Animal Research and Care Facility November 2013

Project Manager: Kurt Jensen

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

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

Animal Research and Care Facility

The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca and Flad Architects (ZGF/Flad). ZGF is located in Seattle and Flad is based in San Francisco, California. The general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period The Capital Projects Office, Office of Planning and Budgeting, Health Sciences Administration (HSA), and Treasury Office completed their work to provide additional information regarding the planning and budgeting process for the project as requested by the Board of Regents (BOR). The BOR approved the project budget of $123.5 million. Requests for Final Proposal (RFFPs) were issued to the most qualified MC/CM and EC/CM subcontractors. Negotiations for commissioning and design services contracts are proceeding. Plans for Next 30 Days The GC/CM will receive final proposals from MC/CM and EC/CM subcontractors and begin negotiations for preconstruction services. CPO will complete negotiations for design and commissioning services in preparation for initiating the schematic design phase.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget of $123.5 million was approved by the Board of Regents this month. The University will provide $26 million from central funds, and the balance of funding will be financed through the internal lending program.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The site has subsurface water runoff from upper campus, and much of the finished building will be below the water table. This will require special consideration by the design team relating to the building envelope and waterproofing systems, as well as additional efforts by the contractor during construction. The sloping site provides opportunities to bring natural light into the facility at strategic locations to improve the work environment for the staff.

The below-grade construction will connect to the Foege Building, the Foege loading dock, and potentially Hitchcock Hall. The project team will need to address the potential impact on these existing buildings and associated operations during construction. Locating the air intakes and building exhaust is a challenge with a below-grade building. The building design must respect long-term plans for expanding the underground facility and for a future above-grade building adjacent to Hitchcock Hall. The facility design will need to be flexible to adapt to future trends in animal research and to changing regulatory requirements. It will be challenging to find the right balance between optimum flexibility and project budget constraints. This project also presents opportunities to enhance and enliven the Portage Bay Vista open space that will be restored following the building construction and to improve the connection across NE Pacific Street to the upper campus.

Burke Museum Renovation November 2013

Project Manager: Randy Everett

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

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

Burke Museum Renovation

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

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor November 2013

Project Manager: Randy Everett

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

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance As previously reported, the client requested a construction start after the last football home game and subsequently requested a mock-up of a trail section prior to bidding. A concurrent design team delay occurred when the effort to complete the design documents proved to be greater than anticipated. The project team has been working to mitigate the combined impact of these delays. The current plan is to proceed with bidding concurrently with the mock-up and start Phase 1 construction by March 3, 2014, which is six months behind schedule. The team has set a goal to complete Phase 1 construction by October 31, 2014. If this is achieved, Phase 1 completion will be only two months behind schedule. The design work for Phase 2 has been delayed due to the priority of the Phase 1 bid schedule and continuing consideration of options for the intersection with Pend Oreille. Work Accomplished This Period Mock-up documents were developed and submitted for JOC pricing. Work continued on completing the Phase 1 bid documents. Scoping of the Pend Oreille intersection continued. Plans for Next 30 Days Pending the completion of the contract negotiations, construction of the mock-up will begin at the east end of the new trail segment at Mercer Court. Construction of the mock-up is anticipated to take eight weeks, which is weather dependent. After the mock-up is finished, it will be opened for observation.

The design team will continue to respond to final review comments and will incorporate value engineering ideas into the bid documents in order to align the project’s forecast cost with the approved budget in preparation for requesting Project Review Board approval to bid. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $6.1 million, which covers the design of both phases, plus Phase 1 construction. The current cost forecast is ten percent over budget. Value engineering ideas continue to be explored, in addition to developing bid alternates. The project is funded by UW Transportation Services (UWTS) and a matching grant. CPO is discussing the project forecast with UWTS to see if scope reductions are necessary or if additional funding will be provided.

CHANGES IN SCOPE A Pend Oreille underpass is being discussed as an addition to the Phase 2 design phase. The cost of this work is not included above. Once this scope has been approved by the client, an amendment to the Project Agreement and approval from the Board of Regents will be requested.

