The building permit review is complete and has been issued with no further comments.

iv

· Housing-Maple and Terry Halls – All work was completed with the exception of some additional added scope and site work that needs to be scheduled during the next class break. The punch list was generated and the majority of the back punch was completed. We reached substantial completion and Housing and Food Services began moving in furniture.

· Life Sciences Building – The Schematic Design (SD) phase was approved by the University Architectural Commission and Landscape Advisory committee. The SEPA notification was issued as planned. The project team was finalizing efficiencies of the building layout and reconciling the scope of the growth chambers in terms of the available budget. The weekly project team meetings were focused on the technical mechanical and electrical infrastructure details, potential alternatives and cost impacts. The SD phase construction cost estimates were completed by Skanska and AECOM. The Mechanical Contractor / Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Electrical Contractor / Construction Manager (EC/CM) selection process advanced to interviews with short list notification for final bid proposals sent to three mechanical and three electrical firms.

· Medical Center Expansion Phase II – Design Package 01

Design Package 04 - The testing and commissioning of the new emergency generator, chillers, cooling tower and air handling units for the Montlake Tower continued in July. The air handling units are moving air, and the filter systems have passed infection control testing. For 7EE, the RF shielded rooms passed the revised electro-magnetic frequency testing. There is a design solution underway to move the grounding system associated with these rooms from the hospital front entry area, to an area west of the front entry. A purchase order has been executed for the Soiled Lift. The supplier is released to work on shop drawings.

Montlake Tower - For 2SA, the 7 Operating Rooms and associated support areas were substantially completed and turned over to the UWMC on 7/28/15. Both the contractors and the OR equipment vendors have punch list work to complete and this will be coordinated with the UWMC after cleaning activities are completed. The ventilation test & balance activities will continue in August. For 5SA the flooring installation work continued. The flooring work is behind schedule and the GC/CM is working on a solution that will get back on schedule. The electrical trim/termination work continued. Lighting fixture installation is 90% complete. The terrazzo flooring work is complete in the east side corridor. One sliding patient door was installed for review.

· Montlake Triangle Project – Punch list activity continued with a majority of punch list items being addressed. There is a potential for some late added work by SDOT on NE Pacific Street for road repair and along Montlake Blvd for game day bus loading activities. Discussions continue with SDOT.

· NanoEngineering and Sciences Building (NESB) – The buyout continued for the exterior shell and core components through the month of July. The sheet metal and curtain wall were opened and bids were over the estimates. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) met with the apparent low bidders to review the bids and ensure there are not errors in the assumed scope and cost. The construction continued to move forward. The initial excavation of the ground floor level was completed. The drilled piers around the existing utility tunnel are being placed. All work is being scheduled to accommodate research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building.

· New Burke Museum Renovation – The project team developed a new concept schedule for production of construction documents and early procurement of key subcontractors. The 100% construction documents set will be published in November 2015. The Mechanical Contractor/Construction Manager (MCCM) and the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (ECCM) interviews and final selection were completed. McKinstry was awarded both the MCCM and ECCM scopes of work and will prepare pre-construction proposals. Skanska will solicit bids for fire sprinklers, elevators, exterior cladding and curtain wall on a performance specification basis. These subcontractors will be contracted for on a pre-construction basis to prepare detailing and coordination support to the design team as the construction documents are completed. The contracts for procurement, construction and installation will be included in the first mini-MACC for the project when fully project funding is available. The design team continued to coordinate with Campus Engineering to define the scope of work required to deliver power to the new facility. The removal of utility piping and cabling in the utility tunnel serving the existing museum was identified as an additional scope of work for the project. The existing tunnel will need to be shortened due to changes in the site grade. The tunnel will be sealed off at both ends but remain available to support future development on the site.

· North Campus Student Housing – The schematic design phase was completed. The project was successfully presented to the University Landscape Advisory Committee and UW Architectural Commission for a schematic design update. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed.

vi

· UW Police Department Facility – Contract amendment #4 was being finalized. The construction of the concrete portion of the structure continued with the second floor slab being placed on July 31st followed by the 2nd floor columns and forming on the roof post tension slab.

· Tacoma Urban Solutions Center – The design team received approval of the design concepts from the City of Tacoma Landmarks Commission. A pre-permit application meeting with the City of Tacoma Planning and Development was held at the end of the month. The project team developed a permit strategy and plans to submit for a permit in November. An amended project agreement between UW Capital Projects Office (CPO) and UW Tacoma documenting the change in scope, schedule and budget was submitted for approval. An amended design agreement between UW CPO and the project architect, Miller Hull Partnership, was negotiated. The design team presented the preliminary schematic design options to the stakeholders. The technology integration engineer and UWIT met to coordinate the information technology design and the sub committee for LEED requirements also met to revise the LEED scope. UW Tacoma negotiated access to the occupied spaces in the building for four Tuesdays in August.

· West Campus Utility Plant – The design was advanced sufficiently and submitted for City review with the application for a building permit. Some comments on the Master Use Permit application were received from the City and are being addressed. The Street Improvement Plan (SIP) process with Seattle Department of Transportation also made progress and is on schedule. The overall collaborative design process continued, especially in regard to distribution system details and electrical/controls scope. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics planning intensified in preparation for starting distribution system work in August.

Animal Research and Care Facility Project #203928

July 2015 Project Manager: Kurt Jensen

Construction Manager: Jeff Angeley

PROJECT DESCRIPTION In 2010, the University of Washington identified the need to develop future facilities capable of supporting the UW’s commitment to outstanding research, education and animal care. Also identified was the need to increase the animal census at the UW and to implement a centralized operating model for animal care and procedures. As a result of the UW’s Animal Care Facilities Master Plan Feasibility Study, it was recommended the UW construct a new Animal Research and Care Facility (ARCF). This project is intended to provide a capacity solution for UW animal research for the next ten years.

The feasibility study identified a site in the Portage Bay Vista, just east of the William H. Foege Building, for a new, state-of-the-art ARCF. The concept plan for this facility is a two-story, below-grade building, connecting to both the Foege building and Hitchcock Hall at the first level below grade. The building will provide flexible housing

for large and small animals (principally rodents) and non-human primates. The study also identified a preliminary program of space types, including laboratories, procedure rooms, imaging facilities; cage and equipment wash facilities, storage, and other support spaces. The planned size of the ARCF is 83,000 gross square feet (GSF). The project architect is a partnership of Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca (ZGF) of Seattle, Washington and Flad Architect of San Francisco, California. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) is Skanska USA Building, located in Seattle WA. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The construction schedule has been delayed fifteen (15) days due to site ground water and soil condition impacts to the installation of shoring and underpinning piles. There was additional work required to remove a previously undiscovered underground storage tank and associated contaminated soils. The contractor is working to minimize these impacts by utilizing overtime allowances in the shoring and excavation sub-contracts. Work Accomplished This Period The shoring and mass excavation work phase continues. The north and south perimeter dewatering wells have been drilled, developed and are in service. The drilling and pile installation work is complete on the north wall along Pacific Street and the south wall in the Foege Loading Dock. The tie back and lagging activities continue on all walls of the excavation. The pile installation and underpinning activity are progressing at Foege and the Hitchcock building structures. The Building

Information Modeling (BIM) coordination efforts continue to support the ARCF prefabricated building components, detailing, and the procurement activities.

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

Plans for Next 30 Days The shoring and mass excavation work will continue. The soil export will continue via the large conveyor system, to trucks for export. The contaminated soil removal continues. The tieback and lagging installation work will progress on all wall elevations. The dewatering design modification and efforts are responding to actual encountered site conditions. As the vertical pile elements and the tieback and lagging operations allow, well points will be drilled and installed under Foege and Hitchcock. The planning for both occupant and contractor operations and logistics at Foege, Hitchcock, J, K, and I wing loading dock will continue.

