improved long term cost savings, flexibility, and occupancy comfort; expanded utility infrastructure and increased building size to support additional planned growth chambers; purchasing 25% of the growth chambers; an additional learning space; and shelling an electron microscope and low vibration room.

BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The building was sited to preserve the deodar cedars along East Stevens Way NE (Stevens Way) and the grove of trees adjacent to Garfield Lane between Stevens Way and the Burke-Gilman trail. These trees are significant and are character-defining features of the site. An opportunity to enhance pedestrian access includes improvements to the Lewis Lane pedestrian path from Stevens Way to the Hitchcock Overpass on the east side of Kincaid Hall. The integration of the LSB and greenhouse within the existing campus connectivity is being designed. Other opportunities include integrating the Life Science Building with the greenhouse and the Burke Gilman Trail improvements into a cohesive plan. Maintaining the project cost within the forecast budget will be a challenge given the tight market place for construction.

NanoEngineering & Sciences Building Project #204878

August 2015 Project Manager – Eric McArthur

Construction Manager – Mark Sweeters

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Nano Engineering & Science Building (NESB) project will consist of a new, approximately 78,000 gross square foot, 6-story building adjacent and connected to the existing Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building (MolES) on the main University of Washington campus. The project will construct a warm shell building and complete the build-out of 13,000 assignable square feet (asf) to accommodate the currently impacted spaces. The first floor of 12,000 gross square feet will be constructed as a warm shell for anticipated future completion for academic general purpose use. This warm shell work will be funded by Central Funds. To offset this loss of floor space, the currently designed basement level floor will expand to the north and add 9,000 gross square feet of ground contact area. The balance of the shell space will be available to provide build-out space for future College of Engineering vibration and EMI sensitive programs, currently estimated at an additional 27,000 asf by the year 2021.

The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington and Flad Architect of San Francisco, California. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Hoffman Construction Co, located in Seattle WA.

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

SCHEDULE VARIANCE The substantial completion has a contract date of November 1, 2016. The GC/CM is currently showing a variance of 6 days on the construction schedule due to sequencing issues during the excavation and shoring of the below-grade work as well as excessive rain on 8/14/2015 which impacted the site excavation. All trades suspended work that afternoon and the following Saturday was used to dewater the site. The GC/CM is currently working on resequencing the work to bring the schedule back into alignment. The rain incident will be tracked throughout construction to determine if a contract day is required to be added to the construction contract. WORK ACCOMPLISHED THIS PERIOD The remaining bid packages for the interior tenant improvements were issued at the end of August. This work includes all the finishes, doors, walls and ceilings required to complete the project. The excavation has been completed down to the sub basement. All exterior shoring walls have been waterproofed. The structural basement walls were formed, reinforced, and shotcreted. The column and interior shear walls are in the process of being formed and concrete placed. The work continues to be scheduled to accommodate the research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering &


60

Sciences Building with the contractor bringing forces in at 4am and suspending operations by 3pm. This follows the agreement between the construction team and the MolES researchers established to end disruptive construction activities by 3 pm each day and to resume no earlier than 8 pm in the evening. PLANS FOR NEXT 30 DAYS The project will return to the Board of Regents in September for approval of an expanded scope. The College of Engineering (CoE) has recently hired and is forecasting additional hires in the next academic year which is pressing the need to create new space. What the CoE envisioned as a future research activity years ago has become a present activity and the space has to grow to accommodate these needs. Therefore, the College has provided internal funds to fully build-out the instrumentation labs on Level G and the research Labs on Level 3. Level 4 is also added to support expanding the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) which is currently housed on Level 4 of MolES. The tenant improvement bid packages are scheduled to be opened on September 24th. The GC/CM has included in the Instructions to Bidders which will purchase the finishes for the expanded scope stated above. This is to generate additional buying power by purchasing a greater scope of work as well as to avoid future escalation while the complete design is finalized.

The design team will begin planning sessions with the College and the IPD. This design and documentation work will continue through the end of the year.

