Ethnic Cultural Center Expansion March 2011

Project Manager: John Wetzel Construction Manager: Frank Martin

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Ethnic Cultural Center (ECC) was constructed in 1970; it was renovated and expanded in 2001. The current ECC is 10,603 gross square feet (GSF) and is located on the southwest corner of NE 40th Street and Brooklyn Avenue NE. The ECC provides programs and a learning environment where students and student organizations collaborate, develop, and implement programs while building leadership and organizational skills. This student-funded project proposes to construct a new ECC (approximately 27,000 GSF) on the same site. It will address the need for additional conference and meeting rooms, support spaces, library, computer room, performing arts practice room, and administrative space to meet current demand and reasonable future growth. The University of Washington is a recognized leader in developing and supporting diversity programs. It is intended that the new facility will reaffirm and enhance the University’s leadership position among peer institutions. The architect is Rolluda Architects, Inc., of Seattle, Washington.

Ethnic Cultural Center Expansion PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project is currently about 12-13 months behind schedule. Various factors have contributed to this, including a redesign effort requested by the University and delay in getting the construction documents finalized. The project will be further delayed to review the historic and cultural significance of interior building murals and preservation options. Work Accomplished This Period The architects and their subconsultants have been addressing the architectural and mechanical issues identified by University reviewers over the past few months. An update on the selection of the mural consultant team and their initial findings was provided to the community at a regular meeting of the student group, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano/a de Aztlan (MEChA), on March 2. BOLA Architects began their research regarding the murals in early March. Interviews and correspondence has occurred with all of the artists who created the four main murals. A detailed database has been developed that catalogues all of the existing murals in the current ECC. An art conservator investigated several different methods of removing the murals from the gypsum board substrate. Tests were initially performed on non-asbestos-containing walls and then attempted under appropriate hazardous materials abatement containment procedures on walls that have a regulated amount of asbestos. The potential of salvaging larger pieces with their wood construction framing intact was researched.

2

Ethnic Cultural Center Expansion On March 15, the State Historic Preservation Officer (Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation) and representatives from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation met on site with BOLA Architects, CPO’s Director for Student life Projects, and the Environmental Planner to discuss project details. On March 4, CPO and the Campus Landscape Architect met with representatives (staff and parents) from the West Campus Childcare Center (WCCC) to finalize the design of the WCCC playground and proposed expenditure of the funding provided by the Vice President for Minority Affairs/Vice Provost for Diversity for their discretionary use. Facilities Services demolished the existing barbeque, and concrete block retaining wall, and stockpiled the existing concrete pavers for future reinstallation. Plans for the Next 30 Days A target date for completion of the final review set was initially set for March 22, but that was pushed back to April 1 to allow the consultants more time to coordinate their corrections. The University will back-check the document set to ensure comments and corrections have been properly incorporated. The design team will assemble new color and furniture boards for display in the temporary ECC at Condon Hall. Work will continue to resolve comments from the Seattle Department of Planning and Development on the building permit regarding the design of the fire shutters at the central stair at the ground floor level. It is anticipated that a revised solution will be presented to the city in early April. BOLA and its subconsultant team will finalize their research on the murals in early April and will provide a detailed report at the conclusion. An update on their findings and options will be presented to the community at the April 6 MEChA meeting. Cost estimates will be developed for various types of mural removal and preservation. This will assist the University in selecting a realistic path forward. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The approved budget is $15.5 million. In response to concerns expressed by the Board of Regents, CPO’s goal is to reduce project costs by ten percent to approximately $13.95 million. The current project forecast is slightly above $14 million. The cost impact of preserving the existing murals is currently undetermined. This will eventually affect the forecast cost.

Foster School of Business Phase 2—Balmer Hall March 2011

Project Manager: Steve Tatge Construction Manager: Dave Myers

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will replace the existing Balmer Hall with a new facility, primarily housing undergraduate classrooms, for the Michael G. Foster School of Business. The program also includes student organization offices; undergraduate, MBA, and executive education program offices; specialized program offices with support spaces; and a multipurpose/dining room and catering kitchen. The Foster Library book stack space currently located in the Balmer basement will be rebuilt in the new building. A trash and recycling area will be provided to serve the entire business school complex. The project will provide approximately 63,000 gross square feet. This project follows, and connects to, the privately-funded, first-phase PACCAR Hall project. Mackenzie Hall and the Bank of America Executive Education Center will comprise the rest of the Foster School complex, but they will not receive any alterations under either of the two projects. In accordance with the requirements of the state of Washington, the project will be designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. The architect is LMN Architects, the landscape architect is Swift and Company, and the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Sellen Construction, all of Seattle, Washington. These three firms had the same roles on the PACCAR Hall project.