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

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

Submittals to Date (not including LEED) 161 11days 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. The project is facing budget challenges due to the active Seattle construction market and bidding climate. Skanska and the project team are actively monitoring the situation and working with subcontractors to encourage broad subcontractor participation and competitive bidding.

Bothell Activities and Recreation Center Project #203835

July 2015 Project Manager: Eric McArthur

Construction Manager: Jeff Johnson

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

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

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


11

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


12

CHANGES IN SCOPE The scope of the project has been maintained throughout construction. No changes in the scope have occurred nor are any forecasted in the final two months of construction. BUYOUT STATUS The GC/CM has set the construction documents into three ‘bundles’ of bid packages, all of which have been bid out. In the aggregate, the buyout to date has come in over the estimate and consequently the project is forecasted as over budget.

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

Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor Project #203801

July 2015 Project Manager: Victoria Morris

Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Burke-Gilman Trail Corridor (BGTC), constructed in 1978, is a rails-to-trails bicycle and pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through the Seattle Campus west of Montlake Boulevard and north of NE Pacific Street. The trail is widely used by bicycle commuters coming to the University and passing through campus, and it serves as the backbone of a regional bicycling and pedestrian network in the northern part of Seattle. These multiple uses and cross-traffic between the campus community and the BGTC create conflicts and safety issues that need to be addressed for effective pedestrian and bicycle movement on and around the trail. The number of users on the trail has far exceeded initial projections. This project was originally programmed to 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. The revised program will develop design documents and construct only Phase 1, Campus Reach. A separate project will

be created for the design and construction of the remainder of the trail within the University. For Phase 1, the project prime is KPFF Consulting Engineers (KPFF) of Seattle, Washington and PLACE Studio, LLC is the landscape design firm from Portland, Oregon. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance Phase 1, is 2 months behind its current schedule. The completion is anticipated for May 2016. Work Accomplished This Period The bids were received with the lowest bid at $3.17M, which was approximately $1M under the engineer’s estimate. The coordination with Puget Sound Energy (PSE) regarding a 12” gas line along the Lewis Lane Bridge continued.


19

Plans for Next 30 Days The construction contract for Phase I will be awarded. Phase I and Phase II will be separated into two projects. The coordination with PSE on the gas line will continue to develop, the proposed solution that will satisfy the University and PSE concerns. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The original project budget was $6.1 million, which covered the design of both phases, plus Phase 1 construction. The current cost forecast is $8.5 million, which is 39 percent over budget and includes the design and construction of Phase 1, as well as, partial construction documents for Phase II. The elements of the increased project cost include; higher than anticipated costs for the base scope of work, redesign costs, bicycle shelter and enclosures, ADA upgrades, escalation, contaminated soils, and the Mercer Court mock-up. The funding for this project is provided by UW Transportation Services (UWTS). With $3 million in federal grant funding, UW Transportation Services has confirmed that additional funding will be provided to cover the higher estimated project cost. The current funding is $8.5 million.

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this period.

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

Schedule Variance The project remains on schedule for occupancy at the start of Autumn Quarter 2016. Previously, the project was placed on hold in May 2009 when the project did not receive State funding for the construction phase then was reactivated in April 2014 with partial State funding in the 2013-2015 biennium and UW funding for the remaining. Occupancy is planned for the start of Autumn Quarter 2016 based on an accelerated construction schedule.


23

Work Accomplished This Period THA continued working on completion of the remaining construction documents for Bid Package D. The project team continued to look for cost savings to align the construction cost with the project budget. BNB advertised and received bids for shotcrete and waterproofing of the exterior foundation. BNB completed site mobilization and began demolition/abatement activities within Denny Hall. Plans for Next 30 Days The project team will finalize design budget control options aimed to reduce cost while maintaining the project’s goals. The design efforts will continue to complete the construction documents for the remaining bid packages. BNB will advertise the remaining components of Bid Package D. Construction Accomplishments This Period The soft demolition, salvage, and abatement activities throughout the building along with structural upgrades to the wood structure in the attic started. The clearing and grubbing of the site around the building, tree removal, and site fencing and contractor mobilization were completed. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The project is fully funded for $52,892,000. The project is on budget with the bidding phase going well. Originally, the State provided $2.3 million for design through the design development phase in the 2007-2009 biennium. The project was placed on hold in 2009. An additional $30,590,000 for construction was appropriated in the 2013-2015 biennium with authorization for the UW to bond the remaining $20 million. With a smaller appropriation the Board of Regents revised the project budget from $56,915,000 to $52,892,000 in January 2015. The State re-appropriated construction funding in the 2015-2017 biennium.


24

CHANGES IN SCOPE None this month. BUYOUT STATUS The structures and early work packages were estimated and bid higher than the design development estimate. The design development forecast was less than the construction budget and there was some shifting of costs between packages. While the initial bids were higher than the design development estimate, the project remains on budget.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The Board of Regents (BOR) approved a project budget of $28.5 million in May 2012 with the understanding that this preliminary budget may change following completion of the schematic design phase. The administration committed to returning to the BOR for final budget approval prior to the start of construction. The predesign study indicated all of the planned scope may not be achievable within the available funding, which was later confirmed. The cost reduction alternatives have been developed through value engineering (VE). The project team agreed to accept the majority of the VE recommendations, resulting in a total project cost forecast and new target budget of $31.5 million. At the end of the design development (DD) phase, the cost estimate, along with code interpretations from the City, showed that the anticipated VE cost savings could not be fully realized. In addition, the result of the field investigation by the MC/CM and the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (EC/CM) subcontractors discovered additional information that has also added to the estimated construction cost. The estimated total project cost at the end of the DD phase was approximately $38 million. The project scope has now been significantly reduced and the new cost estimate and budget forecast is $37M.

CHANGES IN SCOPE No changes in the scope this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES This project presents an opportunity to improve the quality and reliability of the mechanical and electrical systems supporting the cleanroom and laboratory uses as well as reduce the ongoing facility operations and maintenance costs. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the collaborative GC/CM process during design and construction enhance the opportunity for the design team to maximize the project scope, quality, and schedule to avoid changes during construction. The challenges include successfully implementing the scope and cost reduction measures required to bring the project cost within budget. The requirement for the existing occupants to remain in the building during construction is a significant challenge for the design team and the contractors. Developing a phasing plan and strategy to allow for continued operation of the labs and cleanrooms during the renovation is complicating the design and puts added pressure on the project budget and schedule. The continuing schedule delays are increasing the risk that uncertain market conditions and escalating construction costs will further impact the project budget.

Housing–Maple and Terry Halls Project #203512

July 2015 Project Manager: Will Sigman

Construction Manager: Steve Folk

Perspective of Maple Hall, looking toward northwest from Lincoln Ave PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project scope includes demolition of the existing Center Building and Terry Hall and the construction of two new residential buildings named Maple and Terry Halls. The new seven-story buildings will include five stories of housing consisting of two-bedroom suites with private bathrooms. The lower two floors of each building will be occupied by Housing and Food Services (HFS) administrative offices, common space for students, and some additional two-bedroom suites. A below-grade parking garage connecting to the Lander Hall garage and loading dock will extend below Maple and Terry Halls. The new facility will total 390,000 gross square feet and provide 1,090 beds. The sustainability goal is to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification. Originally, Terry Hall and the 1101 Café/Center building located on NE Campus Parkway, immediately west of Lander Hall were planned as a renovation. The buildings were constructed in 1952 and needed substantial infrastructure replacement and improvements. The costly seismic and infrastructure upgrades, as well as the current high-rise code requirements, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. This change also presents an opportunity to

Maple-Terry Halls, #203512

better integrate these facilities into the vision of the west of 15th Avenue NE master plan and to significantly improve the student life experience in the residence halls. Mithun is the project and landscape architects. W.G. Clark is the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). Both firms are located in Seattle, Washington. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance The project is on track for occupancy at the start of Autumn Quarter. The delays during the construction phase have reduced the occupancy contingency. There were several days lost due to the additional hazardous materials abatement, delays to the building demolition and a transmission failure in the tower crane. The strategic use of overtime for the concrete and wood framing work picked up most of the days lost. A University-wide requested safety stand-down along with weather delays further delayed key concrete deck placements. The combined delays have pushed the overall completion of the project to the beginning of August. WG Clark is working additional overtime and resequencing the work to pick up some of the lost time. For Phase 1 (HFS offices in Terry Hall) substantial completion occurred June 5, 2015 and phase two substantial completion is scheduled for August 3, 2015. Housing & Food Services will occupy the Phase 1 area in June. Work Accomplished This Period The project is nearly substantially complete. The punch list is generated and the majority of the back punch is complete. We reached substantial completion and Housing and Food Services began moving in furniture.


33

Plans for Next 30 Days Achieve substantial completion and move into the closeout phase. This will require elevator, fire, and building inspections. A small amount of exterior and punch list work will be completed. The student resident advisors will be moving in this month and the full student move in is scheduled for September. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The forecast cost to complete is $13.6M below the budget a result of an excellent team effort to manage the project and costs. The budget includes HFS costs for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment. The project funding is from the University’s Internal Lending Program to be repaid with HFS revenues.

Life Sciences Building Project #204746

July 2015 Project Manager: Troy Stahlecker

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

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

Schedule Variance The project is on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The Schematic Design (SD) phase cost estimates were reconciled with the program phase estimates and include three options for progression to the Design Development phase. The design documents were aligned with the budget reconciliation results. The reoccurring weekly project team meetings are focused on advancing the design elements, program and technical mechanical / electrical infrastructure details. The permit process began with the early design guidance meeting and submission of design materials. The Mechanical Contractor / Construction Manager (MC/CM) and Electrical Contractor / Construction Manager (EC/CM) selection process concluded with McKinstry selected as the mechanical contractor and VECA selected as the electrical contractor.


39

Plans for Next 30 Days The Design Development phase will advance as planned. A LEAN pull planning workshop is scheduled to refine the project schedule and develop key project milestones. Skanska, P+W, and AECOM will implement weekly cost log meetings, manage the design, inform decision making, and manage the project within budget. The McKinstry and Veca preconstruction contracts will be executed. The mechanical and electrical cost schedules will be developed and submitted for review by McKinstry and VECA. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current project forecast is $160.5 million of which $4.1 million has been funded.

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

PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

SCHEDULE VARIANCE The design is on schedule and construction completion is now projecting anticipated potential Level 1 buildout of the learning spaces which shifted substantial completion out two months. The substantial completion is now targeted for November 1, 2016 with closeout continuing into December. WORK ACCOMPLISHED THIS PERIOD The buyout continued for the exterior shell and core components through the month of June. The sheet metal and curtain wall were opened and bids were over the estimates. The General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) met with the apparent low bidders to review the bids and to ensure there were no errors in the assumed scope and cost. The excavation has been completed down to the sub basement. All work is being scheduled to accommodate research taking place in the adjoining Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building. An agreement with the construction team and the researchers was established to complete disruptive construction activities by 3 pm each day and to resume no earlier than 8 pm in the evening.


58

PLANS FOR NEXT 30 DAYS The cost reduction selections will be translated in the final design documents with the next package scheduled to be issued on August 21 for bidding.

The work will continue on the site with a mat footing being placed over the site utility tunnel and foundation walls placed.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current budget and forecast cost is $61.3 million, of which $43 million is in hand. The variance of $8.3 million will be reduced to 7.1 million through cost reduction items being captured in contract change order and reductions in contingencies. The project team continues to review opportunities for cost reduction while still maintaining the approved project scope.

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

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

New Burke Museum Project #203007

July 2015 Project Manager: Curtis Bain

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project will construct a new Burke Museum located along NE 15th Ave NE to the west of the existing Burke Museum within a development site identified in the UW Campus Master Plan. The new museum will be approximately 110,000 gross square feet with three-stories and a partial daylight basement. This project will replace the existing Burke Museum, constructed in 1962. This project will address the limitations and shortcomings of the existing building, which are no longer adequate to meet the programmatic vision, capacity for research collections, public outreach, and education missions of the Burke Museum. The new building will accommodate the museum’s program and will enhance connections to the community and neighborhood. It will be located and configured to better anticipate potential future development on the site and have a much stronger appeal to potential donors. The new building will celebrate the museum’s goals to: a) foster understanding and inspire wonder about the Northwest and our place in the world; b) emphasize the power of object-based learning to inspire curiosity, generate new knowledge, and foster understanding of the role collections play in our shared natural and cultural heritage; and c) emphasize the connection between people and the environment in every aspect of the museum, from research, exhibits, and programming to the museum’s building, grounds, and business practices.

New Burke Museum, #203007

63

The project will be an architecturally noteworthy facility that reflects the museum's core institutional values of sustainability, excellence, respect, stewardship, creativity, and community engagement; makes the collections and research accessible and engaging; integrates a cross-disciplinary approach to achieving the museum's vision; and facilitates meaningful visitor engagement with exhibitions, on-site programs, public amenities, and outreach services. The accessibility will be integrated into the new facility to meet ADA requirements. The project will also address issues of long-term flexibility in the design of galleries and public spaces and will implement sustainable design practices to achieve a facility that functions efficiently and can be maintained with limited resources. A Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification is the aspirational goal. The project architect is Olson Kundig Architects (OKA), Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) is the Landscape Architects, and Skanska USA is the General Contactor/ Construction Manager (GC/CM), all are located in Seattle. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

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


64

When constructed, it is anticipated that the installation of the new exhibits and the phased migration of the museum’s collection of over 15 million historical artifacts will take approximately one year. The goal is to minimize the impact of the relocation on public programs and access. Schedule Variance The ongoing cost reduction pressures on the project design delayed the start of the construction documents until April 2015. Work Accomplished This Period The project team developed a new concept schedule for production of construction documents and early procurement of key subcontractors. The 100% construction documents set will be published in November 2015. The Mechanical Contractor/Construction Manager (MCCM) and the Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (ECCM) interviews and final selection were completed. McKinstry was awarded both the MCCM and ECCM scopes of work and will prepare pre-construction proposals. Skanska will solicit bids for fire sprinklers, elevators, exterior cladding and curtain wall on a performance specification basis. These subcontractors will be contracted for on a pre-construction basis to prepare detailing and coordination support to the design team as the construction documents are completed. The contracts for procurement, construction and installation will be included in the first mini-MACC for the project when fully project funding is available. The design team continued to coordinate with Campus Engineering to define the scope of work required to deliver power to the new facility. The removal of utility piping and cabling in the utility tunnel serving the existing museum was identified as an additional scope of work for the project. The existing tunnel will need to be shortened due to changes in the site grade. The tunnel will be sealed off at both ends but remain available to support future development on the site. Plans for Next 30 Days The design consultants will complete and distribute the 50% construction documents for review by all stakeholders. The design consultants will also seek to resolve open design issues related to the southwest entry of the facility. Skanska will continue to refine the site logistics management plan. The City of Seattle will conduct a flow test of the nearby fire hydrants to confirm capacity. The scope of work for the electrical service connection at the law school tunnel will be finalized. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The legislature approved $26million of the necessary 46.2 million needed for the project. The University will seek to submit a request for the 2016 legislative session for the needed funding.


65

CHANGES IN SCOPE None anticipated this period. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Funding continues to be a challenge. It will be a major challenge to plan for the displacement of staff and collections during the transition phase when they move from the existing facility into the new building. The project budget did not support Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification; the project team will continue to work towards a LEED Gold certification. The project will meet LEED Silver certification standards at a minimum.

North Campus Student Housing Project #204350

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

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

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

Phase IV (a)

Schedule Variance None, the project remains on schedule. Work Accomplished This Period The schematic design phase was completed. The project was successfully presented to the University Landscape Advisory Committee and UW Architectural Commission for a schematic design update. The proposals for the mechanical and electrical contractor construction managers were reviewed. Plans for Next 30 Days The schematic design phase will continue, including refinement of program elements for each building, building massing, and site landscape. The landscape elements, site circulation and plaza features will be refined. The value engineering and budget control logs will continue with the selection of design elements and scope. The active

construction market resulted in fewer than the desired responses from mechanical and electrical subcontractors. The mechanical and electrical contractor construction manager process will be repackaged and re-advertised in order to encourage submissions from qualified firms. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST Cost Overview The project has been funded at $1,920,000 for preliminary design. The funding will be increased to address a later than planned fall approval by the Board of Regents for the funding, budget, and site approval. The funding will be increased to complete the schematic design and a portion of the design development phase. The funding for this work is from Housing & Food Services (HFS) reserves.

CHANGES IN SCOPE HFS is considering moving some of the needed beds from Phase IV (b) to this phase. This change is intended to help address the site challenges in Phase IV (b) that will reduce the planned number of beds.

BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES The early selection of the general contractor along with early selections of the mechanical and electrical subcontractors, follow the successful format of the design participation that occurred on the West Campus Housing projects. This early involvement has proven to enhance the 3D modeling and coordination of the design. The project will be challenging with the cost of construction increasing and shortages of qualified craft trade workers to construct the project due to the increase in construction activity in the Seattle area. It is an exciting opportunity to create a new vision for the residential housing village for this part of the campus that retains the woodland nature which better serves internal and external connections to the campus and the connecting community.

UW Police Department Facility Project #203612

July 2015 Project Manager: Ken Kubota

Construction Manager: Jeff Huebler

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

SAFETY STATISTICS








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

UW Tacoma Urban Solutions Center Project #204701

July 2015 Project Manager: Jeannie Natta

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

The pre-design and design work has been funded by a $1.9M capital request in the 2013 Legislative session. A capital request for core and shell construction was funded by the Legislature at $16M.The UW Tacoma funded the interior design and construction at $10.1M from the UW Tacoma Reserves. The architect is the Miller Hull Partnership, located in Seattle. Mortenson Construction, located in Kirkland, Washington, has been selected as the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM). PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY

Schedule Variance The schedule has been revised with anticipation of when the building may be vacated. We anticipate starting construction January 2016. Work Accomplished This Period The design team received approval of the design concepts from the City of Tacoma Landmarks Commission. A pre-permit application meeting with the City of Tacoma Planning and Development was held at the end of the month. The project team developed a permit strategy and plans to submit for permit in November. An amended project agreement between UW Capital Projects Office (CPO) and UW Tacoma documenting the change in scope, schedule and budget was submitted for


78

approval. An amended design agreement between UW CPO and the project architect, Miller Hull Partnership, was negotiated. The design team presented the preliminary schematic design options to the stakeholders. The technology integration engineer and UWIT met to coordinate the information technology design and the sub committee for LEED requirements also met to revise the LEED scope. UW Tacoma negotiated access to the occupied spaces in the building for 4 Tuesdays in August. Plans for Next 30 Days During August the project team will complete the investigation of the occupied spaces in the building. The design team will complete 100% design development of the core and shell and 100% schematic design of the interiors. A quality control session is scheduled for mid August. The GCCM, Mortenson Construction, will review the documents for constructability and update the estimate to reflect the added scope. The design team will follow up with the faculty focus groups to review the interior schematic design. The design focus for August and September is to resolve design issues on specific elements on the building. The design meetings will involve stakeholders invested in these specific elements. The large core team meetings will resume in late September. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The total project budget is $28,000,000, pending Regent approval at their September meeting. $1,900,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in 2013-2015 budget for predesign and design of the core and shell. $16,000,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature in 2015-2017 budget for construction of the core and shell. $10,100,000 has been appropriated from UW Tacoma Reserves in 2015 to complete the design and construction of the interior.

CHANGES IN SCOPE The interior design and build-out has been added to the scope. BUYOUT STATUS Not applicable at this time. SAFETY STATISTICS Not applicable at this time. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The project offers the chance to complete the major renovation of UW Tacoma’s warehouse building stock and fill in a ‘missing tooth’ in the heart of the campus. The building has a number of infrastructure challenges to overcome. There is also known contaminated soil within the footprint of the building and economically addressing that issue may be an additional challenge. The predesign provided a strong foundation moving forward. Now that the Prairie Line Trail is completed, the design team is also able to envision how the new Urban Solutions Center will tie into the trail. At this time the team is proceeding with the understanding the building will be unoccupied. If this assumption changes and the building remains partially occupied during the core and shell renovation, scope and schedule would be impacted if the budget is to be maintained.

West Campus Utility Plant Project #204685

July 2015 Project Manager: Steve Harrison

PROJECT DESCRIPTION This current project includes a building of approximately 17,000 gross square feet (GSF) containing generators, chillers, cooling towers, and associated equipment. The building will be constructed above the existing campus utility tunnel, allowing direct access to the tunnel for distribution of electrical cabling and chilled water (CW) piping. When fully built out, the plant will have capacity to produce 12 megawatts (MW) of emergency power and 10,500 tons of CW. In phase 1 the construction of the building will be complete as well as the installation of equipment to produce 6 MW and 3,000 tons of CW. This phase will also provide space and infrastructure for the future full equipment build-out, and run distribution systems to the south campus. The emergency power and CW will be distributed to the tunnel intersection vault SW-1, at which point the ARCF project will pick up those services for connection and distribution within the facility and to the existing distribution lines nearby. The West Campus Utility Plant (WCUP) is envisioned to be an architecturally significant building, given its prominent location on the west campus. The careful attention given will ensure that the design fits contextually with the surrounding community and is representative of its importance as a gateway building at the southwest approach to the campus. The design will incorporate a demonstration

display element that will enable access by students and the public to gain an understanding of the University’s commitment to the environment and energy conservation. The Board of Regents authorized the use of the design-build (D-B) contracting method for this project. PROJECT STATUS SUMMARY Schedule Overview

Schedule Variance None this period. Work Accomplished This Period The design was advanced sufficiently and submitted for City review with the application for a building permit. Some comments on the Master Use Permit application were received from the City and are being addressed. The Street Improvement Plan (SIP) process with the Seattle Department of Transportation also made progress and is on schedule. The overall collaborative design process continued, especially in regard to the distribution system details and electrical/controls scope. The procurement efforts and construction-logistics


83

planning intensified in preparation for starting distribution system work on or about August 24th, 2015. Plans for Next 30 Days The plant design and distribution design-and-construction will overlap. On the plant side the project team will continue to advance the electrical design detail in preparation for the electrical permit application (which is separate from the building permit) and respond to City comments on other applications. On the distribution side, the 3D model will be completed, materials will arrive and the installation will begin. The substantial electrical scope originally planned as part of phase 2 of the plant development will be incorporated via change order primarily to reduce the total plant development costs. The work to shepherd the MUP and the building permit and to prepare for plant construction will continue. PROJECT BUDGET & COST Cost Overview The current approved budget is $36.2 million. This increase from the original project budget of $30.5 million was approved by the Board of Regents at the March 2015 meeting. Adding a number of identified scope enhancements will provide flexibility for the future by increasing the building footprint, a partial basement and equipment enhancements. This increase will better allow the facility to respond to potential future sustainability initiatives such as thermal storage, lake water cooling and campus system conversion from steam to hot water.


84

CHANGES IN SCOPE An increase in electrical scope is anticipated within the next 30 days. BUYOUT STATUS, SAFETY STATISTICS, AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Not applicable at this time. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES The permitting-related schedule risks previously identified still exist, but are diminishing with time and progress. The budget risks generally associated with assuring quality and completeness in the constructed product under a design-build delivery system while market costs are escalating are beginning to emerge. However, the collaborative design effort has effectively controlled them to date.