11


BUYOUT STATUS A construction contract for Phase 1 - Campus Reach will be bid and awarded in January and February 2014. SAFETY STATISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES UW Transportation Services would like to include the Pend Oreille underpass as part of this project. The Pend Oreille scope of work is estimated at $6-$7 million (project cost). Additional discussions will be conducted before adding the proposed scope. The potential for contaminated soils remediation has proven to be a budget challenge. Phasing and pedestrian traffic will drive the construction schedule. Alternate bus stops will need to be addressed, as well as overpass shutdowns. Bidding the project in January is an aggressive plan, considering the number of tasks still to be completed for design and permitting.

Fluke Hall Renovation November 2013

Project Manager: Kurt Jensen Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

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

13

Fluke Hall Renovation

Plans for Next 30 Days The design team will complete the DD drawing submittal and submit the permit application to the City of Seattle. CPO and their process partners will begin review of the DD phase submittal. The design and construction team will continue work to refine the budget estimate based on the completed DD design. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The Board of Regents approved a project budget of $28.5 million in May 2012 with the understanding that this preliminary budget may change following completion of the schematic design phase. The administration committed to return to the BOR for final budget approval prior to start of construction. The predesign study indicated all of the planned scope may not be achievable within the available funding, which was later confirmed. Cost reduction alternatives have been developed through value engineering (VE). The project team has agreed to accept the majority of the VE recommendations, resulting in a total project cost forecast and new target budget of $31.5 million, as shown in the Forecast column below.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period.

Fluke Hall Renovation

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

Housing–Lander Hall Replacement November 2013

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

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

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Construction was completed on time based on the revised October 2012 schedule. As planned, the lower three floors were completed on October 15, and the residential floors were finished on November 13. Full occupancy was achieved eight months ahead of the original schedule approved by the Board of Regents in February 2011. Work Accomplished This Period Substantial completion was achieved on November 13, and the certificate of occupancy was received from the city on November 14. This is a fantastic outcome for the project and a true measure of combined effort by the entire team. All inspections have been completed and all permits are signed and complete. The construction phase of the project finished strong: injury-free for the last seven months. Plans for the Next 30 Days The primary activities will be kitchen equipment start-up and furniture installation. Punchlist corrective work will continue. Student belongings will be moved from Terry Hall to Lander Hall during the break between Autumn and Winter Quarters. Residential occupancy of Lander Hall will occur at the start of Winter Quarter.

18

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project budget is $77 million, which includes furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), to be procured by Housing and Food Services (HFS). During the design phase, a portion of the FFE budget was shifted to construction to cover the cost of enhanced scope requested by HFS. These enhancements did not impact the total project cost. There are no changes in the cost forecast from last month. With the emergency generator also added during design, the total project cost forecast is $77.8 million. HFS provided additional funds to cover the increased cost for the generator. Most of the project funding is from the University’s internal lending program. Energy conservation rebates from Seattle City Light will reduce the amount borrowed to fund the project.

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

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Development of the coordinated shop drawings for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) work during the design phase helped to reduce the cost of change orders during the construction phase. Preliminary indications are that the cost of MEP change orders are approximately 50 percent less than for Alder Hall, an earlier completed residence hall. The accident-related work suspension and below-grade sewer main replacement delayed completion of the café and parking garage floors to October 2013. This made it challenging to complete the project in time for occupancy at the start of Winter Quarter 2014. The project success is a tribute to tremendous team support and effort from Housing and Food Services, Mithun Architects, Walsh Construction, and the skills of many other firms. This building should be a source of pride to the people involved and future generations of students who will call it home.

Housing–Maple and Terry Halls November 2013

Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker Construction Manager: Steve Folk

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

Housing-Maple and Terry Halls


Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Subcontract bidding concluded as planned with favorable overall results. Three bid packages are being reviewed for scope revisions and will be rebid in an effort to align those subcontract values with the pre-bid estimate. The GC/CM contract was prepared and circulated for review and signature. The 3D building informational model (BIM) restarted after allowing time for the design team to complete the 100 percent construction documents. Plans for Next 30 Days Subcontract bidding will conclude. The GC/CM construction contract will be executed. The 3D building information model (BIM) will advance to the final coordination phase. The design team will work closely with the contractor on the BIM efforts in order to conform all design documents in January. The site logistics and way-finding signage will be completed so that signs can be fabricated and delivered in January. Outreach events will continue with the neighboring community, including a brown bag lunch presentation to the Applied Physics Laboratory and other Henderson Hall occupants.

