Animal Research and Care Facility Project #203928

February 2016 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 ARCF project is on schedule. 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). Work Accomplished This Period The structure and waterproofing phase of work continues. The structural mat foundation installation is complete in all zones. The columns, reinforcing and concrete placement work continues on all zones, along with the building’s vertical waterproofing and exterior vertical walls. The precast beams and planks are being flown in and erected. The structural connections work between the Foege loading dock structure and the ARCF has started. The building’s mechanical and electrical utility installations are ongoing. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination

efforts continue, along with MEP and vivarium equipment submittals. These activities support the ARCF prefabricated building components, detailing and procurement activities. The demolition, shoring, excavation and utility work has started in the loading dock and access roadway for the ARCF tunnel.

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 project structural and waterproofing phase work will continue. The site installation of prefabricated structural beams and planks is ongoing in a counterclockwise sequence. The topping slabs work will continue on the precast and the ARCF tunnel work continues. The redesign of the landscape and site work is complete and procurement continues.

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. The cost of the additional scope of work is carried in other project budgets and is not included in the budget forecast below.

Submittals to Date (not including LEED) 539 14 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.

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor Phase I Campus Reach

Project #203801 February 2016

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

The installation for the side sewer for the future Life Sciences Building has contributed to approximately 4 weeks of the extended schedule. This change avoids having to remove newly completed sections of the BGT when it is completed. The Substantial Completion date is now set for 7/13/16. Work Accomplished This Period The boring under the Lewis Bridge was completed, and they finished up the sewer tie-in. The contractor continued pouring the retaining wall at the west end of the site. The excavation of soil at the west end of the trail is just about complete. The excavation has started for the block retaining wall near Lewis Bridge. The demolition of the trail at the east end of the site has begun as well as the installation of conduit. The bases have been poured for the light poles.


14

Plans for Next 30 Days The contractor will backfill the west retaining wall area. They will also begin installing the base and lower sections for the block wall system. At the east end of the site, demolition of the path and grading will continue. 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. The reduction in funding and costs to date in July 2015 reflect separating the design costs for Phase 2 into a separate project.


15

CHANGES IN SCOPE No major changes to scope have been identified but some minor Owner requested revisions are being pursued. The locked bike enclosure will be modified to include different metal screen spacing as an increased theft deterrent. The trails eastern-most mixing zone is being modified in width to mitigate the bike/pedestrian transitions from Rainier Vista. BUYOUT STATUS The Phase 1 (Campus Reach) was awarded to CA Carey.

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Preliminary Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance

There are no changes to the project schedule this period. Work Accomplished This Period The MACC negotiations are complete and the final construction contract is in process. The submittals are being received and the review and approval process has begun. The MC/CM has begun off site prefabrication of mechanical sub-assemblies. The GC/CM has engaged subcontractors in ongoing pull planning and coordination of their work. Plans for Next 30 Days The GC/CM will continue to work with the subcontractors to coordinate and schedule the work. The submittal review and approval process will continue. The subcontractors will begin ordering materials in preparation for mobilization on the site on April 8th. 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

Fluke Hall, #203880

29

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 $36.5M.

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

Fluke Hall, #203880

30

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.

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 the 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.

UWMC Expansion Phase II Montlake Tower Project #204110

February 2016 Project Manager: Ross Pouley

Construction Manager: Bob Dillon

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will provide the interior structure, systems, and finishes for a second phase of expansion at the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC). This phase will increase safety and quality of service to patients in a modern, high-performance environment. It will allow a more streamlined, integrated organizational structure for the interventional services, including surgery, cardiology, and diagnostic radiology, as well as peripheral supporting areas. Additional in-patient beds will also be provided. To support this goal, the Phase II project will build out 107,000 gross square feet (GSF) of shelled spaces within the new Montlake Tower and will renovate 137,000 GSF for both inpatient and outpatient services in the Pacific and Muilenburg Towers. The scope will include new operating rooms (ORs) on Level 2 and intensive care or medical surgery units on Levels 5, 6, and 7. The renovation work will consolidate and organize clinics in wings 7EE and 8SE and will provide the support space and infrastructure necessary to make each component fully operational. To maintain continuous hospital operations throughout construction, the project has been organized sequentially in multiple construction phases. These incremental