7

Foster School of Business Phase 2—Balmer Hall PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Ninety percent of slab on grade concrete has been placed in the basement, and all underground piping is installed. The core walls have been placed to the penthouse level and the southern shear wall has been placed to the roof level. All perimeter concrete walls have been placed up to the 1st floor. Preclip and ledger angle installation for structural steel is 40 percent complete. Exterior foundation wall waterproofing is 50 percent complete. Plans for the Next 30 Days Structural steel erection will start, as will 1st floor mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) block outs and rebar installation. The bridge connections to PACCAR Hall will be installed. The basement level will be selectively prestocked with material, and basement wall layout will begin. The 1st floor elevated concrete deck should be placed later in the month. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST As shown in the project financial table below, the current forecast cost is significantly under the approved budget. As a result, the UW administration will borrow $5 million less than planned, making the effective target budget $41.6 million.

Hall Health Primary Care Center Clinical Units Remodel

March 2011 Project Manager: John Wetzel

Construction Manager: Peter Avratin

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The David C. Hall Health Center building was constructed in 1936 and substantially expanded in 1975. The Hall Health Primary Care Center (HHPCC) is made up of 18 functional units that offer a wide range of primary healthcare services to the campus population. The HHPCC shares this building with the Environmental Health and Safety Department (EH&S), which is located on the second and fourth floors. To increase the quality of healthcare services and enhance access to care, portions of the ground, first, and third floors (totaling 18,600 square feet) will be remodeled. Another 21,000 square feet will receive updated finishes. Additionally, a two-story expansion of approximately 2,700 square feet will fill in a portion of the small service courtyard on the south side of the building. The expansion is expected to improve patient and staff flow, reducing congestion in the registration and waiting areas. This is a student-funded project. The project architect is Miller Hayashi Architects. The general contractor is BNBuilders. Both firms are located in Seattle, Washington.

Hall Health Primary Care Center Clinical Units Remodel PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance In February, CPO and Hall Health Administration developed an alternative scenario to the Continuing Operations Plan provided in the construction documents. The plan involves uncoupling one pivotal schedule activity in order to gain some time overall. In the scenario developed by the group, instead of moving the three nurse triage rooms to an interim space on the west side of the building, they will now be temporarily absorbed into the newly expanded Primary Care South. This can be accomplished and still provided a level a service commensurate with the expectations of Hall Health Administration. In March, the contractor verified that these efforts had successfully recovered the schedule delay and it is now forecast to be substantially complete per the contract schedule. Work Accomplished This Period On the first floor, the contractor substantially completed the new billing office, patient services area, and waiting room and the client was successfully moved in. In late March, the contractor took over areas in Primary Care North, Primary Care South, Staff Break Room outside of pharmacy storage, and what will be the new medical promotions and records areas. Demolition is underway and roughly 50 percent complete in these areas. The contractor took advantage of spring break and the reduction in building traffic to complete a variety of hydronic and plumbing system upgrades including new domestic hot water heat exchangers, circulation pumps, steam flow meters, and hot water pumps. The contractor also completed a number of HVAC systems upgrades including replacing vane axial fans and coils.

14

Hall Health Primary Care Center Clinical Units Remodel Exterior addition construction continued. The contractor “dried-in” the building by installing the first layers to the permanent roof, window system and wall vapor barrier. Internally, the contractor completed fireproofing, framing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) rough-in to approximately 60 percent in the work areas. Fire alarm upgrades for the entire building began. The new fire alarm system will coordinate with the Safe Campus Fire and Life Safety Project concurrently underway. Plans for the Next 30 Days On the first floor, the contractor will complete the second phase of the demolition and abatement. By the end of the month, these spaces should be framed, drywall installed, and taped. The contractor will also complete all saw cutting of openings connecting the new addition to the existing building. Exterior closure work will continue, including metal siding, roofing final layer, parapet caps, flashing, and final details. Inside the addition, it is anticipated that the framing and MEP rough-in will be finished. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The committed funding for the project is $10.25 million, which is $98,000 more than the approved budget. The additional funding is to cover previously added scope of work for the improvements to the UW Club loading dock and refuse area. The remainder of the budget includes $8.75 million for tenant improvements to the Hall Health Primary Care Clinic, $400,000 for replacement of the building fire alarm system, and up to $1 million in lost revenue for HHPCC during the construction phase. The current cost forecast is $800,000 below the committed project funding. At of the end of December 2010, the accumulated lost revenue for HHPCC was approximately $60,000. Based upon the initial months of the project and the number of exam rooms available for use, the accumulated lost revenue at the completion of the project may be significantly below the estimated $1 million amount.

Harborview Hall Deconstruction & Urban Plaza March 2011

Project Manager: Barbara Post

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Deconstruction of Harborview Hall is one of the final projects in the Harborview Medical Center (HMC) Bond Program, a decade-long capital improvement program that started in 2002. The program is under the joint oversight of King County, the University of Washington, and the Harborview Board of Trustees, acting through the Bond Oversight Committee (BOC), which includes one voting member from each of the three entities.

Harborview Hall, constructed in 1931, was originally the living quarters for University of Washington nursing students. HMC remained the University’s primary hospital for nurses’ training until completion of the University Hospital in 1959. During the 1960’s, Harborview Hall was remodeled to house offices and research laboratories.

The scope of this project includes deconstruction of the seismically unsound building, followed by installation of an open urban plaza on the site. The structure to be demolished includes sections of an existing two-level tunnel running under 9th Avenue, connecting the East Hospital to the Research and Training Building. A protective enclosure will be designed and constructed in order to maintain the use of the tunnel.