SAFETY STATISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Early selection of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors, along with early bidding for the sprinkler and storefront glazing system, has allowed those subcontractors to participate in the completion of the construction documents. This early involvement is improving coordination of the work, which will reduce change orders during the construction phase. Based on soil and groundwater testing, perchloroethylene (PCE) was discovered in a monitoring well on the site. Remediation will increase the cost for excavation and possibly long-term treatment of the groundwater in the footing drains.

ICA Husky Ballpark Design-Build November 2013

Project Manager: Ken Kubota Construction Manager: Don Romain

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will enhance the existing Husky Ballpark facility in its current location. The project is being completed in two phases. Phase 1 (Team Building) added a 9,000 gross square foot (GSF), two-story structure located adjacent to the right field out-of-bounds line to provide a home for the baseball team. The Team Building was completed in February 2012. The facility includes a team locker room, training room, showers and toilets, meeting rooms, offices for coaches, a locker room for umpires, an elevator, and a field-viewing deck. Phase 2 (Grandstands) will add facilities for spectators, a press box located behind home plate, and seating extending down each foul line (a total of 25,000 GSF). Included will be 2,300 chair and bench back seats and a partial roof; a press box; viewing deck; home and visitor dugouts; ticket office; concessions; public restrooms; and site development, including grading, paving, drainage, fencing, utilities, lighting, and signage. The design-build team is comprised of Bayley Construction, located in Mercer Island, with SRG Architects, located in Seattle. A new Player Development Building (8,800 GSF) for indoor pitching and batting practice is also included in Phase 2. It was designed by SRG, using the ICA Master Term Agreement, and bid separately. The low bidder was Bayley Construction, and a general contract was awarded for that work.

Montlake Triangle Project November 2013

Project Manager: Andy Casillas

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Montlake Triangle Project (MTP) is a multi-agency effort consisting of three subprojects centered around the intersection of Pacific Street and Montlake Boulevard. The project scope includes lowering NE Pacific Place and constructing a land bridge that will connect the Montlake Triangle and the lower Rainier Vista with a seamless pedestrian experience. Transit patrons will access the triangle via a combination of existing crosswalks and a new bridge across Montlake Boulevard. The MTP subprojects will be constructed sequentially and scheduled to minimize impact to adjacent work projects. These subprojects consist of the following elements: • Montlake Pedestrian Bridge--Subproject 1 (SP1) – This project will provide pedestrian

and bicycle connections between the future light rail station at Husky Stadium and the Montlake Triangle. Sound Transit is managing design and construction of this $11.4 million project.

• Rainier Vista Land Bridge--Subproject 2 (SP2) – This bridge will span Pacific Place and connect the Montlake Triangle to Rainier Vista. The UW is managing design and construction of this $20.8 million project.

• Rainier Vista Land Bridge Site Improvements--Subproject 3 (SP3) – This project will provide landscaping, hard surfacing, lighting, and other site improvements from Stevens Way through the Montlake Triangle. The UW is managing design and construction of this $4.5 million project.

33

Montlake Triangle Project

Funding for these projects will be provided by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) ($22M), Sound Transit ($12M), and the University ($4M), with an additional $5 million in contingency reserve funded by WSDOT. The designer is KPFF Consulting Engineers of Seattle. The landscape architect is Gustafson Guthrie Nichol. The general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is a joint venture of Sellen Construction and Gary Merlino Construction, both located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance SP2/3 construction completion is forecast six weeks earlier than originally planned when the project was approved. Work Accomplished This Period The Montlake Pedestrian Bridge (SP1) construction work being carried out by Sound Transit continued along the northern tip of the triangle. Elevator work progressed with installation of machinery components, which had been delayed. Railings and other accessories are being held pending completion of the elevator machinery installation. Bids were opened for all SP2/3 subcontracts. After all bids were evaluated, it was determined that two subcontracts, representing five percent of the total buyout, will have to be rebid. Plans for Next 30 Days On SP1, the bridge elevator machinery installation will continue. Installation of stair railings and other accessories will follow. On SP2/3, the GC/CM contract will be prepared and presented to Sound Transit and WSDOT for review and approval to proceed.

