iv

cost estimates and the Informational Presentation for the Board of Regents October meeting was finalized. The Design Development (DD) phase of the project continues to progress. The sustainability and LEED eco charrette occurred and included advancement of five key sustainable concepts for the project. The subcontractor costs from the Mechanical Contractor / Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Electrical Contractor / Construction Manager (EC/CM) were reconciled.

· Medical Center Expansion Phase II – Design Package 01

Design Package 04 - The testing and commissioning of the new emergency generator, chillers, cooling tower and air handling units for the Montlake Tower continued in September. The air handling units are moving air in 2SA, 5SAand 7EE and the filter systems have passed infection control testing. TAB and final commissioning is underway in these areas. Grounding for RF shielded rooms in 7EE is complete and has met resistance requirements.

Montlake Tower work - For 2SA - the 7 Operating Rooms and associated support areas were substantially completed and turned over to the UWMC for transplant cleaning. Punch list, commissioning, UWMC vendor startups, UWMC move-in and OR simulation activities took place through the month of September. Final Certificate of Occupancy is expected on 10/30 and the ORs will “go live” as planned on 11/2, a major milestone for the project.

5SA, 6SA, 7SA - The flooring installation is complete. 5SA was punched on October 1, 5SA on the 8th. The flooring contactor added additional workers and that is helping, but the flooring is on the critical path and impacting the schedule. The patient door installation is underway. Lighting fixture installation, electrical termination/trim work continued. The painting, casework, locker installation, ceiling tile installation, bathroom ceramic tile and bathroom fixture installation continued. The terrazzo work on 7SA is nearing completion.

Design Package 07 - The amendment to add DP07 to the project has been executed, and the submittal process is underway. “Make Ready” projects, which are to relocate ongoing UWMC functions out of construction areas so that demolition can proceed, are underway. The pharmacy has been moved to it’s temporary location and a temporary OR Control Room and Frozen Section Lab are in process and due to be turned over to UWMC on 10/12 and 11/23, respectively. Planning for the Central Sterile Core Renovation on Level 1, including a new Cart Wash Station and Soiled Lifts is underway with construction expected to start 11/3. The south portion of Prep Hold and Recovery is due to begin construction 12/1. The north section is to start on 10/21. Renovation of the 5NN area has been added to the project and is also due to start the first week of December.

· Montlake Triangle Project – Punch list activity continued with a majority of punch list items being addressed.

v

· NanoEngineering and Sciences Building (NESB) – All remaining bid packages, with the exception of the lab casework have been bid during this period. An amendment to incorporate these bids is currently being prepared. The structural basement walls have been formed, reinforced, and spray-shotcrete cast. The under slab utilities have been placed and backfilled for preparation to pour the ground floor slab.

· New Burke Museum Renovation – Skanska completed a 50% Construction Document (CD) estimate on 09/29/2015. The estimated total cost of construction was $52.8M compared to the target budget of $51.1M. The addition of drilled piers, interior finish selection, a tower crane and miscellaneous scope modifications resulted in the higher estimate. Due to the uncertainty of project funding and future budget and market conditions, further work on aligning the design with the budget was deferred. OKA returned the first round of corrections for the Master Use Permit.

· North Campus Student Housing – SD approval was granted by both ULAC and UWAC. The Design Development phase has begun with KT/OLIN exploring various programmatic revisions as required to meet the overall budget. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed and interviews completed with Holaday Parks selected as the MCCM and Cochran selected as the ECCM.

· UW Police Department Facility – The post-tensioned concrete work was completed. Exterior wall framing and parapet steel is being installed. The last piece of structural steel was being held out for the UWPD to sign before it is placed in the roof stair/elevator structure. Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire sprinkler rough-in work continues on the 2nd and 3rd levels. The roof level is being prepared to receive the vapor barrier. Site concrete walls are being placed in the fleet vehicle area. Basement level CMU walls are being installed. Door frames and electrical conduits are being installed in CMU walls.

· Tacoma Urban Solutions Center – The project team reviewed the estimate of the 100% design development for core and shell and 30% design development for the interior design. The project is within 4% of the target value budget. The team identified a list of cost saving alternatives to be incorporated into the final design process. UW Tacoma met with the city of Tacoma to collaborate and coordinate on the scope of work within the city right of way. The city intends to improve the utility infrastructure in the street and the Urban Solutions Center project also has scope in the right of way.