After preliminary design was performed in 2003, this project was put on hold while two major new buildings in the HMC Bond Program were constructed. During 2009, the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board voted not to designate Harborview Hall as a landmark, which cleared the way to proceed with the project. During 2010, a new budget and contract strategy were developed, culminating with BOC approval in October, after which the project was reactivated.

A design/build contractor will be selected for this project. The architect chosen to prepare the design/build performance contract documents is NBBJ, of Seattle, Washington.

19

Harborview Hall Deconstruction & Urban Plaza PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Resolving issues related to the design/build contract language has taken longer than anticipated. The project is currently 10 weeks behind schedule, but with no overall impact to the client. After reviewing the construction duration with contractors and consultants, the construction duration has been shortened. This will allow for a more favorable planting season as well. Abatement could be expedited if needed to help maintain the schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The Master Use Permit public notice signage was ordered and installed. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being reviewed by legal staff to assure the language and terms of the Design/Build General Conditions and contract are correct. The team is continuing to work on the Request for Proposals (RFP) document set while Harborview staff is removing people and property from the building. The Bond Oversight Committee did not meet in March. Plans for the Next 30 Days The RFQ for the design/build team will be advertised, firms will submit proposals, and the contract documentation for the RFP will be finalized.

Harborview Hall Deconstruction & Urban Plaza PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The cost forecast is on budget at $6.65 million.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable to this project. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time.

21

Harborview Hall Deconstruction & Urban Plaza OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES This project presents an opportunity to provide open space for the community on the congested HMC campus. Deconstruction of Harborview Hall is complicated by the fact that it is surrounded on three sides by critical structures. The hospital’s main oxygen farm is adjacent to the building on the east side. The Research and Training Building is adjacent to the south, and the new Maleng Building, which houses patients, is in close proximity on the north side. Demolishing a ten-story structure in such tight quarters will be very challenging. The utility tunnels passing through the site present an additional challenge. Utilities will need to remain in full operation during the project. Due to the age of the building, substantial hazardous materials abatement will be necessary in conjunction with the deconstruction of the building.

22

Housing–Lander Hall Replacement March 2011

Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker

Night perspective of Lander Hall, looking toward southwest PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project was conceived as a substantial renovation of Lander Hall, which is located on NE Campus Parkway, two blocks west of the main Seattle campus. The building was constructed during the 1950s and now needs substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements to accommodate changes in the “live, learn” environment for today’s students. The predesign study demonstrated that Lander seismic deficiencies, failing infrastructure, and high-rise code requirements would be more expensive to correct than constructing replacement housing. The project plan is to replace 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 residence units, significant improvements integrating 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 sustainability goals are to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification and to meet the 2030 Challenge. Mithun is the project architect and landscape architect. Walsh Construction is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM). Both firms are located in Seattle, Washington.

23

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Schematic design is progressing on schedule. Project presentations were delivered to both the University Landscape Advisory Committee and the Architectural Commission. A contract for GC/CM preconstruction services with Walsh Construction was executed. A productive and successful design charrette with the architect, subconsultants, client, and GC/CM quickly familiarized Walsh with the project scope and integrated their personnel with the design team. Preliminary meetings were held with the transportation consultant evaluating vehicular circulation patterns around the project site. Plans for the Next 30 Days The schematic design phase is on schedule for completion in April. Follow-up design meetings will occur with the University Architect and Mithun to ensure the project design progresses in alignment with the direction provided by the Architectural Commission. Mithun will continue to develop diagrammatic plans showing vehicular circulation and landscape improvements in the immediate vicinity of the Terry and Lander site, taking into account recent housing development and access to campus. Walsh Construction personnel will be integrated into the ongoing weekly project design team meetings and will provide the schematic design phase construction cost estimate. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The total project budget is $77 million, which includes HFS purchases of furnishings, fixtures, and equipment. HFS used existing reserves to fund the predesign phase. The balance of funding will be financed using the university’s internal lending program.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES This project affords HFS an opportunity to upgrade and unify student services within the vision of the Housing Master Plan. Replacing Lander Hall with new construction presents an opportunity to truly integrate this site as the central hub for west campus housing. Cost implications of meeting the Housing Master Plan vision will continually challenge the design team. Cost modeling will be performed by the GC/CM through all phases of the

25

Housing-Lander Hall Replacement project. It is anticipated that these activities will focus the design efforts, reduce design costs, and enable development of the most efficient schedule.

26

Housing–Mercer Hall Replacement March 2011

Project Manager: Bob Baldwin

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is composed of student-focused apartments to be located on Site 29W/42W. The current plan anticipates five stories of wood frame housing above a concrete parking garage. The apartments will accommodate approximately 930 beds and will be located over an underground garage with approximately 170 parking stalls. The existing Mercer Hall, which is currently located adjacent to site 29W, will be demolished prior to construction of the new building.

The architects are Ankrom Moisan Architects of Seattle, Washington, with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios of London, United Kingdom. The landscape architect is Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, Ltd (GGN) of Seattle. W.G. Clark, also located in Seattle, is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM).