34


PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview Following are the approved subproject budgets: Montlake Pedestrian Bridge—SP1 (by Sound Transit): $11.4 million Rainier Vista Land Bridge—SP2: $20.8 million Rainier Vista Land Bridge Site Improvements—SP3: $4.5 million The project budget includes two subproject components as outlined above. The combined SP2/3 budget is $25.3 million, and the current forecast is on budget. The construction contingency included in this forecast is less than typical for UW major projects. The project team will manage the contingency carefully and will strive to complete the project within budget. The overall project funding plan includes a WSDOT construction reserve, which provides an additional level of protection in case unforeseen conditions or events cause construction change orders to exceed the SP2/3 contingency.


35


BUYOUT STATUS With subcontract bidding 95 percent complete, the forecast buyout total is three percent under the escalated 2011 construction cost estimate. The GC/CM contract is being prepared for execution next month.

Southwest Campus Central Utility Plant November 2013

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

37

Southwest Campus Central Utility Plant

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

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

38

Southwest Campus Central Utility Plant

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Meeting the schedule goals will be the primary challenge for this project. Creating the tools and internal agreements for the progressive D/B method will require extensive coordination and communication. A closely related challenge will be defining and assuring the performance of the facility, which is a robust industrial grade utilities plant with architectural qualities commensurate with its campus gateway location. This must be accomplished within a fast-track delivery method. Permitting, including State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), master use permit, construction, and electrical/energy code compliance, will have to be tightly coordinated with the D/B sequence of major tasks.

UW Bothell Student Activities Center November 2013

Project Manager: Steve Tatge

Rendering approaching 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 Community College. UWB has a growing enrollment of over 3,800 students (3,300 FTE) and has rapidly evolved into a four-year institution after initially accepting only upperclassmen and graduate students. The campus recently opened its first student housing facility, and newly leased and renovated space in the Beardslee Building has further expanded the campus footprint. Given the enrollment growth and expanded facilities, the student population is currently underserved by traditional campus amenities, such as a student union building and fitness facilities. The proposed building, to be located immediately south of (and connected to) the existing North Creek Events Center (NCEC), is expected to be approximately 35,000 gross square feet. LMN Architects of Seattle is the project architect. The general contractor/construction manager is Skanska USA Building, Inc. of Seattle.

47

UW Bothell Student Activities Center


Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Design and coordination work continued with the building committee and various campus stakeholders. The project was reviewed with the executive administration from UWB and CCC, and approval was given to proceed with the design direction. Work continued on the planned unit development (PUD) application for land use entitlement through the City of Bothell. Initial approaches to site logistics and laydown area were considered for this very challenging site. There was detailed coordination on the design of the fitness area with UWB recreation staff and the planned fitness equipment vendor. Plans for Next 30 Days The initial construction cost estimate will be received from Skanska, and design and coordination will continue. The early design will be reviewed with the University’s Architectural Commission and Landscape Advisory Committee. An approach to site logistics and laydown area will be determined. Work on the PUD application will continue. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project cost forecast is on budget at $18.85 million (exclusive of financing costs). The majority of the project funding comes from the University’s internal lending program, with additional funding from the UWB Student Activity Fees (SAF) and $290,000 from Cascadia Community College.

UW Medical Center Expansion Phase II – Montlake Tower

November 2013 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 inpatient 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. Scope will include new operating rooms (ORs) on Level 2 and intensive care or medical surgery units on Levels 5, 6, and 7. Renovation work will consolidate and organize clinics in wings 7 east and 8 southeast and will provide the support space and infrastructure necessary to make each component fully operational. To maintain continuous hospital operations throughout construction, the project will be organized sequentially in multiple construction phases allowing for incremental occupancy milestones, which may be adjusted for patient and operational needs or infrastructure requirements. The project architect is NBBJ of Seattle, and the GC/CM is Mortenson Construction, located in Kirkland.