The University architect and landscape architect reviewed the project and approved the design. The UW Tacoma Facilities staff reviewed the mechanical, electrical and plumbing design and provided feedback to the design team. The project team also reached decisions on the LEED credits it will pursue. The design team met twice with faculty focus groups to further develop the interior design. The team is working to incorporate research laboratories into the scope while maintaining the project

vi

budget. The project team also hosted an all campus design open house to share the design progress.

· West Campus Utility Plant – The installation of the new chilled-water distribution system piping continued. Good progress continued on the MUP and Building permit applications with several key reviewers signing off and others waiting for items that will be resolved soon (e.g. alley dedication paperwork that is in the process of being filed). Detailed design continued in support of trade work packages, the plant electrical design and permit application, and the sequence-of-operations including controls and instrumentation. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning were ongoing and continue.

Animal Research and Care Facility Project #203928

September 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 project team has recovered the entirety of previous schedule delay (due to the site ground water, 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 resultant extra work activities by utilizing overtime allowances where appropriate for value added opportunities to re-sequence the work. For example, a revision to the installation plan for underslab piping and structural matt foundation assembly is responsible for a significant portion of the schedule recovery. Work Accomplished This Period The shoring and mass excavation work phase is complete. All dewatering wells and well points have been drilled developed and are in service. The large soil conveyor has been demobilized and the project’s tower crane has been erected. The Foege

building has been connected to emergency power from the UW plant via a newly installed and commissioned transformer. The structures and waterproofing phase of work has commenced. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination efforts continue, along with MEP and vivarium equipment submittals processing in order to support the ARCF prefabricated building components, detailing, and the procurement activities.

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 structural and waterproofing phase of work will progress. The mat foundation is separated into four zones and will be worked in a counterclockwise sequence. The planning for both occupant and contractor operations and logistics at Foege, Hitchcock, J, K, and I wing loading dock will continue. The redesign of the landscape and sitework to reduce the cost of that scope 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. We recently opened bids on a revision to a portion of the interior finishes and have realized substantial savings due to the changes the team has made to the design.


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) 253 12.5 days 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 intake locations 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

September 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 substantial completion date was reached on August 6, 2015. The work this period included occupancy, furniture move-in and finalizing remaining punch list and commissioning items. Plans for the Next 30 Days The punch list work and commissioning will be finalized, and move-in activities will be completed. The building Grand Opening is set for October 7, 2015.

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 focused the team on managing construction to minimize the use of the construction contingency. That effort has born fruit and with construction complete, the construction contingencies have covered the added cost of construction. The student funds will be used to cover scope that was for student-requested items that were purchased through the construction contract. Utilizing these two sources, the project will be delivered on time and on budget.

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

September 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. The Phase I, Campus Reach, Project 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 will begin on October 12th, 2015 with a Ground-breaking ceremony held by Transportation Services on Oct. 6, 2015.

Schedule Variance This project is behind the revised schedule with construction scheduled for completion in early June, 2016. Work Accomplished This Period A Notice-to-Proceed was issued to C.A. Carey, with a start date of October 12th, 2015. An updated easement is in the final stages of approval as coordinated with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) and UW regarding the 12” gas line along the Lewis Lane Bridge. The construction communication outreach regarding trail closure and detours has been updated on both the CPO and Transportation Services websites. Plans for Next 30 Days The closure of the Burke-Gilman trail between 15th Ave. NE and the Rainier Vista is complete with detour signage and pathway identification posted. The site fencing, construction mobilization and construction work will be underway with early work activities including demolition and clearing and grubbing. The construction


19

communication outreach will continue and detour routes will be updated, as necessary. 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. BUYOUT STATUS The Phase 1 (Campus Reach) was awarded to CA Carey.

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Preliminary Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance

The designer and contractor have developed a new schedule for completing the design and construction of the project. The revised milestones are shown above. Work Accomplished This Period The initial Mini-MACC for long lead equipment has been issued to the GC/CM allowing them to issue purchase orders for the long lead equipment. The project permitting designation was reduced from being a Substantial Alteration, which potentially reduces the permitting cost. Plans for Next 30 Days The GC/CM and contract team will complete their back check of the 100% CD documents to assure that the documents are complete and ready to bid. The GC/CM will begin publishing documents and advertising for subcontract bidding. The submittals from the long lead mechanical equipment package will be received. The Construction Documents (CD) set will be finalized by incorporating the design review comments as a result of the back check. The GC/ CM will begin the procurement phase of the project and solicit individual bid packages. The revised project schedule will be required to support the critical path activities and milestones.