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

27

Housing–Mercer Hall Replacement

Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period The project was presented to the University Landscape Advisory Committee on March 10 with a new schematic design by GGN and received approval. Following the successful landscape presentation, the project received design development approval from the Architectural Commission on March 14. The project was also presented to the Board of Regents on March 17 for an informational update. Plans for the Next 30 Days Design development will be completed in April, and the construction document phase will begin. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project budget is $118 million, which includes Housing and Food Services (HFS) purchases of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. HFS used existing reserves to fund the predesign and part of the design phase. The balance of funding will be financed using the university’s internal lending program.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The design schedule is very tight. Selecting and designing the exterior building materials has presented challenges to the design team, and the landscape design has encountered a delay. Approval of the design development phase by the University Landscape Advisory Committee was originally anticipated in March, and it is now scheduled for June. This is not expected to delay the overall schedule.

Housing–New Residence Halls Phase 1 March 2011

Project Manager: Bob Baldwin Construction Manager: Steve Folk

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Department of Housing and Food Services (HFS) has developed a comprehensive Housing Master Plan, and this project represents Phase 1 of that plan. The purpose of the project is to construct residence halls on sites 32W, 33W, and 35W, all of which will be clustered around NE Campus Parkway, and to construct student apartments on site 31W. The facilities consist of five stories of wood frame construction above two stories of concrete. This phase of the program will house approximately 1,650 students. The planned occupancy dates are August 2011 for sites 31W and 33W and August 2012 for sites 32W and 35W. Mahlum Architects is the designer for all of Phase 1. W.G. Clark is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) for 31W and 32W, and Walsh Construction is the GC/CM for 33W and 35W. All of the firms are located in Seattle, Washington.

31

Housing—New Residence Halls Phase 1 PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Design and buyout for Phases 1A (sites 31W and 33W) and 1B (sites 32W and 35W) are scheduled as overlapping activities, which accounts for the variance from the original combined baseline. Except for Popular Hall, buildings remain on schedule for the planned occupancy dates. Walsh is estimating a three-week delay on Poplar Hall resulting from electrical changes. This delay will not affect occupancy of the building.

Housing–Terry Hall Project March 2011

Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will renovate Terry Hall, which is located on NE Campus Parkway, two blocks west of the main Seattle campus. The building was constructed during the 1950s and now needs substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements to accommodate changes in the “live, learn” environment for today’s students. The project scope also includes demolition and replacement of the center building (currently 1101 Café) between Terry and Lander Halls, as well as construction of a seven-story addition on the parking lot south of Terry Hall. The sustainability goals are to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification and to meet the 2030 Challenge. The project architect is Mithun and the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, both of Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview Predesign October 2009 – November 2010 Design January 2012 – September 2014 Construction August 2014 – July 2016 Occupancy August 2016 Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period Limited schematic design continued on Terry Hall, the Terry addition, and the new center building. The design effort is focused on showing the relationship between the Terry and Lander projects in areas where they intersect, verifying bed counts, and confirming that the available budget and scope are aligned. In order to better understand the application

41

Housing-Terry Hall Project of the code-required improvements based on the intended project scope, meetings were held with a building code consultant. Plans for the Next 30 Days Limited schematic design efforts will continue through April, at which time the design will be placed on hold until January 2012. Meetings will be held with the building code consultant and the Seattle Department of Planning and Development to establish the scope of the project in terms of code compliance for budgeting analysis. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The estimated budget for the Terry Project is $126 million, which includes HFS purchases of furnishings, fixtures, and equipment. HFS has used existing reserves to fund the predesign and initial design phase. CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Cost models do not support complete upgrade and replacement of the existing infrastructure in Terry Hall. Designers will be challenged to reuse existing infrastructure and explore alternatives to replacement of existing systems. HFS is committed to sustainability. The viability and efficiencies of existing and proposed systems will be explored through all phases of design and construction.

HUB Renovation and Expansion March 2011

Project Manager: Jon Lebo Construction Manager: Bob Dillon

North entry from King Lane

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Husky Union Building (HUB) was constructed in 1949 in the Gothic Revival style. The original south wing was added in 1952. An auditorium was added in 1963. The Husky Den and food services were expanded in 1975 and later remodeled in 2001. The current building is approximately 260,000 gross square feet. This student-funded project will create and enhance spaces, programs, and services to foster community engagement and offer opportunities for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other members of the campus community to appreciate their interactions with the University of Washington. Some features of the new HUB will be: enhanced multi-purpose areas for programs; improved meeting and board rooms for student government and organizations; an improved location and better visibility for the Student Resource Center; better visual and programmatic connection to the HUB lawn; lounges that enhance opportunities for collaborative interactions; and improved ballrooms and other event spaces. The project architect is Perkins+Will (P+W) and the landscape architect is Gustafson, Guthrie, Nichol Ltd, both of Seattle, Washington. Skanska USA Building of Seattle is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM).