The construction activities are continuing on the lower level and level G. The lower level walls will be backfilled. The under slab utilities will be installed while the columns and shear walls are formed, reinforced and placed.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current budget and forecast cost is $61.3 million, of which $53 million is in hand. The variance of $8.3 million will be reduced to 7.1 million through cost reduction items being captured in contract change order and reductions in contingencies. The project team continues to review opportunities for cost reduction while still maintaining the approved project scope.


61

CHANGES IN SCOPE A variety of measures are being implemented to reduce the cost of the project, but no programmatic scope changes are involved. BUYOUT STATUS

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The construction market is currently experiencing increased escalation and volatile market conditions as the Seattle economy continues to boom. The ongoing and upcoming projects throughout the region are straining the labor pool for construction trades and consequently limiting the pool of bidders able to perform work. The NanoEngineering project and other university construction work are seeing younger tradesfolk on the jobsite which can affect the quality of work and the project schedule. The Construction Manager is aware of this and is actively monitoring and working with their subcontractors to manage this issue. These market conditions are also significantly impacting the bid results of the project.

The site is restricted and will be affecting vehicular circulation around the site. The tight fence boundaries and the increasing number of students that flow through this area of the campus present a challenge to the contracting team to preserve safety while still maintaining traffic and the ingress of materials. A UWPD officer has been retained to help direct traffic through the Grant Lane and Stevens Way intersection. This is the primary point for materials to enter the site and is also where most pedestrian traffic will cross.

New Burke Museum Project #203007

August 2015 Project Manager: Curtis Bain

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct a new Burke Museum located along NE 15th Ave NE to the west of the existing Burke Museum within a development site identified in the UW Campus Master Plan. The new museum will be approximately 110,000 gross square feet with three-stories and a partial daylight basement. This project will replace the existing Burke Museum, constructed in 1962. This project will address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing building, which are no longer adequate to meet the programmatic vision, capacity for research collections, public outreach, and education missions of the Burke Museum. The new building will accommodate the museum’s program and will enhance connections to the community and neighborhood. It will be located and configured to better anticipate potential future development on the site and have a 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.

New Burke Museum, #203007

65

The project will be 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. The accessibility will be integrated into the new facility to meet ADA requirements. The project will also address issues of long-term 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. A Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification is the aspirational goal. The project architect is Olson Kundig Architects (OKA), Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is the Landscape Architects, and Skanska USA is the General Contactor/ Construction Manager (GC/CM), all are located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Receiving less than the 56% of the needed funding from the 2015 legislative session will delay the start of construction from the fall to possibly the summer of 2016 or later, depending upon the Legislatures funding priorities. The design of the project will be complete around the start of the New Year, at which time the project will pause until additional funding is secured.


66

Schedule Variance The ongoing cost reduction pressures on the project design delayed the start of the construction documents until April 2015. Work Accomplished This Period The design consultants published the 50% construction drawings. Skanska commenced a constructability review and began estimating structural, mechanical and electrical scopes of work. The estimating of the remaining project components will be initiated when the 50% construction specifications are published in early September. The project team evaluated procurement options for early subcontractor involvement. Due to the uncertainty of the project funding, Skanska recommended deferring early bidding for the project until the funding is secured. The project team conducted pull-planning sessions to model the completion of design, procurement, permitting, and contracting assuming the remaining funding for the project is obtained in early spring of 2016. Skanska, Sparling and WSP continued to resolve key scope details regarding the delivery of campus utilities to the new building and the required modification to the tunnel serving the existing museum. The City of Seattle completed the flow test of the fire hydrants; MKA will review the results and advise on any required changes to the scope of work. After informal review with UWAC, the university decided not to modify the southwest corner of the museum for a major signage component. The design team will continue to evaluate signage and museum identity opportunities along 15th Avenue and the new museum’s public entrance. Plans for Next 30 Days The university has decided to bring the design work for the project to a close until the construction funding is received. Skanska will complete an estimate of the 50% construction documents. If the estimated construction costs grossly exceed the project budget, the project team will identify recommendations to modify the scope and design of the project when the project is restarted in the future. The Master Use Permit (MUP) for the project will be obtained from the City of Seattle as previously planned. Skanska, with the support of the design consultants, will complete the site and logistics planning and coordination associated with Phase II of the project (the interim museum relocation period between completion of the new building and the demolition of the existing building). PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The legislature approved $26 million of the necessary 46.2 million needed for the project. The University will seek to submit a request for the 2016 legislative session for the additional funding.

North Campus Student Housing Project #204350

August 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris Construction Manager: Steve Folk

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The North Campus Student Housing project Phase IV (will replace McCarty Hall with three buildings, identified as buildings B, C and D with occupancy planned for the start of Autumn Quarter 2018. The construction typology of buildings B, C, and D will be 5-stories of wood-frame construction above a two-story concrete podium. The steeply sloped site makes it challenging to achieve the desired 1,870 beds programmed for these buildings. The lower concrete levels of the building will include residence hall amenities such as entry lobbies, regional desk, dining, game center, and meeting rooms. The upper wood framed levels will be residential suites with private or communal bathrooms. The landscape improvements include internal courtyards, a central urban plaza, an entry court, new and refreshed pedestrian access and circulation from the north, south, east and west. There will be open spaces for wide- ranging passive and active recreational uses, and the relocation of a portion of Whitman Court roadway. The cumulative changes are designed to create a new character for this part of the

campus that retains the woodland nature of the existing area. It will be better served by connections within it and connecting to the broader campus. The project is targeting, at a minimum, a Silver level certification for new construction through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED). Kieran Timberlake of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the architect, Olin Studios of Philadelphia is the Landscape Architect, and W.G. Clark of Seattle is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Phase IV (a)

Schedule Variance None, the project remains on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The schematic design phase was completed with SD review comments forwarded to the design team. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed. Plans for Next 30 Days The design development phase will begin, which includes refinement to program elements, building fenestration studies, material selections and site landscape. The landscape elements, site circulation and plaza features will be further refined and detailed. The active construction market resulted in fewer than the desired responses

from the mechanical subcontractors. The Electrical Contractor /Construction Manager (EC/CM) process will move into the interview phase of the process. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project has been funded at $1,920,000 for preliminary design. The funding will be increased to address a later than planned Fall approval by the Board of Regents for the funding, budget, and site approval. The funding will be increased to complete the schematic design and a portion of the design development phase. The funding for this work is from Housing & Food Services (HFS) reserves. The project forecast is $235 million. This is above the previous forecast of $216 million. This is due to site conditions, moving beds from Phase IV(b) to this phase, and higher than estimated costs. The team will be studying options to reduce cost and potentially increasing the project budget.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The early selection of the general contractor along with early selections of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors, follow the successful format of the design participation that occurred on the West Campus Housing projects. This early involvement has proven to enhance the 3D modeling and coordination of the design. The project will be challenging with the cost of construction increasing and shortages of qualified craft trade workers to construct the project due to the increase in construction activity in the Seattle area. It is an exciting opportunity to create a new vision for the residential housing village for this part of the campus that retains the woodland nature, which better serves internal and external connections to the campus and the connecting community.

UW Police Department Facility Project #203612

August 2015 Project Manager: Ken Kubota

Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will provide a new upgraded University of Washington Police Department (UWPD) facility in a more central location that will facilitate greater accessibility to the University community. The project site is just south of Gould Hall, occupying a portion of the W14 Parking Lot and the 3945 and 3937 buildings on 15th Avenue NE. The building will be located in the growing and increasingly lively west campus and near a primary campus entrance; the site offers improved visibility and access to the police station. The approximately 29,000 gross square foot building is envisioned to be architecturally significant, with a program that features to support a modern and highly capable UWPD operation for decades to come. The conceptual design envisions a two-story building with a basement level. The program includes; police offices, a dispatch and communications center, records storage, evidence room and lab, suspect processing, interview rooms, report taking rooms, juvenile waiting rooms, police lockers, fitness rooms, a community multipurpose meeting/training room, and fleet parking. The project sustainability goal is to achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification.

The architect is the Miller Hull Partnership of Seattle. The police facilities consultant is McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie of Phoenix, Arizona. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is BNBuilders of Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance There are no changes this period. The project remains on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The construction continues with the placement of the concrete post-tensioned (PT) roof deck. The mechanical ventilation ducts and plumbing are being installed on the lower basement level. The motor court site wall footings are installed. The site utilities for water, sewer, and storm were installed. Plans for Next 30 Days The parapet, stair, and elevator shafts to the roof will be installed topping out the building. The ground floor electrical rough-in will begin. The ground floor CMU walls will begin. The formwork for the roof level will be removed with stressing of the PT cables. This also allows for the shoring posts to be removed throughout the building. The mechanical and plumbing rough-in continues on the second and third levels. The fence wall foundations will be placed in the motor court. The landscape and irrigation bid package will be bid. This is the last bid package. The alley work will start and be completed in conjunction with the West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) Project and Seattle City Light (SCL); the scheduling of SCL will be dependent upon its crew availability.

SAFETY STATISTICS








OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The UW Police Department facility is one of the few buildings on campus that is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week. This project will make the UW Police Department more visible, as many students, faculty, and staff do not know its current location at the Bryants Building. The design team and the contractor are managing the project to stay within the available budget. Just south of the UWPD site is the site of the separate WCUP project that will require close coordination. The WCUP project is no longer providing the emergency power to the UWPD. The WCUP project is funding the emergency power coming from the West Receiving Station. The increasing construction costs as well keeping the project on budget will be challenging.

UW Tacoma Urban Solutions Center Project #204701

August 2015 Project Manager: Jeannie Natta

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The former Tacoma Paper and Stationery Building is the last of the historic large warehouse buildings on the UW Tacoma campus to be renovated. The building features a 10,000 gross square foot daylight basement and three upper floors for a total of 40,000 gross square feet. Currently, the building is unoccupied other than for storage uses and by the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant, which has been a mainstay in downtown Tacoma for decades. Consistent with its mission as an urban-serving university, the UW Tacoma seeks to renovate this building to further preserve the historic fabric of its downtown Tacoma environs, and to ultimately house programs in the building which bring together academic, commercial, non-profit, government, and student entities in one place to study, research, analyze, debate, and develop solutions for a variety of issues in the South Sound region. Originally, the project was to be completed in two phases: (1) a ‘warm shell’ and core renovation, (2) a full build-out of the interior space. Based on UW Tacoma’s current projections of 4%-6% student growth per year, the UW Tacoma Campus Planning Office intends to complete the project in a single phase. The pre-design and design work has been funded by a $1.9M capital request in the 2013 Legislative session. A capital request for core and shell construction was funded

79

by the Legislature at $16M. The UW Tacoma funded the interior design and construction at $10.1M from the UW Tacoma Reserves. The architect is the Miller Hull Partnership, located in Seattle. Mortenson Construction, located in Kirkland, Washington, has been selected as the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY

Schedule Variance The schedule has been revised with anticipation of when the building may be vacated. We anticipate starting construction January 2016. Work Accomplished This Period The design team reached a milestone of 100% design development for the core and shell and 30% schematic design for the interiors. In mid August the project team reviewed the design for quality control. Mortenson developed an estimate of the complete project based on these design documents. Early reviews of the estimate show the project to be on target. The faculty focus groups reviewed the schematic design of the interiors and provided comments. UW T Information Technology and Campus Planning reviewed the audio visual needs for classrooms. The project team also met with UW Tacoma Facilities to


80

review specific building operation needs. Access to the Old Spaghetti Factory allowed for further investigation work, including regulated building materials, surveying the floor elevations and researching the best location for the building entrance. Plans for Next 30 Days The project team meets in early September for a complete review of the construction estimate to confirm that the design intent is captured in the estimate and consider cost saving options. The estimate and design options will be presented to UW Tacoma at the September 24 core team meeting. The two important review meetings are scheduled for the middle of the month. The first is with the Office of the University Architect to review the project. The second is an over the shoulder review by UW Tacoma Facilities of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing design. The next LEED charrette is also scheduled for mid September. The team plans to finalize the LEED score sheet and define the commissioning scope. We plan to bring the commissioning agent on board at the end of the month. The design team will have two sessions with faculty focus groups to further develop the interior design. An all faculty design open house is also scheduled for the end of the month to share the design progress. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The total project budget is $28,000,000, pending Regent approval at their September meeting. $1,900,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in 2013-2015 budget for predesign and design of the core and shell. $16,000,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in 2015-2017 budget for construction of the core and shell. $10,100,000 has been appropriated from UW Tacoma Reserves in 2015 to complete the design and construction of the interior.

CHANGES IN SCOPE No changes from last month. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The project offers the chance to complete the major renovation of UW Tacoma’s warehouse building stock and fill in a ‘missing tooth’ in the heart of the campus. The building has a number of infrastructure challenges to overcome. There is also known contaminated soil within the footprint of the building and economically addressing that issue may be an additional challenge. The predesign provided a strong foundation moving forward. Now that the Prairie Line Trail is completed, the design team is also able to envision how the new Urban Solutions Center will tie into the trail. At this time the team is proceeding with the understanding the building will be unoccupied. If this assumption changes and the building remains partially occupied during the core and shell renovation, scope and schedule would be impacted if the budget is to be maintained.

West Campus Utility Plant Project #204685

August 2015 Project Manager: Steve Harrison

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This current project includes a building of approximately 17,000 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 chilled water (CW) piping. When fully built out, the plant will have capacity to produce 12 megawatts (MW) of emergency power and 10,500 tons of CW. In phase 1 the construction of the building will be complete as well as the installation of equipment to produce 6 MW and 3,000 tons of CW. This phase will also provide space and infrastructure for the future full equipment build-out, and run distribution systems to the south campus. The emergency power and CW will be distributed to the tunnel intersection vault SW-1, at which point the ARCF project will pick up those services for connection and distribution within the facility and to the existing distribution lines nearby. The West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) is envisioned to be an architecturally significant building, given its prominent location on the west campus. The careful attention given will ensure 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 the use of the design-build (D-B) contracting method for this project. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None this period. Work Accomplished This Period The installation of the new chilled-water distribution system piping began and a substantial portion of the work that can be completed before removing the existing pipelines is done. The city comments on the building permit were received and responded to. The detailed design was ongoing in support of trade work packages, the plant electrical design and permit application, and the sequence-of-operations including controls and instrumentation. A draft commissioning plan was published


84

and is under UW review. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning were ongoing and continue. Plans for Next 30 Days The distribution system pipeline installation will continue. The preparations for plant construction will continue. The design-builder will establish working trailers and begin the second round of procurement (the major electrical and mechanical trade partners have already been on board for many months). The formal design efforts will be completed and the professional firms will begin their construction administration duties. A handful of change orders will be advanced and possibly executed including 3 scopes of work that were originally envisioned to be part of the future phases of the CUP and associated distribution system upgrades. These scopes may be moved into the current ‘Phase 1’ work (i.e. they may be ‘accelerated’) in order to be able to serve the Life Sciences Building, which is now in design, and to reduce the ultimate cost of developing the plant in general. The work to shepherd the MUP and the building permit and to prepare for plant construction will continue. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current approved budget is $36.2 million. The increase from the original project budget of $30.5 million was approved by the Board of Regents at the March 2015 meeting. Adding a number of identified scope enhancements will provide flexibility for the future by increasing the building footprint, a partial basement and equipment enhancements. This increase will better allow the facility to respond to potential future sustainability initiatives such as thermal storage, lake water cooling and campus system conversion from steam to hot water.

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The permitting-related schedule risks previously identified still exist, but are diminishing in number with time and progress. A few city comments related to the Building and Master Use permits still have the potential to cost time and money. The budget risks generally associated with assuring quality and completeness in the constructed product under a design-build delivery system while market costs are escalating are beginning to emerge. However, the collaborative design effort has effectively controlled them to date. The ‘accelerated Phase 2’ scopes of work discussed above are important opportunities in that they have the capacity to save


86

money in other projects and in regard to future plant and distribution build out. There is a risk emerging in regard to work by another UW project in the alley adjacent to the CUP site. That project intends to move overhead power lines into a new underground duct bank. The coordination with, and cooperation from, Seattle City Light is required and if the work is delayed, then CUP construction may be impacted by the presence of the power lines.