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

September 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

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 project received approval of the design development phase at the presentations to the Architectural Commission and Landscape Advisory board. The budget reconciliation process aligned the project budget with the construction cost estimates and the Informational Presentation for the Board of Regents October meeting was finalized. The Design Development (DD) phase of the project continues to progress. The sustainability and LEED eco charrette occurred and included advancement of 5 key sustainable concepts for the project. The subcontractor costs from the Mechanical Contractor / Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Electrical Contractor / Construction Manager (EC/CM) were reconciled.


41

Plans for Next 30 Days The DD set of documents will be distributed by the design team for project stakeholder review and comment. The design team will begin the transition concluding the DD phase and starting the Construction Document (CD) phase. The elevator, greenhouse, and curtain wall subcontract bid packages will be prepared for early procurement. A complete project bid package buyout plan will be developed. The LEAN pull planning activities will be integrated into the project schedule. 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 continue with Skanska (GC/CM), McKinstry (MC/CM) and Veca (EC/CM) leading the process. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current project forecast is $164.755 million of which $4.1 million has been funded. The increase in the project forecast by $4.25 million is for the additional space and infrastructure for the growth chambers. The increased forecast was approved by the Administration and will be presented to the Board of Regents in October.


42

CHANGES IN SCOPE The additional scopes of work include: 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; 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

September 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 was initially established to construct a warm shell building and complete the build-out of 13,000 assignable square feet (asf) to accommodate the research on campus affected by the tunneling and operation of the Sound Transit light rail tunnel. 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. In the September 2015 Board of Regents meeting, the project was authorized to build out the remaining portion of Level G, 3 for College of Engineering vibration and EMI sensitive programs, and Level 4 to expand the Institute for Protein Design currently housed on Level 4 of MolES. The current projected assignable square feet will be 45,000 when complete in 2016.

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 current contract date of November 1, 2016. The GC/CM is currently showing a variance of 10 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 With the exception of the lab casework, all remaining bid packages have been bid during this period. An amendment to incorporate these bids is currently being prepared.


61

The structural basement walls have been formed, reinforced, and shotcreted. The underslab utilities have been placed and backfilled for preparation to pour the ground floor slab. The work continues to be scheduled to accommodate the research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering & 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 design work continues on the expanded scope of work to plan out the fit-out of levels G, 3, & 4. The design team is facilitating 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 basement and ground floor slabs will be poured and the remaining walls will be backfilled to grade.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current budget and forecast cost is $81.9 million, an expansion of $28.9M to cover the expanded scope. Currently, $53 million is in hand. The previous variance has been captured in this new forecast. The current period’s bidding is on budget with forecasts. The costs are being monitored and controlled during the design of the expanded scope to work with the current budget. The project team continues to review opportunities for cost reduction while still maintaining the approved project scope.


62

CHANGES IN SCOPE The Board of Regents approved the following at their September 2015 meeting:

1. The Ground Floor and Floor 3 will be fully built out to house research space for the College of Engineering. Level G will accommodate vibration and EMI-sensitive equipment, and associated support spaces. Level 3 will include laboratory space for both wet and dry research and is designed to be shared by multiple faculty members/research groups. Level 3 will also provide office and support space for 6 faculty members along with their associated students/researchers.

2. Full build-out of Floor 4 to house the Institute for Protein Design – The layout and build-out will generally replicate that of Floors 2 and 3.

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

September 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

66

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. Schedule Variance The project design was put on hold pending resolution of the project financing.


67

Work Accomplished This Period Skanska completed a 50% Construction Document (CD) estimate on 09/29/2015. The estimated total cost of construction was $52.8M compared to the target budget of $51.1M. The addition of drilled piers, interior finish selection, a tower crane and miscellaneous scope modifications resulted in the higher estimate. Due to the uncertainty of project funding and future budget and market conditions, further work on aligning the design with the budget was deferred. OKA returned the first round of corrections for the Master Use Permit. Plans for Next 30 Days Skanska will complete a constructability review and submit comments to the design team. OKA will continue to work with Permits NW and the City of Seattle to obtain a Master Use Permit. The university is evaluating strategies to advance the project in anticipation of additional project funding; this may include authorizing the consultants to prepare a building permit application for the project. 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.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None anticipated this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The funding continues to be a challenge. 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. The project budget did not support Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification; the project team will continue to work towards a LEED Gold certification. The project will meet LEED Silver certification standards at a minimum.