43

HUB Renovation and Expansion


Schedule Variance The contract substantial completion date is July 6, 2012. Currently, the GC/CM is projecting substantial completion on August 20, 2012, which represents 45 calendar days of potential schedule impact. The delay is primarily due to late demolition completion and the fact that the existing south auditorium wing is rotated approximately 8 inches more than the record drawings showed. This condition was discovered after the structural and curtain wall systems shop drawings were started, causing redesign work and steel delivery delays. During the same period, the start of the exterior masonry and curtain wall work was delayed by design changes. The air/water barrier was changed from a sheet-applied product to a fluid-applied product, which resulted in revisions to 30 curtain wall details. These issues have now been resolved. It is anticipated that Skanska will be able to recover the lost days and pull the schedule back to the contract completion date. The contractor has been working selective overtime to accelerate the structural steel work and has developed a plan to construct the 12’x25’x7’ roof monitors off-site and to unitize sections of the curtain wall. Less time will be required to set these units in place, which will gain days on the schedule. Work Accomplished This Period Structural work progressed in and around stair 12, where the multi-purpose room intersects the main building. This is one of the most difficult structural elements of work on the project. The first slab on elevated deck was placed in this area, and structural steel was installed at the multipurpose room. During March, enough new structural steel and shear wall elements were installed to allow the removal of some of the temporary shoring. Underground plumbing was completed in the sub-basement. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) rough-in progressed in the sub-basement and basement levels. The MEP 3-dimensional coordination for the basement is nearing completion.

44


Plans for the Next 30 Days Structural steel work will be completed on the south side and move to the east face of the building. Exterior underground utility work will begin on the northeast side within the loading dock area. MEP rough-in will continue on the lower levels. Exterior masonry installation will begin on the southwest side of the building. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview Based upon substantial buyout savings, the current cost forecast is $118.4 million. This is nearly $10 million under the approved budget.

CHANGES IN SCOPE The Campus Automated Access Management System (CAAMS) will be added at the request of the client for the offices in the sub-basement areas for an added cost of $150,000-$180,000.

SAFETY STATISTICS While cutting existing rebar from the end of a concrete beam, a worker lost his balance and fell from the second to the first floor, approximately 12 feet. Although he hit debris on the floor below, his fall arrest safety line slowed his fall and prevented him from getting seriously hurt. He suffered minor scratches and bruises on his arms and legs and returned to work without any lost time or a recorded injury. An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the accident and determine whether there are opportunities for improving the work practice to reduce the risk of falls. The work on the site is challenging and workers are often in positions of potential risk. Safety is a top priority for the team and for all workers on the site.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The demolition and hazardous material abatement is substantially complete, and the structural rebuilding is under way. There are several new workers on the job every week, and incorporating them into the project safety culture is a constant challenge.

46


Bringing the project schedule back to the original completion date will be a very difficult undertaking. Skanska is pursuing several ideas to get the project back on track. Unforeseen conditions, design changes, and design completion require assimilation of new information into the project, while simultaneously planning to mitigate the impact of the revisions to the schedule. To date, Skanska has done a good job in this regard.

Husky Ballpark Project March 2011

Project Manager: Ken Kubota

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Husky Ballpark field was relocated in 1995 to its current location on the east campus, and a new playing field with an artificial infield surface was constructed. Over the years, a number of improvements have been added: field lighting, an enclosed practice batting facility, upgraded infield playing surface, dugouts, and a batter’s eye. Facilities for the coaches and players have remained off site in the Graves Annex building and the Hec Edmundson Pavilion. Spectator facilities consist of “temporary” wooden bleachers, portable toilets, a small concessions trailer, and a gravel walking surface. Attempts to build a proper grandstand with adequate team and spectator facilities have not been successful, and the overall ballpark, though having probably the best physical location in the Pac 10, is considered one of the worst facilities. The Husky Ballpark Project will add on to the present playing field in its current location. The project is envisioned as two phases. Phase 1 Team Building will construct a 9,000 gross square foot, two-story building located adjacent to the right field out of bounds line to provide a home for the baseball team. Included will be 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. Funding is in place for Phase 1 Team Building, and design work has started and will be followed by construction. Phase 2 Grandstand will construct facilities for spectators and press located behind home plate and extending down each foul line. Also included will be 2,500 chair-back seats and a partial roof; a press box; private boxes; home and visitor dugouts; ticketing office, concessions, public restrooms; site development including grading, paving, drainage, fencing, utilities, lighting, and signage. Fundraising for this phase is in progress with the goal to have adequate funding in place in approximately one year.

Safe Campus Fire and Life Safety Monitoring and Notification Project (Safe Campus Project)

March 2011 Project Manager: Norm Menter

Construction Manager: Jeannie Natta PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project involves modification of existing fire alarm panels in nearly 200 buildings on the Seattle campus. It will provide state of the art central monitoring of alarms and an ability to broadcast mass notification to the campus community in the event of a natural disaster, civil unrest, terrorism, or other public safety threats. The mass notification element of the project will implement paging systems in various campus buildings within limitations of the budget. The system design is based on proprietary fire alarm equipment to be provided by Simplex Grinnell, the sole source vendor of the fire alarm system on the Seattle campus.