51

UW Medical Center Expansion Phase II


Schedule Variance The design, permitting, and buyout durations are extended to accommodate delivery of different document packages for multiple construction phases. The first phase of construction is forecast to start two months early. The last phase of construction is forecast to finish one week later than originally planned. Work Accomplished This Period Bid packages were issued and advertised for the 8SE Oncology Clinic Renovation. Two pre-bid meetings were held for interested subcontractors. Relocation of existing staff and patients in 8SE is underway and is being coordinated by the UWMC Design and Construction staff. The 3-D building model for the 8SE work is complete, which resulted in successful resolution of more than 150 potential coordination issues in the above-ceiling area. This early coordination will translate into cost savings when the work gets underway. Budget reconciliation is in progress on the design development (DD) documents for the remaining 95 percent of the project scope. Budget meetings in November were productive, but more work remains to complete the reconciliation. The project architect is focused on completing the construction documents for the remaining work. The next construction document design package received will be for the build-out of the Montlake Tower Floors 5, 6, and 7.

52


Plans for Next 30 Days Bids for the renovation work in the 8SE Oncology Clinic are due in early December, and work is scheduled to begin the first week in January. Construction trailers for contractor staff will be mobilized. Budget reconciliation on the DD document estimates will be completed. Preconstruction project safety meetings will be held to complete the project hazard analysis. Infection Control Risk Assessment planning for 8SE will continue throughout the month. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project forecast is on budget at $186.3 million.

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

53


OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES As the start of construction work approaches, project safety hazard review work intensifies. Preplanning is one of the essential elements of safety, both for the contractors and the Medical Center. Planning for the work and orienting the influx of new construction workers into the project safety culture will be the most important challenge. The recent DD estimating process has resulted in a potential opportunity to reduce overall cost by shortening the 44 month phased construction period. All parties are interested in this alternative and the Medical Center Administration and staff will be working with the design and construction team in the coming months to evaluate how this can be achieved without significantly modifying ongoing Medical Center operations. The GC/CM has developed a very well thought out plan for material delivery into the building. Managing the impact to the hospital at the start of construction work is the highest priority.

54

UW Police Department Facility November 2013

Project Manager: Ken Kubota PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will provide an upgraded new University of Washington Police Department (UWPD) facility in a more central location that will facilitate greater accessibility to the University community. The site for the project is just south of Gould Hall, occupying a portion of the W14 Parking Lot and the 3945 and 3937 buildings on 15th Avenue. 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 38,000 square foot building is envisioned to be architecturally significant, with a program and features to support a modern and highly capable UWPD operation for decades to come. The conceptual design envisions two stories of police office use, with a basement level garage for fleet vehicles. The program includes police offices, a dispatch and communications center, records, 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 and 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

55

UW Police Department Facility Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period A draft Project Agreement is being circulated for comments. Contract negotiations with the architect were completed, and the design contract is being prepared. GC/CM interviews and the subsequent bid opening were completed. The highest scoring firm was BNBuilders, located in Seattle. Plans for Next 30 Days The Project Agreement, architect contract, and GC/CM preconstruction agreement will be executed. Project design meetings will commence. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The budget is $19.5 million, and the forecast is currently on budget. The project will be funded by $15.5 million from a WSDOT SR 520 mitigation payment and $4 million from UW central funds. The mitigation payment is associated with transfer of ownership of the Bryants Building property (current UWPD location) for the purpose of constructing a waterfront park, to be built and operated by the City of Seattle.

UW Police Department Facility CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. 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 facility more visible, as many students, faculty, and staff do not know its current location. This project has budget challenges that require all University standards to be reviewed, and compromises will be necessary. The initial predesign budget was reduced to remove costs related to UW buildings and standards, and other costs not directly related to the project. This project is modeled on typical northwest police station costs, and private sector standards will be applicable.