North Campus Student Housing Project #204350

September 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris and Shane Ruegamer

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 (SD) approval was granted by both ULAC and UWAC. The Design Development (DD) phase has begun with KT/OLIN exploring various programmatic revisions as required to meet overall budget. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed and interviews were completed with Holiday Parks selected as the Mechanical Construction/Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Cochran selected as the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (EC/CM).


71

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 refinements. The demolition and early works permit packages are being compiled for submission in November to the City of Seattle. 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 $240 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 costs in Phase IVa while adjusting scope in both Phase IVa and IVb to maintain the current total Phase IV project budget.

CHANGES IN SCOPE Not applicable at this time.

BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. 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

September 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 post-tensioned concrete work is completed. The exterior wall framing and parapet steel is being installed. The last piece of structural steel was being held out for the UWPD to sign before it is placed in the roof stair/elevator structure. The mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire sprinkler rough in work continues on the 2nd and 3rd levels. The roof level is being prepared to receive the vapor barrier. The site concrete walls are being placed in the fleet vehicle area. The basement level CMU walls are being installed and the door frames and electrical conduits are being installed in the CMU walls. Plans for Next 30 Days The exterior walls will continue framing and sheathing. The bullet resistant sheathing is being installed. The roofing will be installed making the building dry for interior work. The CMU walls will continue on the basement level and at the upper levels, door frames, metal studs, electrical, and plumbing work in walls will start. The wallboard will start as soon as the exterior wall framing and roof vapor barrier is complete. The insulation will be installed in the exterior walls once electrical rough-

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 West Campus Utility Plant (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

September 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

81

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 project team reviewed the project estimate of the 100% design development for core and shell and 30% design development for the interior design. The project is within 4% of the target value budget. The team identified a list of cost saving alternatives to be incorporated into the final design process. UW Tacoma met with the city of Tacoma to collaborate and coordinate on the scope of work within the city right of way. The city intends to improve the utility infrastructure in the street and the Urban Solutions Center project also has scope in the right of way.


82

The University architect and landscape architect reviewed the project and approved the design. The UW Tacoma Facilities staff reviewed the mechanical, electrical and plumbing design and provided feedback to the design team. The project team also reached decisions on the LEED credits it will pursue. The design team met twice with faculty focus groups to further develop the interior design. The team is working to incorporate research laboratories into the scope, while maintaining the project budget. The project team also hosted an all campus design open house to share the design progress. Plans for Next 30 Days The project team will meet with the city of Tacoma to discuss a phased permit process. The intent is to submit for an early structural and demolition permit in November. The team is also preparing bid documents to bid these scopes of work in November. The goal is be ready to start construction in January as soon as the tenant has fully vacated. The design team will reach a milestone on October 9 and release 30% construction documents for core and shell and 100% design development documents for interiors. The team will update the target value estimate and cost savings log to ensure the project is within budget. The GCCM will conduct a laser scan of the interior of the building to be used for Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination. The electrical meters will also be installed to determine the electrical capacity available to project from the existing electrical gear. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The total project budget is $28,000,000. The Board of Regents approved the budget on September 10, 2015. $1,900,000 was appropriated by the Legislature in the 2013-2015 budget for predesign and design of the core and shell. $16,000,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in the 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

September 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 continued. The good progress continued on the MUP and building permit applications with several key reviewers signing off and others waiting for items that will be resolved soon (e.g. alley dedication paperwork that is in the process of being filed). The detailed design continued in support of trade work packages, the plant electrical design and permit application, and the sequence-of-operations including controls and instrumentation. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning were ongoing and


86

continue. ‘Submittal Exchange’, the tool for distributing/managing submittals, archiving and conducting other business related to the construction phase, was launched. 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 continue procurement. The formal design efforts will achieve the last major milestone when the coordinated design set (similar to CD’s but reflecting the design-build delivery method) are published in mid October. The detailed work on the system controls will continue 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 WCUP 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.


87

CHANGES IN SCOPE An increase in mechanical and electrical scopes is anticipated within the next 30 days. This is all ‘accelerated Phase 2 scope’, see discussion above. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES 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 money in other projects and in regard to future plant and distribution build out. The previously identified risk associated with work by another UW project in the alley adjacent to the WCUP site, which involves the undergrounding of power lines, still

exists but has diminished. The potential impacts to the WCUP construction now appear less severe due to (at least partial) responsiveness by Seattle City Light. The moderate budget risks are emerging in association with work on existing utility systems, but are not yet quantified.