The project architect is EHS Design Inc. of Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

67

Safe Campus Infrastructure Project

Schedule Variance Design and bidding of the panel replacement/mass notification system (MNS) contract finished behind schedule; however, the construction started on schedule and is expected to finish early. To recognize the work dependency between Simplex Grinnell equipment installation support and the construction contractor, the equipment purchase and installation schedule have been extended. Additional crews have been requested to assure a June 30 completion. Work Accomplished This Period Construction of the Fire Alarm Monitoring System continued approximately 40 days ahead of schedule; eight of nine phases are now complete. Construction of the panel replacement/MNS continued; work is approximately 25 percent complete. The IT cabling installation is ahead of schedule and approximately 60 percent complete. Simplex Grinnell equipment installation is on schedule and approximately 50 percent complete. Design of the fire alarm system upgrades with MNS for Kane, Meany, Sieg and Henderson Halls (final four buildings) was completed. Capital Resource Planning approved proceeding with bidding Kane Hall, with Meany Hall as an alternate. Equipment for those two buildings will be purchased prior to the bids being received.

Plans for the Next 30 Days Construction of the Fire Alarm Monitoring System and panel replacement/MNS will continue. The final design review effort for the final four buildings will be completed, and bidding will start for Kane and Meany only. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The 2009–2011 state capital budget provides $8 million from the UW Building Account (building fee and trust land revenues) for the project. Currently, $7.58 million in total project funds have been allotted. The forecast has been increased to reflect the current estimate of the Kane Hall building installation.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Meeting the project schedule remains a challenge due to the large number of buildings affected, the logistical complexity of the project scope, and the overwhelming demand the project places on critical UW and vendor resources. Thus far, construction is progressing on schedule or ahead of schedule, suggesting this risk will be retired by the close of the biennium. Remaining project risks include:

• The large number of buildings affected and the considerable amount of work to be completed in a short period of time create a significant challenge for Simplex Grinnell, UW Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S), UW Campus Engineering and Operations, and UW IT staff. The four organizations have secured additional resources to meet the schedule. The Simplex Grinnell Portland Office provided additional engineering personnel to help draft shop drawings. EH&S and Campus Engineering have streamlined standard construction oversight and support procedures. The Facilities Services fire alarm shop added temporary technicians to support this project. UW IT has retained a contract installer to complete the fiber cable plant installation.

• Design and construction contingencies are actively managed against known risks to allow execution of remaining scope (Kane and Meany) where possible as cost risks are retired and contingency funds become available.

Upon completion of construction, the new monitoring and notification system will require an extended period of effort by the fire alarm system vendor and UW staff for commissioning and training before the system can be fully operational. This effort will extend past the close of the current biennium. Funding decisions in Olympia are being closely monitored.

Smart Grid Demonstration Project March 2011

Project Manager: Norm Menter Construction Manager: Phil Smart

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The UW-Seattle City Light (SCL) Smart Grid Demonstration Project is one of the subprojects within the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project. The project was awarded an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) matching grant by the US Department of Energy (DOE) in November 2009. The Battelle Memorial Institute, Pacific Northwest Division, is the project lead organization. The project will enable measurement and digital communication of electrical consumption and production while implementing demand response strategies at various University facilities. This will facilitate the reduction of energy consumption and management of campus power production during both peak and off-peak times. Smart meters and related electrical infrastructure will be deployed in campus buildings. This will demonstrate the operational feasibility of a smart micro electricity grid at the consumer level. The project will install 204 smart meters in 178 campus buildings; upgrade 32 building automation control panels and eight building lighting control panels; and deploy sub-metering systems in two dormitory buildings and two academic buildings. It will also monitor existing campus photovoltaic power arrays, two existing central power plant diesel generators, and the existing power plant steam turbine. It will develop and deploy computer hardware and software, as well as advanced analytical tools for real time monitoring, analysis, reporting, and management of these campus electrical grid assets. Significant energy efficiency upgrades to the electrical distribution system, communications network, utility management infrastructure, building automation systems, and lighting control systems are included. Active monitoring of the electrical system will give facility managers the data to identify less-than-optimum building energy consumption trends and initiate maintenance intervention to improve operational efficiency. Baseline calculations completed during the project predesign phase predict significant steam and electricity savings by adjusting building automation control parameters, implementing no cost or low cost maintenance repairs, and modifying demand in order to limit operation of HVAC systems in selected campus buildings.