UW Tacoma University YMCA Student Center November 2013

Project Manager: Steve Tatge

Rendering from Market Street with potential signage PROJECT DESCRIPTION UW Tacoma and the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties are collaborating to build a full-service Y on the UWT campus. The building size will be 70,300 gross square feet (GSF). Program elements will include a gymnasium, cardio and weight training facilities, indoor walking/jogging track, multipurpose exercise rooms, student government and club space, meeting rooms, a large dividable assembly space, and locker rooms. The facility will serve UWT students, faculty, and staff, as well as other Y members. The project will contribute to the missions of both institutions. UWT will gain a campus facility that combines the functions of a student recreation center and a student union. The Y will expand the number of people it currently serves through healthy-living facilities and outreach programs. The building will be constructed and owned by the UW, leased to the Y, and operated and maintained by the Y. All UWT students will become members of the Y, and UWT faculty and staff who choose to join the Y will also be able to use the facility. Like all Y members, the students and participating faculty/staff will also have access to any of the nine Y facilities throughout Pierce and Kitsap counties. The selected design/build (D/B) team is comprised of Mortenson Construction, located in Kirkland, and McGranahan Architects, located in Tacoma.

59

UW Tacoma University YMCA Student Center


Schedule Variance The D/B team’s schedule continued to be impacted by contaminated groundwater conditions, but a revised schedule has been issued, which still achieves occupancy earlier than the original plan approved by the board of Regents. Work Accomplished This Period The Department of Ecology (DOE) responded to the University’s letter summarizing the groundwater conditions and proposal for how the building design will address those conditions. The finding was that the measures proposed are a reasonable approach to mitigating the conditions, though there is still risk in proceeding with construction on this site. DOE issued a ruling that the soils do not constitute “dangerous waste,” which would have greatly increased disposal costs. Design coordination continued with UWT and YMCA staff, and development of the design and permitting documents continued. Mortenson set up temporary offices in the existing Longshoreman’s Hall and began work preparing the adjacent site for laydown and trailer space. The project team continued working with the City of Tacoma on permitting, and hopes to expedite the initial permit to demolish the Longshoreman’s Hall. Initial concepts for signage and branding of the facility were reviewed, addressing the dual identity as a UWT and a YMCA facility. Options for minor scope modifications and their associated costs were considered, and those that were non-essential were eliminated.

60


Plans for Next 30 Days The groundbreaking ceremony will be held on the site. The initial permit to demolish the Longshoreman’s Hall is anticipated. Design and coordination will continue, as will working with the City of Tacoma on permitting issues. An approach to building access control will be developed, and options for workstations and furnishings in the student government offices will be reviewed. A testing and inspection agency will be selected, and the approach to commissioning will be finalized. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $20 million, exclusive of financing costs. The cost of addressing the discovered groundwater conditions will be covered by additional funding, but the full team continues working to minimize any cost and schedule impact.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None at this time. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable to this project.

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

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

63

wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ (Intellectual House)


Schedule Variance Design was completed September 30, one month later than originally planned. Construction bids received in October were substantially over budget, which necessitates scope revision and rebidding. Preliminary indications are that this will cause a three-month delay to the start of construction. Occupancy is forecast to be in Winter Quarter 2015. Work Accomplished This Period A budget control log was developed, itemizing scope reductions with a goal of achieving $1 million in construction cost savings. The revisions to the design will not change fundamental program elements, including the size of the gathering hall, the exterior gathering circle, and other key elements as identified by the stakeholders and working groups. Plans for Next 30 Days The scope of the project will be revised, aligning the work to the available budget. The revisions identified on the budget control log will be redesigned and estimated for cost. Revised bid documents will be completed. The project will be advertised for rebid with a bid opening planned for late January. The design team will submit amendments to the building permit. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project budget is $5.85 million. Due to the bid overrun, the project design is being revised to fit within the available funds.

64


CHANGES IN SCOPE As described above, scope revisions will be required in order to meet the project budget. BUYOUT STATUS The goal is to rebid the project with a bid opening in January 2014. SAFETY STATISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES When completed this project will be a unique landmark on the campus and it will be important for it to fit into a natural landscape that supports the nature of the building and the culture it represents. Opportunities for this project include the following: • Make Native people “visible” on the UW campus; • Offer a meeting place for UW Native American students, faculty and staff; • Visibly manifest and symbolize the importance of Native traditions in the institutional

culture;

65


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

• Enhance recruitment and retention of Native students, faculty, and staff; • Serve tribes with resources and access to the University community; • Provide appropriate learning spaces for various UW courses and programs; • Educate the community with respect to cultures and values of indigenous people; and • Enhance the campus experience for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It will be challenging to revise the design while preserving the project program all within the budget. The design team is committed to achieving this goal.