occupancy milestones may be adjusted to allow for patient and operational needs or infrastructure requirements. The project architect is NBBJ of Seattle, and the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Mortenson Construction of Kirkland. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Design Package 01 (3EE, 7NN, 7SE & 8SE): The DP01 work was substantially completed on June 22, 2015. Design Package 04 (Montlake Tower Floors & 7EE): The DP04 work was substantially completed on 2/17/16. For 2SA; The “Go Live” date of 11/2/15 was accomplished. For 5SA ICU Bed Floor; The “Go Live” date 2/28/16 was accomplished. For 6SA ICU Bed Floor; The “Go Live” date of 1/26/16 was accomplished. For 7SA Bed Floor; The substantial completion was accomplished on 2/17/16. The “Go Live” date is scheduled for 4/5/16. Design Package 07: The second floor work in the Pacific & Muilenburg Towers is planned for a phased renovation (L2B, C & D). The original construction completion for the entire Design Package was 10/19/17. The schedule has been impacted by the ED East Expansion Project, abatement issues in the Minus 1 level, noise restrictions during normal work hours, and utility shutdown scheduling issues on the 2nd & 5th


39

floors. The total schedule impact is not yet known, but anticipated to be in the 4 to 6 month range. The dates below do not yet fully reflect these impacts. The incremental dates for the phased areas are as follows: For L2B Prep Hold Recovery North & South; the work started on 11/30/15 and is planned to be substantially complete on 8/26/16, 5½ weeks later than the original schedule date of 7/20/16. For L2C ORs 1-4, Locker Rm, Frozen Section; is scheduled to start on 9/13/16 and is planned to be substantially complete on 8/30/17, 3 weeks later than the original schedule date of 8/10/17. For L2D Prep Hold Recovery Central & West Corridor; is scheduled to start on 4/21/17, and will be substantially complete on 12/18/17, 7 weeks later than the original schedule date of 11/2/17. The occupants in this area are intended to be relocated in the new space related to ED East Expansion Project. The schedule for that work has slipped, and the Phase II schedule will be impacted due to construction “work arounds” related to the existing occupants. The project team is currently working to resolve this issue. The 5NN Pulmonary Diagnostics Renovation work started on 2/3/16, and is planned to be substantially complete on 10/14/16. Work Accomplished This Period Design Package 04 Montlake Tower work:

1. For 2SA, the Operating Rooms went live on 11/2/15. A design change to reduce noise in the HVAC ducts was tested in January, and produced positive results. The change has been accepted and will be implemented in all seven new ORs, beginning in March, and will also be implemented in the four future ORs.

2. For 5SA, the work was completed in December and the ICU Unit received their first patient on 2/28/16.

3. For 6SA, the work was completed in December and the ICU unit received their first patient on January 26, 2016. The minor punch list work in the area continues.

4. For 7SA, the work was completed on 2/17/16 and the “Go Live” date for 7SA is scheduled for April 5, 2016.

Design Package 07 The demolition progressed in L2B South to the point build back of new walls started on 2/25/16. The demolition work in 5NN started on 2/3/16. The abatement work on the HVAC duct in the Minus 1 area continued. The mechanical work in Minus 1, to support the new ORs in L2C, continued. The Soiled Material Lift structural steel work was completed, and the lifts are on site, ready to be installed.


40

Plans for Next 30 Days The demolition and abatement work will continue on Minus 1, and the 1st and 2nd floors related to the DP07 work. The build back of the new walls will continue in L2B south. The Soiled Material Lift equipment will be installed. The mechanical work will continue on the Minus 1 level. The investigation and planning for the duct routing on the Minus 1 Level will continue. The new strategy for the Prep Hold Recovery Central will continue to be developed. This strategy is to mitigate impacts from the ED East Expansion Project. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project forecast now anticipates an approximately $1.2M overage unless a reduced scope or other mitigation measures are developed. The early estimates for DP07 which forecast higher costs than originally anticipated did materialize in the bid process and budget analysis/reconciliation and VE procedures were employed to mitigate the initial overage on this specific package of work. However the rate of project changes has continued to escalate sharply due primarily to a range of unforeseen conditions in the oldest areas of the medical center, work stoppages due to impacts to ongoing medical operations, and the actual infection control measures that have been necessitated to accomplish the work. Analysis of scope changes in the future bid packages and process improvements within the medical center are ongoing in an attempt to mitigate the primary conditions contributing to the cost growth in the future.


41

CHANGES IN SCOPE The Design Package 8 scope will be reconsidered to maintain the overall project budget. BUYOUT STATUS The buyout for the first three major phases of construction is now complete. This work represents approximately ninety-seven percent of the total value of all subcontracts.

NanoEngineering & Sciences Building Project #204878

February 2016 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 2017.

The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Hoffman Construction Co, located in Seattle WA. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

SCHEDULE VARIANCE The date of substantial completion was adjusted in November to reflect the approved scope increase that builds out the remaining lab floors. The new date is April 27, 2017. The GC/CM is carrying a variance on the construction schedule which increased to 13 days in February. The critical path for the construction schedule is currently driven by the concrete building structure and the curtainwall completion. The structure is now above grade and the subcontractor is finding increased efficiency in construction which could help reduce that variance. The curtainwall is driven by the shop drawing and the fabrication schedule. The design and construction teams are working to expedite the final review of the documents and to sequence the fabrication in a way that will bring the activity durations back down. WORK ACCOMPLISHED THIS PERIOD The west side of level three was poured and the east columns and shear walls to level four were also poured.

The Provost approved the build-out of level one which includes two classroom spaces as well as an informal learning and lobby area. The smaller of the two classrooms is planned to provide lab equipment for general assignment classroom time. The


46

equipment will facilitate a “maker space” centered on clean energy technologies. ZGF is currently working on the final design of this space.

The expanded scope permit package for the fit-out of levels G, 3, & 4 was submitted to the city of Seattle for Permit review.

One bid package was opened during February for the traffic coating finishes. This package came in less than the bid-day estimate by 15%.

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 documentation work will continue with a full construction package scheduled to be issued in April.

The construction activities are continuing on level four. The work to place the slab floors will continue at a pace of one a month for the next month.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current budget and forecast is now set at $87.8 million, with $5.9M added for the build-out of level one. The most recent bidding has been on or under budget and we expect the project to finish under the budget. Until the final documents for recently added scope are issued and the work procured and constructed, this positive variance is at risk. However, the project team continues to review opportunities for cost reduction while still maintaining the approved project scope.

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The construction market is currently experiencing increased escalation and volatile market conditions as the Seattle economy continues to boom. This climate is straining the construction labor pool and limiting the pool of bidders able to perform the work. This project, like others locally, is seeing younger craft labor 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. This is reflected with the slippage of schedule. The Construction Manager is actively working with their major subcontractors to find solutions to maintain production goals and milestones while still ensuring a safe work environment.

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

February 2016 Project Manager: Ken Kubota and Eldon Tam

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 celebrate the museum’s goals to foster understanding and inspire wonder about the Northwest and our place in the world. It will emphasize the power of object-based learning to inspire curiosity, generate new knowledge, foster understanding of the role that collections play in our shared natural and cultural heritage, and highlight the connection between people and the environment in every aspect of the museum, from research, exhibits, and programming to the museum’s building, grounds, and business practices. The project is expected to result in an architecturally noteworthy facility that: 1) enables the Burke to simultaneously protect and share collections that constitute the natural and cultural heritage of the people of Washington state; 2) facilitates

New Burke Museum, #203007

53

meaningful visitor engagement with Burke Museum research and collections; and 3) creates a valued public amenity that connects the community to both the mission and campus of the University of Washington. 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. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold is the target certification goal. Accessibility will be integrated into the new facility to provide ADA compliance. The project architect is Olson Kundig (OK), 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 full amount of state funding needed from the 2015 legislative session delayed the start of construction. Schedule Variance The project received Board of Regents approval of the site and budget at the February meeting. The team is targeting construction start in mid-May 2016. The Capital Planning & Development Office and the Burke Museum have verified the cash flows are adequate to meet project needs until July 2017. The completion of the project requires an additional $24M of state funding. If this funding is not provided by July 1, 2017, the shell and core of the building will be complete but further work will be paused.


54

Work Accomplished This Period The Regents approval of the project was completed. The design work is progressing to 100% CD phase in March 2016. The Process Partners permit set review was completed. The bid packages for early works and packages critical for BIM modeling will bid first. These packages are being prepared for bidding starting in March. Plans for Next 30 Days The GC/CM contract will be prepared with NSS work. After bidding is completed and approved, Amendments to the contract will be prepared. 100% CD review is being scheduled with process partners. The site logistics plans will be finalized. The structural package is being estimated so values can be negotiated with the contractor prior to bidding. A final cost estimate will be prepared. The funding for Phase 1 to July 2017 will be transferred to CPD and the budget will be updated. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The legislature approved $26 million of the $46.2 million of state funding needed for the project. The University has submitted a request for the 2016 legislative session for the remaining funding. If the funding is not approved a new funding request will be submitted for the 2017 biennium request. The language in the 2015-17 biennium budget recognizes the need for increased project funding due to a delayed start date.


55

CHANGES IN SCOPE None anticipated this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION The initial set of bid packages covering early works will be advertised to the contractor community on February 15. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Matching the project timeline to the timeline for securing state funds is a challenge. The private fundraising and fundraising from other sources has strong momentum. 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

February 2016 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

North Campus Housing, #204350

57

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 is the architect, Olin Studios is the Landscape Architect, both are of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 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 GC/CM contract with WG Clark will be issued with a limited Notice to Proceed (NTP) date of 2/8/16. The work is limited to abatement, McCarty demolition, and the early works infrastructure, including the Hansee Hall upgrade. The construction trailers have been mobilized to the site and security fencing installed at the construction boundary. The pedestrian detour signage is installed around the site to assist in wayfinding. Plans for Next 30 Days A number of bid packages will be opened for specific scopes for the project in February. The demolition work at McCarty is scheduled to begin on March 14, upon


58

the completion of abatement. The various campus shops are scheduled to salvage MEP items and the elevators will be decommissioned in advance of demolition. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project budget and forecast is $240 million. The current funding is from HFS reserves, the remainder of the funding will be from the Internal Lending Program (ILP). The ILP will be paid from HFS revenues.

CHANGES IN SCOPE A wet lab and break-out/meeting spaces are in discussion for incorporation into building ‘C’ in lieu of the fitness center. A feasibility study is currently underway with Kieran Timberlake and the sub consultants.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The early selection of the general contractor along with early selections of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors has increased coordination and constructability as well as provided critical budget feedback. The permitting process with Seattle DCI is a critical path for this project. DCI is extremely busy and review times are exceeding the originally communicated timeframes. Although the MOA process has helped identify specific building permit comments and strategies prior to permit submission, review times and feedback at DCI remain the bottle-neck.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION

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

February 2016 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. The building has been unoccupied other than for storage uses and by the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant, which has been a mainstay in downtown Tacoma for decades and which will be moving to a nearby location. 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. Driven by UW Tacoma’s current projections of 4%-6% student growth per year, the UW Tacoma Campus Planning Office now 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 by the Legislature at $16M. The UW Tacoma funded the interior design and construction at $10.1M from UW Tacoma Reserves.

Schedule Variance The project is on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The demolition of the 2nd and 3rd floors is complete. The installation of micro-piles for the foundation is 20% complete. The demolition on the first floor is 30% complete. The design team worked to complete construction documents for the March bid period. A review meeting for low voltage systems was held early in the month to resolve issues. The team is collaborating with UWIT, who will provide WiFi design. The final review of the bid documents has been shifted to early March to ensure all the documents are complete.


70

Plans for Next 30 Days The construction team will continue to focus on the safe and efficient execution of the demolition, micro-piles and superstructures scopes of work. The project team will conduct a final review of specifications and bid drawings and develop bid packages. The majority of the bid packages are scheduled to post in the second half of the month. The team will continue to monitor the scope and estimate to ensure the project is within budget. 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.

SAFETY STATISTICS







CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION The paint removal on the 2nd and 3rd floor went smoothly. Some of the timbers were damaged by a past fire and have a darker hue. The construction of the 3rd floor superstructure to allow for the demolition of the 3rd floor concrete slab started at the end of the month. The micro-piles are also going well. The team did discover a 13’ well that needs to be decommissioned and filled. 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 is 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.

West Campus Utility Plant Project #204685

February 2016 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 demolition of the old and the installation of the new chilled-water distribution system piping continued. The submittal and procurement process for the equipment continued. The site work continued. The basement foundation elements were completed and the rebar cages for the basement walls were installed in preparation for the shotcrete. The installation of the foundation elements, including piles for the main floor began. The large fuel storage tank was installed. The permitting work continued in regard to the Street Improvement Permit (SIP) to be issued by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). The sequences-of-operation for the plant mechanical and power-generation/electrical systems were completed and the equipment selection for the instrumentation and controls was ongoing.

Plans for Next 30 Days The distribution system pipeline installation will continue. The walls of the basement will be completed and building the foundation for the main floor will continue. The under-slab electrical conduits and plumbing will be installed and the procurement will continue. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview Compelling opportunities to accelerate significant scope previously planned for phase 2 of the plant and distribution system improvements have been quantified and a request to increase the project budget to accommodate this new scope is planned for the Board of Regents meeting in March 2016.

CHANGES IN SCOPE There are 3 types of accelerated phase 2 scopes that are either already incorporated into the design build contract or may be in the future. These include: electrical – the phase 2 switchgear lineup; mechanical – the third chiller and appurtenances; and the

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES 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 recent requirements by SDOT to improve the driveway connecting the adjacent alley to 15th Avenue are delaying issuance of the SIP permit and creating new cost. The details are to be determined.