Smart Grid Demonstration Project


Schedule Variance The schedule has been negatively impacted by the delay in Battelle’s contract negotiations with the Department of Energy. To comply with ARRA funding restrictions, construction must be complete by June 2012. The baseline schedule modification has been approved by Battelle. This modification resolves the schedule variance caused by the decision to execute design concurrent with construction. Work Accomplished This Period The installation of smart meters continued. Approximately, 10 percent of the 204 meters are installed and operational. UW-IT deployment of the Facilities Network (or FacNet, formerly known as the VRF network) is ongoing and is now approximately 40 percent complete. The design of the transactive node (the automated communications interface with the regional project partners) is ongoing. Spirae, the university’s vendor tasked with designing and implementing the node, has completed the functional requirements specification. Plans for the Next 30 Days The design process will continue. The focus of McKinstry design efforts in April will be direct digital controls (DDC) replacement at Roberts Hall. Spirae design efforts will focus on detailed design of the initial node for responsive assets in the power plant. Installation of meters and build out of the FacNet will continue. The project team will hold the first of a series of meetings to identify opportunities for faculty and student interaction. Federal reporting will continue.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The technical complexity and “cutting edge” application of the technology represents a significant challenge and opportunity for the project. College of Engineering and Information School involvement will be important to ensuring project success. An academic stakeholders group has been convened and will provide peer review input to the project team at critical milestones in the process. The first of these meetings has been delayed due to competing workload commitments and is now planned for April. The DOE project metric reporting requirements continue to evolve. These requirements are extensive and represent a potential scope expansion and budget risk to the project. The project team has identified approximately $60,000 in additional effort required. Initial conversations with Battelle regarding additional funding to cover these costs were positive. The project team will continue to monitor reporting efforts to determine whether additional funding will be required.

UW Bothell Phase 3 March 2011

Project Manager: Steve Tatge

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Phase 3 project will provide additional academic space to support new and expanded degree programs at the Bothell (UWB) campus and will accommodate an increased capacity of at least 600 new full-time equivalent (FTE) students in approximately 75,000 gross square feet. This project will provide for general capacity expansion, including instructional labs necessary to support new science and technology programs, a 200-seat lecture hall/performance space, and classrooms sized and configured to meet the needs of the lower division curriculum that was initiated in 2006. The proposed facility will provide an efficient mix of new space to foster collaboration and meet the needs of the campus as a four-year institution. The increased capacity will facilitate the development of programs specifically targeted toward career paths in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), and Health. Directly related infrastructure and site work are included in the project. The project architect is THA Architecture, Inc., and the landscape architect is Walker Macy Landscape Architects, both of Portland, Oregon. The general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Lease Crutcher Lewis of Seattle, Washington.

UW Bothell Phase 3


Schedule Variance None at this time. Work Accomplished This Period The Planned Unit Development (PUD) application was submitted to the City of Bothell for review in advance of a planned hearing in early June. The 100 percent design development cost estimate was finalized.

Plans for the Next 30 Days The city of Bothell PUD application comments will be addressed, and the design development (DD) documents will be reviewed with various UW stakeholders. A test engineer/commissioning agent will be selected to review the DD documents. Work will begin on the construction documents, focusing on the initial site work package. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The 100 percent design development estimate indicates that the project is approximately 9 percent over budget, which is higher than both the schematic design estimate and the 50 percent DD update. A strategy for scope revisions and alternates has been previously reviewed and agreed upon, but it will not be adequate to bring the project back on budget.

76

UW Bothell Phase 3

A list of additional cost-saving items will be developed, and decisions will be made to bring the project back on budget. The state has appropriated $5,000,000 for design of the Phase 3 project. The Board of Regents has approved the project budget of $68,000,000. Construction funding was not included in the Governor’s budget, but the design effort is continuing, pending the outcome of the current legislative session.

CHANGES IN SCOPE Portions of the campus infrastructure improvements outside of the UWB-3 building, such as the Corp Yard and the extension of West Campus Lane, are under consideration as alternates and could be at risk depending on the bid package buyout results. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time.

UW Medical Center Expansion March 2011

Project Manager: Joel Matulys Construction Manager: David Marberg

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project provides a building addition directly south of the Medical Center’s Pacific Tower on Columbia Road and north of the Center on Human Development and Disability (CHDD). This addition will support the goal of delivering world-class care in a technically advanced and patient-centered healing environment. The work is planned for two phases. Phase One is an eight-level hospital addition. Levels one through four above grade and one and one-half below grade are mostly finished spaces, while above that are three unfinished (shelled) levels and one finished level. There is a large mechanical penthouse, supplementing the third level interstitial mechanical and electrical floor. These provide infrastructure for both the current phase and the future Phase Two tenant build-outs. The project scope encompasses a total of approximately 273,400 gross square feet. Phase One provides a new 50-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU); a surgical oncology unit that is being redesigned into an Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplant unit; diagnostic imaging expansion; warm shelled space for eight future operating rooms; reconfigured loading dock; complete mechanical/electrical basement and interstitial spaces, new emergency generator building and chiller, and a new oxygen tank farm, plus the three shelled floors, called the vertical expansion for clarity. Phase Two, a future project, would provide the finished build-out of the operating room suite and the three shelled floors for acute care nursing units. The architect is NBBJ and the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, both of Seattle, Washington.

UWMC Expansion PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance With the inclusion of the Level 8/Bone Marrow Transplant (L8/BMT) unit, the planned substantial completion date changed from May 12 to July 15, 2012. The project is currently on schedule, despite extreme weather problems. Work Accomplished This Period The project team has battled the heavy rains to keep the work progressing almost everywhere on the project. The L9 slab on metal deck (SOMD) concrete placement was squeezed in between downpours and was completed. The steel framing for the L10 penthouse was completed and steel framing at the perimeter edge and the soffit enclosures at the west and east edges was started. Rebar and formwork for the lower L10 penthouse curb wall continued. The steel infill and slab on metal deck between the old and new hospital at Pacific and Cascade towers is almost completed on all levels. Preparatory seismic joint work at all the vertical and horizontal intersections between old and new structures is underway. The final east and west elevator concrete core walls on L10 were completed, and the attached steel framing for shafts is progressing. The focus on enclosure and weather-protection continued with the building envelope installation on L2-3. Elevator work continued with the installation of rail supports and beams. Overhead mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) rough-in continued. Significant progress was made this month on L4 with the installation of much of the duct work, plumbing, and medical gas and hot water piping. From L minus 1 to L3, the team continued to connect to the major electrical and mechanical equipment. Fireproofing was completed through L8.

80

UWMC Expansion At the Central Utility Plant (CUP) exterior cladding is almost complete on the south half, and roofing is nearly finished. Electrical switchgear and mechanical equipment connection work progressed on the upper level. The patient room mock-up for L8/BMT continued with the painting and flooring installation. The revised casework in the L4 mock-up was installed and final preparation for painting proceeded. The first of two alternate NICU patient doors was installed and acoustically tested, and the second optional door is being erected. Maintaining a low closing noise level is very critical for these doors, because neo-natal infants’ hearts can stop due to a high impact noise. The L8/BMT construction documents were completed by the joint contractor-designer onsite team using 3D building information modeling (BIM). The team finished revisions for the L4/NICU OR and started working on L9 BIM adjustments necessitated by the code differences for a bone marrow transplant floor compared to an acute care floor. Plans for the Next 30 Days Coordination of the construction planning will continue for the wireless, infant security, telecom, and camera systems that are to be supplied by the hospital. The design-assist BIM coordination of changes will focus on the MRI and Angiography spaces. Some final building tie-in coordination will continue on both Pacific and Cascade Towers in unfinished areas. The courtyard work will begin. The elevator work will continue. Fireproofing will continue on the top floors. MEP rough-in will continue on all floors up to L6. Other mechanical and electrical work will continue on L minus 1 and L3 as the major equipment is connected. The exterior framing, sheathing, and cladding will continue to L5, and testing will continue. Roofing and exterior cladding at the CUP will continue. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview After the decision was made to build out L8 as a bone marrow transplant unit and shell the surgical oncology floor previously planned for L5, the forecast budget with scope changes was set at $210.5 million.

UWMC Expansion OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES

The greatest challenges for this project are as follows:

• Maintaining a safe environment for patients, staff, and construction workers;

• Preventing unscheduled work stoppages due to impact on medical procedures, and mitigating this extreme risk of delay;

• Incorporating the scope changes without impacting the current work or causing schedule delays;

• Working with the UWMC to move medical functions away from construction;

• Working closely with the CHDD, south campus, and medical center operations to avoid any disruption; and

• Finishing the construction within a very tight schedule in order to mitigate potential impact on other major projects in the immediate area.

UW Tacoma Phase 3 March 2011

Project Manager: Lanie Ralph Construction Manager: Pat Brown

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will provide additional academic space to support new and expanded degree programs at the Tacoma campus. The goal of the project is to develop capacity to accommodate at least 600 additional full-time equivalent (FTE) students and transition to a comprehensive four-year institution. The project scope consists of the following elements: Phase 3a 1. Renovation/Restoration of the three-story Russell T. Joy Building to house general

purpose classrooms and seminar rooms for the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program, and informal study space.

2. Conversion of three existing rooms in the Science Building to lab space. Phase 3b Construction of the new four-story Tioga Library (TLB) located south of the Jet Tioga Building on Jefferson Avenue will provide library expansion, classrooms, faculty/flexible offices, and other academic program/support space. The TLB project scope also includes a partial basement and a connector bridge to the existing library building. Due to reduced funding, interiors will not be fully built out on all four floors in this project. UWT is currently analyzing its space needs, with the intent to defer build-out of the lower priority spaces until funding is available. The project architect is THA Architecture, Inc., and the landscape architect is Walker Macy Landscape Architects, both of Portland, Oregon. John Korsmo Construction of Tacoma, Washington, is the general contractor/construction manager (GC/CM).

UW Tacoma Phase 3 PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Construction of the Tioga Library Building started a month later than planned due to issues relating to the University’s purchase of the railroad right of way. Work Accomplished This Period Phase 3a Joy Building: A sump was installed at the northwest corner of the building to mitigate water infiltration. On March 15, a grand opening event was held for the Joy Building, and the groundbreaking ceremony for the Tioga Library Building took place. Phase 3b Tioga Library Building Silt fencing, rip-rap, and other measures have been implemented to mitigate erosion and water run-off. The Tioga Annex was torn down and debris hauled out. Earthen ramps were built, one at the Hood Corridor, and at Jefferson Avenue, to replace the existing ramp that is in the new building footprint. Masonry restoration on the south side of the Tioga building is underway. Pile and lagging have been installed at the sidewalk area on the west side of the site and excavation of the building footprint has begun along the Jefferson Avenue sidewalk.

Plans for the Next 30 Days Phase 3a Joy Building:
