PROJECT UPDATES

September 27, 2011

BUILDING 10 AND 11 REMODELS

Construction of the new RTEC and Art building, and the remodel of Building 11 is in the final stages of completion. FMP landscape crews are working on the outside of the building while Hyland Construction completes a list of touch-up items inside the building. These touch-up items are expected with every project and always take time to complete. One of these items is the audiovisual for the classrooms. Due to a late order of hardware, these rooms will not be completed until the end of this week. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

 

September 20, 2011
BUILDING 10 REMODEL 

“Building 10 can now be occupied.” This is the authorization statement made by the Lane County building inspector last week. Building 10 has been granted a temporary occupancy permit that will allow the college to open for the fall term. This permit also allows Lane to make some last minute modifications to the exhaust system for the Art Department. The main item now is clean up. With the project moving along at a fast pace, the focus week is working on touch up items and cleaning around the outside of the building. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456. 

 

BUILDING 11 REMODEL 

This project is still in the completion phase in some areas of the building. Specialized Support Services has moved into their newly remodeled space. The Art Gallery and Art History classroom have been completed but there is some minor touch up work left to do. Hyland crews are finishing the touch up work and expect to have it completed by Wednesday, September 21. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

TRACK AND INNER FIELD RESURFACING PROJECT 

The project will be completed by the end of the day, Tuesday, September 20 and will reopen for general use on Wednesday, September 21. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

September 13, 2011
BUILDING 10
This project is moving forward on its goal for a completion date of September 15. The project has had some challenges but will be finished and ready for the fall term. Hyland Construction and staff are working six days a week to make sure the project is completed. Classrooms inside the new building are designed and planned with smart technology that will allow the programs to offer the most advanced information technology available to all students. The open industrial design of the building is intended to inspire students of all ages to get involved with the professional technical programs scheduled in this building. In the final phases of the project, many staff members have been assisting each other in a team effort to make sure the classrooms and labs are ready for the fall term. Construction clean up and touch up to work is expected to last for a while after the project is completed. Some last minute changes in the design of the building have caused some tasks to overlap into the first part of the fall term. These alterations are small in nature and will not affect the college’s ability to get a certificate of occupancy or the opening of classes in the new building.

A special thank you has been expressed to Andy Salzman and Jeffery Hanson for their help and hard work on this project. Andy and Jeff have put in long hours on this project to make sure the new building is ready for students. Andy has supported this project with valuable information and hours of dedication in relocating the Art Division. In addition, Mark Richardson has done a wonderful job coordinating this project from the start to this point and plans to continue working extended hours to make sure the punch lists are thorough and that every needed task stays on schedule. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING 11 REMODEL

This building project is a result of three separate projects that are going together to occupy and function from Building 11. The first project will have Hyland Construction working on the new offices for the SSS team. Next, a new Art Gallery for student artwork displays will be assembled, the last part of the project is to renovate the Art-history classrooms and add two more classrooms on the north side of the building. Another part of the project is being completed by FMP trades on the second floor of the buildings. The project coordinator Heath, along with the other leads is working hard to complete this project by the start of the fall term. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

TRACK AND SOCCER BOWL ENHANCEMENT

This fast-paced task being performed by Atlas is scheduled to be completed by September 22. Applying the new color coating on the track surface is a six-step process. The weather for applying the materials has been great and this week is forecasting overcast skies but no rain. The installation of the new material used to complete this project is only adversely affected by rain. Since we have had sunny warm weather, the installation is moving along on schedule. This week the final coatings will be applied to the track and lane striping will follow. After the striping has been completed the track will be ready for use. All of this work is being done under the original warrantee of the manufacturer and at no cost to the college. This work corrects color inconsistencies between manufactured product “lots” or “batches” and provides the college with the highest possible track surface. The track surface will be ready for the upcoming track event on September 24. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

August 30, 2011
BUILDING 10 REMODEL

Hyland Construction and their crews are now working overtime to make sure the project is completed. The classrooms on the second floor are not at a point where tables and furniture can be installed. Furniture for the building was scheduled to arrive on August 29 and will be placed in offices. Classroom tables and chairs are expected to arrive soon as well. Cabinetry for the classrooms is being installed, and the finished product looks great. This week Hyland construction will be focusing on the outside of the building. All the office trailers will be removed this week and the area around Building 10 will be cleaned. Now that the building is secure, all the temporary fences will be removed from the site. Along with disassembling temporary fence, Island Fence will remove the permanent fence from around the trash compactor and will reinstall it in its new location. After the fence has been reassembled, the trash compactor will be moved, and its old concrete pad will be removed. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING 11 REMODEL

Several project tasks in and outside of Building 11 are going strong. Hyland Construction has completed the walls and painting at the new student support department offices, and the final step will be installing the new floor covering. The Art History classroom is close to being complete. After a final coat of paint and the concrete floor has been waxed, LCC staff can start installing the classroom furniture and electronics. Final touches inside the Art gallery are expected to be completed this week and final floor preparation will begin. This building is expected to be completed around September 16. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

TRACK AND INNER FIELD RESURFACING PROJECT

Delta Construction, in a joint effort with Atlas, was scheduled to start working on the track resurfacing on August 29. During this time, the track will remain closed and no one will be allowed its surface. After the coating has been applied, the entire track will be restriped with a fresh coat of paint. As a reminder, the paint and coatings used for this process are expected to give off strong odors in the immediate and possibly surrounding areas. Walkers that are sensitive to strong odors are encouraged to alter their walking route away from the area for the next few weeks until the project is completed. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS PROJECT 

Contractor continues to pour Level 1 concrete columns and shear walls. There are three more shear walls to pour on Level 1. The first slab on grade pour has been done at the northeast corner of the building. The next slab pour is scheduled for Tuesday, August 30; it will be at the north side of the building. Three geothermal manifolds have been completed and tested. The mechanical, electrical and plumbing lines below slab are nearly complete at the north side of the building.

There is a lot of work going on in a very tight site. Workers, vehicles, and material vie for enough space to quickly perform their assigned tasks. Take a moment to imagine how to keep carpenters, earth movers, electricians, concrete trucks, plumbers, and stacks of materials from getting in the way and obstructing work from being done. Efficient site management is under appreciated but absolutely necessary to meet the construction schedule. Happily, the contractor is managing the site very well.

August 23, 2011

BUILDING 10 REMODEL

Crews are working to complete the building’s interior. The completion date for Building 10 is now being projected at September 15. Lane’s Housekeeping staff will complete floor preparation and sealing inside the building beginning Saturday, August 27. While this work is being completed, access inside the rooms will not be allowed. Office furnishings are scheduled to arrive on site on August 29 and crews will begin assembly and installation on August 30. The first week of September, Hyland Construction will remove its construction trailers and clean up debris on the outside of the building. Be informed that when this operation begins, the site will become dusty around the outside of the building until the cleanup work is complete and the dust is able to settle. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING 11 REMODEL

The task of replacing the worn-out aged roof is almost complete. Umpqua Roofing and Smith’s Sheet Metal have teamed up to make sure this project is successful. On the first level, Hyland Construction has completed replacing some of the interior finishes and lighting fixtures. This project is expected to be completed the week of September 12. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

TRACK AND INNER FIELD RESURFACING PROJECT

Crews have begun cleaning in preparation for the track restripe and resurface work. During the week of August 29, crews will be completing a final cleaning and then will apply a spray sealer on the track surface. This sealer is used to provide a better wear surface and allows the material to last longer. This work is expected to take two weeks to complete. During this time, the track, inner field, and the surrounding areas are closed to all. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS PROJECT

Design: Architects continue to respond to questions, changes and submittals as construction proceeds.

Bids: Contractor is still reviewing subcontractor bids for Bid Package No. 5.

Construction: Crews have poured about 90 percent of the foundations and are pouring level one concrete columns. Several shear walls have been poured and more will be poured this week. Note: Shear walls are walls designed to resist horizontal forces, e.g. wind, from pushing a structure over. Concrete slab on grade pours are scheduled to begin late this week.

August 16, 2011

BUILDING 10 REMODEL

Building 10 is now in the beginning of the move-in phase and subcontractors hired by Lane begin installing classroom furnishings this week. Many unforeseen tasks caused this project to lag behind schedule in some areas, but with a combination of determination and overtime, Hyland has recovered most of their lost time and is expected to have the building open by the start of fall term. Painting, floor covering, doors, and cabinets are now the task at hand. The remaining six weeks of the project will be fast pace for both Hyland Construction and Lane staff, so traffic in and around the project site is expected to be heavy at times. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING 11 REMODEL

Last minute changes in Building 11 have caused work to fall behind schedule, requiring crews to work overtime to complete the project in time. Most of the interior work has been completed for the remodeled areas and painting is scheduled to begin this week. Installation of the new roof is on schedule and is expected to be completed by August 30. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 CONSTRUCTION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Buildings 10 and 11 will remain closed until the projects are complete. No access inside the fenced area is permitted, unless accompanied by a member of the bond staff. These rules are in place to ensure proper safety for everyone entering these buildings. For those interested in requesting a tour, please remember that safety equipment must be worn at all times. A limited quantity of safety equipment is available and will be provided by FMP, however, due to a limited number of hard hats on hand, Bond staff encourage those who can to bring their own hard hats for any scheduled tour. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS PROJECT

Design: The architects continue to respond to queries from the contractors, material suppliers and others as construction proceeds.

Bids: Bids for the work noted in Bid Package No. 5 were received last Thursday, August 11. A lot of bids were submitted. The contractor has to review each bid to ensure its scope of work; this will be time consuming since so many bids were submitted.

Construction: Work on the shallow utility lines is proceeding, the geo-wells are being connected, and reinforced concrete columns and walls at the first floor level are being formed and poured.

July 26, 2011

BUILDING 10

Painting crews have completed the second-level classrooms and are now installing cabinets and floor covering. This is the final step in converting the open space into well-designed state of the art classrooms. The area has open ceilings that contain most of the original design of the building. On the first floor of the building, crews are working hard to complete painting. Once complete, Lane staff will begin installing equipment for the Art Department, which will transform the once open space into a new first class learning environment. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

July 19, 2011

BUILDING 10

This project is progressing quickly. Hyland Construction is working several crews on overtime to achieve their expected completion date in September. The second floor is nearing completion.

April 12, 2011

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODEL
Construction work on the inside of Building 10 is scheduled to continue and will be increasing. Crews are installing large duct work and roof supports for the new HVAC equipment. Interior wall construction began last week and is expected to continue throughout the remainder of the project. During activities such as this, odd smells and loud noises throughout the day are expected. A separate project to relocate the trash compactor is scheduled to start with-in the next two weeks. This will cause further traffic congestion on the east side of the Building 10 project. Lane’s project management staff requests that traffic be limited in this area to student activities and deliveries only. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
The jet grouting subcontractor has mobilized on site and drilled a test hole last Friday. If the results from the test hole meet standards, the jet grouting should begin today. The grouting process is scheduled to be completed by April 26. Amendment two was executed. It includes several tasks among which are demolition of existing asphalt, filing the pit with structural fill (crushed rock), and drilling Geo-wells. The management team meets with the design team to discuss a variety of issues on Thursday, April 14. The CM/GC expects to set up its project office in an existing building on the north side of the alley. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

April 5, 2011

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
In summary, the design development phase has been completed, the project is within budget and on schedule, and site preparation activities are planned to start this week.
Completion of design development phase means that all of the major building components have been identified and addressed in a satisfactory manner. The Construction Document phase comes next. This is where the architects and engineers draw up the details of how the contractor is to construct the building and specify what materials, equipment and products are to be incorporated into the building. The contract documents for the site preparation activities have been completed, bid and subcontractors have been identified. 
The site preparation activities include soil stabilization by the jet-grouting method, demolition of the existing asphalt paving, filling the pit with compacted crushed rock, installing the rain-water storage tank, drilling the geo-wells, and miscellaneous site utility work. Contact Bob Mention, 5747. 

 

March 29, 2011

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODEL

Concrete placements continue today, March 29. This is the last of the large concrete placement for this project. The grueling task of installing the HVAC ducts will start on Wednesday, March 30 and will continue throughout the remainder of the project. With this task brings frequent deliveries to the project, odd smells, and loud echoing noises; none of which is expected to be harmful or consistent throughout the day. Following installation of the HVAC ducts is steel wall framing. This work is expected to create the same smells and noises as encountered during the installation of the duct work. Equipment used for the installation of the wall framing is a powder operated nail gun used for setting nails in concrete. Loud popping noises are normal when using this equipment. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

March 22, 2011

BUILDINGS 4 AND 5 ADDITION AND REMODEL

The remaining tasks to close out the projects in Buildings 4 and 5 will be completed this week. During spring break, Lease Crutcher Lewis will have construction crews working in all areas of Buildings 4 and 5, and locker rooms and showers will be closed. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODEL

The four major concrete placements for the Building 10 project begin this week and are scheduled to be completed by Tuesday, March 29. All areas around Building 10 including between Buildings 9 and 10, 10 and 12, and the test cells will have large diesel equipment on location from 5 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22. The open area between Buildings 10 and 12 will have restricted access at times and using an alternate access route to the center of campus is encouraged. The final concrete placement for the project is scheduled for 5 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday, March 28 and Tuesday, March 29. This final concrete placement will not block access to the campus, and will be contained inside the immediate construction area. Truck traffic is still expected to be heavy and caution will be encouraged when using the north parking lot. As a reminder, Hyland Construction will be working on the heating water lines, which means there will be no heat in buildings 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, and 30 starting 6 a.m. on Wednesday, March 23 through the day and possibly, to noon on Thursday, March 24. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

The management team met with the architects and contractor last Thursday, March 17, to discuss several issues, e.g. the furnishings layout in the student interaction area between the CML and the classrooms on the first floor, the type and location of window coverings, and the question of operating the windows manually or with motorized options. The next management team meeting is scheduled for March 31. Bids for the first work package (soil stabilization) came in on target and mobilization for that work is scheduled to begin this week. Bids for the second work package (site civil and utilities, geothermal well drilling, and public right of way improvements) are due on March 22. That work is scheduled to begin with well drilling in mid-April. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

 

March 15, 2011

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

Hooray! The groundbreaking ceremony was very successful and construction is about to begin! The first work package for the Downtown Campus building includes improving some subsurface ground conditions. Bids for the package have been submitted by subcontractors and the college has approved awarding a contract for the work. The successful subcontractor will mobilize on site and commence work in the near future. Meanwhile, the second work package is out to bid. The second package concerns site demolition, foundations, geo-wells and structural fill. Bids for the second package are due late March.

The "fast-tracking" process has started. Basically, fast-tracking means that after the overall design of the building has been established, the architects and contractor divide the overall design into a logical sequence of work packages, i.e., site preparation and foundations, structural frame, exterior envelope, interiors, etc. Then, as soon as the architects have completed the detail drawings and specifications for the first work package (for example site and foundations) it can be bid and, if the bids are acceptable, construction can begin. This process permits construction to start while the architects are working to complete the drawings and specs on the following work package. Employing the fast-track process is the most economical and promising project delivery system to complete the project within the time schedule. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

 

 

March 8, 2011

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODEL
Hyland Construction is operating on schedule and is expected to complete the project by August 2011. Steel construction inside the building is complete and the placement of the second floor concrete begins this week which will take two weeks to complete. Mechanical and electrical contractors have increased work force and production has started on the installation of infrastructure for the project. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Building Automation System (BAS) Phase 1 project commissioning efforts continue to be a top priority. BAS Phase 1 system commissioning is expected to close mid March. On Wednesday, March 2 Lane staff and technicians from TraneOregon began what has resulted in a successful testing of the BAS alarming and mass messaging capacity. Tests for the trending equipment performance were finalized and set up on February 25. Next, the commissioning goals include verifying graphics and continuing to test the equipment scheduling programming.

Purchasing for contracted services is in progress for Building 19 controls and programming to address long term ongoing issues discovered while working in the BAS equipment level network at the CML. Additional controls work planning continues for the Workforce Training areas. Several locations in building 19 are being operated manually and will continue to be until these issues have been addressed.

BAS Phase 1 upgrades work has involved coordinating staff and student concerns in multiple buildings on main campus with two control contractors, the college energy analyst, and Facilities’ Trades staff. Lane staff continues to track affected areas with the latest BAS trending tools. To report any HVAC issues or concerns to the Facilities office, please e-mail facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu or call extension 5216 as work to complete the system integration process is finalized. Contact Anna Scott, 5805

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

Several noteworthy events happened last week: A meeting with the neighbors who live or work around the project site, the Groundbreaking ceremony, and a "make-up" meeting of the management team and project consultants.

The meeting with the neighbors was attended by people who live nearby and others who own or represent nearby businesses. The meeting was convened to give the neighbors some general information about the building, its occupants and use, and to assure the neighbors that the college and contractor will do everything possible to minimize disruption caused by the operation of the building and/or its construction. Helen Garrett and Brett Rowlett presented information about the operation and schedule of the building and Andy Dykeman (the contractor's Superintendent) spoke about the project schedule and the impact of construction activities on the adjacent streets, Broadway alley, and sidewalks. He gave everyone his contact information and urged them to let him know if they experienced any disruption.

An overflow audience attended the Groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, March 4. Everyone was excited about the project itself and the prospect of its playing a pivotal role in rejuvenating the downtown. The theme of the ceremony was that it takes all of us, working together, to make this project a success.

The management team heard proposals from the architects to make various refinements to the academic building (such as manually operated windows or automatic operators) and to make adjustments to the student housing building to better accommodate occupants. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

The project contractor, Lease Crutcher Lewis (LCL), started work mid-January. Since then, LCL has been working with the design team to provide constructability reviews, time schedules and cost estimates. Construction cost estimates are still above budget and the design team continues to work with the contractor to find opportunities to bring them into budget.

 

The first physical work needing to be done on the project is to stabilize the subsurface soil at the west side of the pit. This will be done by a process called "Jet Grouting." The process involves injecting a cementitious grout into ground below the surface. This will reinforce and stabilize the soil. The contractor let contract documents for doing this work out for bid on February 17. Bids are due on March 4. Physical work will commence shortly thereafter. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODEL

Steel construction has started in the interior of building 10. Much of the steel connections are bolted together and will not require welding equipment to be running. However, setting steel into place can be noisy at times when fitting pieces together. Most of the interior and exterior block walls are complete. Construction is expected to continue this week on the west side of building 10. Concrete placement is scheduled for Friday, February 18, and will be pumped into place with equipment staged on the south side of the construction fence in order to prevent trucks from running between buildings 10 and 11. Access between buildings 10 and 12 will be congested but will remain open for central campus access. 

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

Planning for the ground breaking ceremony is moving ahead and all the parts that will come together for the March 4 event.  The contractor will begin mobilizing on the site shortly after March 4 and plans are to issue the first bid package on or about February 21.  The first bid package will be for soil grouting and it is a large contract.  The bids will be due later in March and the contractor will need to get the successful subcontractor started as soon as possible.  Consequently, the Board of Education authorized President Spilde to award the contract for "soil grouting" to the lowest qualified bidder instead of waiting until the April board meeting.

 

The architects and engineers continue to reconcile the estimates and refine the design to meet the schedule of completing the design development phase by March 1.  Contact Bob Mention, 5747

The design team is scheduled to make a status report to the management team on Thursday, February 10. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

February 1, 2011

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODELS

Masonry work for the structure is almost complete. Excavation work continues between buildings 10 and 11. While excavating last week, contractors discovered clogged up underground drainpipes that will have to be removed and replaced. This activity will extend the underground work in that area for another week. Although the use of bio-diesel powered equipment in this area will be reduced, it is recommended to keep the doors closed on both floors of building 11 as much as possible for the remaining duration of the project.

Structural steel for building 10 is scheduled for delivery beginning this week. The delivery is expected to cause some traffic congestion on the east side of building 10 during the times the trucks are being unloaded. Staff and students are encouraged to use the campus entrance between buildings 10 and 12 if parking in the east lots. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM

During the week of January 24-28, technicians from TraneOregon, Controls Contractor Inc., and Lane staff worked at building 19 on the previous system programming and Building Automation System (BAS) equipment level network issues. Building 19 controls and programming work will continue this week. Primarily this is work to address issues discovered in the previous BAS equipment level network in building 19 that has resulted in temperature variation concerns. Several locations in building 19 are being operated manually and will continue to operate in manual mode until these issues have been addressed.

On Monday, January 24, Lane staff and BAS Phase 1 commissioning agent SOLARC received more intensive training from TraneOregon to improve skills in using the Niagara AX trending tools. Due to the great strides made in the last couple of weeks to resolve the trending, scheduling , and alarming issues with the BAS Phase 1 project as well as resolutions to equipment level communications issues, SOLARC can now begin to verify the project goals and complete commissioning of the BAS Phase 1 project.

BAS Phase 1 upgrades work has involved coordinating staff and students’ concerns in multiple buildings on the main campus with two control contractors, the college energy analyst and facilities trades’ staff. Lane staff continues to track affected areas with the latest BAS trending tools. Please continue to report any HVAC issues or concerns to the Facilities office at facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu or call extension 5216 as work to complete the system integration process is finalized. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

 

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING

The CMGC and an independent cost estimator continue to work on revising cost estimates. A value engineering process has started that should help identify changes that can be made to reduce costs while maintaining the overall instructional programming of the project. Cost revisions are fairly common on large projects during the design development process. The contractor is preparing to occupy the site and mobilize for work on March 1. The official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for March 4. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

January 25, 2011

BUILDINGS 10 AND 11 REMODELS

Construction of the concrete entrance ramp has started and this work is expected to continue until January 31. FMP staff requests that students and staff keep the doors on the outside of the building on both floors closed as much as possible. This will help prevent odors, dust, and noise from entering the building during the day. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Technicians from TraneOregon, Controls Contractor Inc. worked four days on site from January 17-20 to address issues discovered in the previous Building Automation System (BAS) equipment level network in the Center building. TraneOregon has found and verified several existing equipment level network communications issues that have affected temperature caused concern in the Center building. Working with Lane staff, the contractors have made great strides to resolve the Center building equipment level communications and temperature issues.

Later this week, TraneOregon and Lane staff will be working on building 19 on the previous system programming and BAS equipment level network issues uncovered. Several locations on campus are being operated manually and will continue to be until these issues have been addressed.

Work also continues with the commissioning process of the building equipment in the new addition to Building 5. BAS Phase 1 upgrades work has involved coordinating staff and students concerns in multiple buildings on the main campus with two control contractors, college energy analyst, and facilities trades staff. Lane staff continues to track affected areas with the latest BAS trending tools. Please continue to report any HVAC issues or concerns to the Facilities office at facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu or call 5216, as work to complete the system integration process is finalized.

ENERGY CONSERVATION - STUDENT FIELD WORK

On Tuesday, January 18 Energy Management students from the Commercial Energy Analysis class studied existing building conditions in Buildings 16 and 17 continuing a tradition of using the college’s facilities as a learning lab. Students and their instructor, Suzanne Marinello, avoided disrupting classes and staff during their visits. Please be aware that from time to time students may be "in the field" to look at existing classroom, office, and restroom areas as a part of the learning process in conducting energy audits. Facilities staff assists the Commercial Energy Analysis class by providing access to architectural drawings, building energy information, and access to building equipment. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
A snapshot of some of the things that are currently underway:
The architects/engineers and cost estimator continue to work on aligning the design with the budget.
The Board of Education approved adding a fifth floor to the student housing which reduces the cost per bed and thus reduces overall ongoing costs.
Five proposals were received in response to the Request for Proposals for CM/GC services. The selection committee is processing the proposals.
The leads and others from each of the programs that will occupy the academic building will meet with the architects this week to discuss what furniture, equipment and casework is needed in each of the rooms to be occupied.

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM STRATEGIC IMPROVEMENTS
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controls have been upgraded in all buildings on our LON based centralized building automation system (BAS) at the 30th Avenue campus. We are now commissioning the system with assistance from SOLARC Architecture and Engineering to assure that the system is functioning according to our specifications. Facilities staff have completed the basic and intermediate training on the BAS web interface. We are utilizing the BAS system interface to assist in commissioning the system as well diagnosing and resolving issues that arise concerning HVAC. During last week facilities staff and contractor efforts have been concentrated on resolving temperature issues in approximately 10 rooms on the second floor of Building 19. This work has involved coordinating staff and students concerns in the Building 19 areas with two control contractors, college energy analyst, and facilities trades staff. Progress has been made towards balancing out temperature fluctuations and our staff is keeping track of the effected areas with our BAS trending tools. Please continue to report any HVAC issues or concerns to the Facilities Office at facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu or call 5216 as we complete the system integration process. Commissioning for the project is expected to be complete at the end of November. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
The architects presented the latest floor plans, exterior elevations and descriptive information about the building to the management team last week for review and comment. This information has also been sent to the construction cost estimators. If their estimate is within the budget the design will move forward. If the estimate is greater, the design will have to be adjusted to align it with the budget. Leads and project user groups who represent all of the occupying programs will have an opportunity to review and comment on the building design before the schematic phase is complete. Final schematic design drawings will be posted online at 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/bond/buildingdcindex.html  Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

TRACK AND SOCCER BOWL
The infield of the track and the new soccer field is ready for use. The general contractor will be on site for the next 30 days completing the punch list of corrections created by the architect. The fence around the construction site has been removed. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

SUSTAINABILITY IN BUILDING 2 REMODEL
The Building 2 remodel was designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified standards. Green features of the building include water saving fixtures that reduce water use by 35 percent compared to a code compliant building and energy saving features that reduce energy use by 20 percent compared to a code compliant building. One of the more unique and successful energy efficiency features in Building 2 is a heat recovery system in which heat generated by the servers in the data center is used to heat the rest of the building. Jennifer Hayward, 5594.

CURRENT CONSTRUCTION NOTICES-
* TEMPERATURE CONTROL ISSUES FOR OCCUPANTS OF BUILDINGS 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 AND CENTER
Over the past few weeks, many occupants have reported being affected by temperature control issues in offices and classrooms in buildings 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and Center. This is due to the major renovation bond project work in progress to convert from one Building Automation System to another. During the course of data migration, many points did not transfer correctly and many other undocumented points were discovered. This has resulted in the inability to view and control numerous HVAC controls systems in multiple buildings. The FMP planning team is attempting to work a way through these control problems with an anticipated completion in early December.
In the meantime, we sincerely regret your discomfort. Please continue to report issues to the facilities office at extension 5216 or e-mail facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu. We appreciate your patience as we respond as quickly as possible to urgent needs. Angela Fazio, 3428.

November 2, 2010
BUILDING 10 REMODEL
Hyland Construction has started to mobilize for construction. They've moved their construction trailer onto the site, and will hook up temporary power to the project. The last of the asbestos abatement was completed last week, and Lane staff has begun demolishing the last existing sections of walls and slabs. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456 or David Amundson, 3455.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
The design team is scheduled to present schematic design level drawings (plans and elevations) of the project to the management team on Nov. 4. The major elements of the design will be the same as what was shown to the board at its October meeting. Since then the landscape architects have proposed designs for the two inside courtyards and the exterior of the building and the architects continue to refine the interior room layouts. Most people pay attention to the architectural elements - the floor plans, elevations, materials and colors. Few show interest in the engineering elements - the structure, electrical, communications and mechanical that permit the building to function. Rest assured that the engineering is moving ahead also. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

FLORENCE CENTER HVAC
Systems West Engineers has submitted options for schematic design of the new system to upgrade the Florence Center mechanical system, and Lane staff will provide feedback to them for the next phase of design. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

SOLAR STATION
The bollards to protect the new transformer have been installed by Lane trades staff. The Level 2 Charging Stations will be installed before the end of November. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

Motor Pool COPPS Procedure and Services Update
Many people use our college motor pool vehicles every year. The procedure for motor pool vehicle use is located at: http://2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/cops/veh.htm . Once a reservation for a vehicle is made on 25Live or through our facilities office, we prepare packets for each specific vehicle for you to pick up in building 7. We do ask, however, for at least a 24 hour pre-use notice. We have had several people "drop-in" at the last minute lately requesting vehicles for important college use. We were able to provide vehicles so we were lucky. These vehicles are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. There are three Toyota hybrid vehicles in our motor pool fleet. If you have never driven one, it is a great opportunity for you to have the experience of driving a high-tech hybrid that gets over 45 mpg while providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience. An older motor pool Toyota Prius was recently transferred to the college's automotive technology program to allow students to gain valuable experience working on a hybrid. We were also successful this past summer in replacing this older Toyota Prius hybrid with a newer 2007 Toyota Prius hybrid at below wholesale pricing. Partnering in a sustainable way with both the needs of college staff and students, reinforces our commitment to sustainability as a viable and strategic college core value. By using our college motor pool Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles you are demonstrating your personal commitment to sustainability. Contact Dave Willis, 5566.

Fall Wet Weather
As we enter the fall wet weather season, we often discover leaking roofs and storm drains that can back-up and create standing water. Leaking roofs can become evident by a small pool of water on the floor or a wet ceiling tile. Although the FMP trades staff have cleaned out roof gutters, inspected existing roofs, and made repairs already this fall, it is very easy to miss some potential leaking spots. Please give the facilities office a call if you see any signs of roof leaks in your area. A work request is also encouraged to be written by your department administrator. The facilities office can be reached at extension 5216 or by sending an e-mail to: facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu . Contact Dave Willis, 5566.

New Landscaping and Walking Paths
Just a reminder to please use new walking paths rather than taking a "short-cut" resulting in walking through new landscape areas on campus. During the wet fall season, it is easy to track mud and leaves into our buildings. We do hope you will partner with us in this request. Contact Dave Willis, 5566.

PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICES
Key approval update: a designated email address for all keyless access card requests has been created so there's one centralized location that captures all requests. Please send all keyless access card approvals and requests to keycard@lanecc.edu We ask that you no longer send requests directly to a PS employee. All employees trained to create keycards are part of the "keycard" email group and will receive the request. Note: hard keys require a work order request sent to FMP.

Public Safety
Buildings are locking down via the 25Live schedule. If you need access after scheduled hours, please make sure you carry your key card. If you forget your key card please call Public Safety at 5558 for access. Contact Katherine Vos, 5561.

Housekeeping Equipment
Housekeeping has purchased riding equipment to allow for cleaning of the new floors in lower building 5. Contact Katherine Vos, 5561.

Housekeeping Reminder
Did you know that those with personal office spaces are responsible to empty their office trash? There should be an assigned receptacle near your office area for your personal garbage. If you cannot locate your receptacle or if it is missing, please contact Housekeeping at 5578. Building 30 and 4 have new built-in recycle stations. Please use these stations to empty personal office garbage.
Two ways to partner with custodians to help maintain clean classrooms:
1. Remind students that food and drink are not allowed in classrooms.
2. Encourage students to utilize  non-spiral notebooks. Here's why: spiral notebooks are messy. Each time a page is torn out, numerous confetti paper pieces fall to the floor. Cleaning up these pieces adds additional workload to custodians. Contact Katherine Vos, 5561.

BUILDING 2 REMODEL
Project Manager, Jeff Durmaj of John Hyland Construction completed the building 2 remodel early and under budget in spite of being faced with a complicated project and a very short time frame for construction. The most technically-challenging part of the project, moving and upgrading the Lane data center, was started at the beginning of spring term, but the bulk of the remodel didn't start until school was out for the summer. Hyland completely remodeled the second floor in time for FMP trades and IT staff to install the equipment for enhanced classrooms and computer labs and for staff to move into the ground floor before fall term began. The building has an upgraded HVAC system that includes recovery of the heat generated by the data center, and multiple redundancies for the data center cooling. The upgrade to building 2 is putting Lane on the map as having a model data center and IT services. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

BUILDING 5 REMODEL AND ADDITION
The remodeling phase of Building 5 is complete. LCL is still working on several correction items and are expecting work to take up to 30 days to complete due to having to complete the work after hours in order avoid disrupting classes. The FEC and dance studio additions piece of the project are on schedule to will be completed by December 15. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 6 ELEVATOR
The new elevator was approved by the State Elevator Inspector. The elevator will provide accessibility to the restrooms for the Performance Hall patrons as well as by building users during the day. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Commissioning service work (systems verification and check out) for the upgraded heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controls begins this week. Formal training for our college staff on the new Web interface for the upgraded HVAC controls begins on Friday, October 29. Controls have been upgraded in all buildings on our LON based centralized building automation system (BAS) at the 30th Avenue campus. Buildings Center, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 are functioning with the Fall term occupancy schedules. Please continue to report any HVAC issues or concerns to facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu or call extension 5216 as we complete the system integration process. Work to update floor plans including the new system installed in main campus buildings has been completed by FMP staff with assistance from cooperative education students in drafting. These updated floor plans have been integrated by TraneOregon with HVAC equipment zone information and are the foundation of our new web-based system. The project is expected to be complete early December. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
A "Downtown Campus Update" was presented to the board of education at its October 13 meeting. The Project Manager updated the board about the progress made to date and the architect showed a PowerPoint presentation of the preliminary floor plans. The floor plan presentation can be viewed at http://2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/bond/downtowncampus-board10-13-10.html . Board members had questions about the housing plans - size of units, number of beds, furniture, etc. which the presenters responded to. Overall, the board seemed favorably impressed with the direction the project is going in.
 The board awarded a contract for commissioning services for the project to Interface Engineering in Portland. Interface was one of five firms that submitted proposals. None of the five were from local firms.
Copies of the preliminary floor plans have been distributed to the management team and steering committee for further review and comment. The architects continued working on the exterior elevations and interior concepts and presented their work to the management team last week on October 21. The architects presented some interior concepts and the landscape architects presented some preliminary designs for the landscaping of the building perimeter and the two courts on either side of the CML. A representative from Interface engineering (the commissioning firm) was present and discussed scope of work and process. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

TRACK AND SOCCER BOWL
The soccer field was completed and ready to be used by staff and students on October 4. Delta Construction is working on completing the concrete walkways and track surfacing. Track surfacing was completed Saturday, October 16. Scoreboard installation began on Friday, October 22. This activity is expected to cause delays with anyone wanting to use the jogging trail. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

FACILITIES TRADES
FMP Trades are back into a more normal routine of operations, maintenance, and responding to work orders after three very hectic weeks of completing projects and preparing the campus to welcome students and staff back for fall term. This past month, FMP received 420 work orders and completed 510, slowly whittling into our backlog of outstanding requests. Some notable projects completed this week include office remodels for STEM grant (Building 12), roof leak repairs (Building 11 and Florence), laundry boiler repair (Building 7), light repairs (Florence), fabrication of podium and cabinets (Longhouse), mold remediation and duct cleaning (Building 4), investigation and rectification of temperature problems throughout campus due to transition of the new Building Automation System. To submit facility work orders, please see your department Administrative Coordinator. Contact: Angela Fazio, 3428.

CURRENT CONSTRUCTION NOTICES -
TEMPERATURE CONTROL ISSUES
Over the past few weeks, many occupants have reported being affected by temperature control issues in offices and classrooms in buildings 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and Center. This is due to the major renovation bond project work in progress to convert from one Building Automation System to another. During the course of data migration, many points did not transfer correctly and many other undocumented points were discovered. This has resulted in the inability to view and control numerous HVAC controls systems in multiple buildings. The FMP planning team is attempting to work a way through these control problems with an anticipated completion in early December. In the meantime, we sincerely regret your discomfort. Please continue to report issues to the facilities office at extension 5216 or e-mail facilitiesoffice@lanecc.edu . We appreciate your patience as we respond as quickly as possible to urgent needs. Angela Fazio, 3428.

The project is expected to be complete at the end of October. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
Architectural work on both the academic and student housing portions of the building is on schedule and going well. The affected college personnel are to be congratulated for their timely work.
Over the last two weeks the architects have presented the preliminary floor plans to the management team and the leads and faculty of the occupying programs. All were very impressed with the plans and think they will meet the functional needs of their programs. The architects have started work on the exterior elevations of the building and will present those within the following weeks. The schematic design phase is nearing completion and this means that the major elements of the design (the floor plans, elevations, passive design elements, basic structure, etc.) are in place and a preliminary cost estimate can be started. The design development (DD) phase comes next. In DD the architects work with each of the occupants to design the interiors of each room. This includes cabinets, door locations, office, classroom and lab layouts, etc.
The board is expected to award a contract for commissioning services at its meeting on Oct. 13. Contact Bob Mention, Bond Project Manager, 5747.

SOLAR STATION
Bond trades staff will begin work this week at the Solar Station to install two bollards at the Parking Lot B electrical transformer required by the Lane County. Please be aware that there may be minor impact to parking in the two adjoining spaces in front of the transformer. The first five Level I charging stations are installed. These produce 120-volt electricity and will be converted to dual Level I/II charging stations (dual voltage levels of 120 or 208 volts). Five additional dual level stations will be installed in late Nov. or early December. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
The architects continue meeting with the leads and faculty from various programs to show them preliminary designs of their space and its location in the building. Representatives from Facilities, Public Safety and Housekeeping have also met with the architects to discuss their needs. As noted previously the design process is iterative. The architects are also continuing to explore housing unit designs, common spaces and options for trash removal and recycling. Preliminary exterior design concepts are scheduled to be presented to the management team on Wednesday, Oct. 6. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

FLORENCE HVAC REPLACEMENT
College staff is reviewing the schematic design report for the mechanical system replacement at the Florence campus. Earlier this summer, college staff, Systems West engineers, and PIVOT Architecture worked together at the first public user group (PUG) meeting to give input for the creation of the schematic design. College staff is beginning the hiring process for a commissioning agent who will help the college to ensure that we meet our mechanical system replacement design objectives. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

SOLAR STATION
The solar station commissioning agent, EESI, has been hired and is beginning its work with FMP staff and the construction team to verify that our project requirements have been met. As of noon on Sept. 29, and a total of 183 hours of operation, the solar station has generated 2,002 kilowatt hours of AC power back to the Lane electrical grid. That is the equivalent of 1.5 months of power for an average Lane county residential house in a little over a week. The first five Level I charging stations have been installed. These produce 120-volt electricity and will be converted to dual Level I/II charging stations (dual voltage levels of 120 or 208 volts). Five additional dual level stations will be installed in late November or early December. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

September 28, 2010
BUILDING 4 REMODEL
The project is now in its final stages of being completed. Staff members have been moved back into the new office spaces and are nearly ready for the fall term. Lease Crutcher Lewis (LCL) is still on the site working on minor punch list items, finishing some small details, and making sure staff members have what they need. Punch list items that require using chemicals or paint will be completed after hours and will be well ventilated after the work has been completed. Access control hardware is installed in all areas in building 4 but programming issues are still being worked on and all doors may intermittently become non-operational throughout the day, Monday, Sept. 27. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 5 REMODEL AND ADDITION
This project will complete in two phases. The remodeling portion of the project is completed and ready to occupy. The first phase includes a complete remodel of the check out area and a new classroom addition. Many of the areas still need to have a final coat of paint, and some additional cleaning will be on going for two more weeks. Deep cleaning that requiring the use of chemicals will be completed after hours as done in the past by the Lane janitorial staff. Areas inside the remodeled area will be painted after 9 PM and will be completed in a well-ventilated location. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
Schematic design work continues. Two significant meetings happened last week: the architects presented preliminary plans for all four floors of the academic building to the Management Team and the engineers discussed building control concepts with Energy Management program representatives and FMP personnel. Both meetings were very productive. A meeting is being arranged for Thursday, Sept. 30 for the steering committee and others to review the preliminary floor plans and make comments.
A topographical survey of the site has been completed and the Geotechnical investigation of the site is about to begin. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

TRACK AND SOCCER BOWL UPGRADES
Delta Construction with the help of Field Turf has completed the infield surface of the track. Atlas Track Surfacing has been on the site since Sept. 23 and started applying the first layer of track coating on Saturday, Sept. 24. Because of the amount time to complete the task, this work will be completed in mid-Oct. . The new score board delivery is on schedule and plans are that we will be installing it the third week of Oct. . Heavy rains have delayed the project by a few days, but the crews remain confident they can be completed by Oct. 1. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

 

September 21, 2010
BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM STRATEGIC IMPROVEMENTS
Router equipment enclosures have been installed in Buildings 4, 6, 7, 12, and 16. New routers have been installed in Buildings 4 and 7. Coordination continues between the building automation system (BAS) phase one contractor, TraneOregon, the bond construction teams, IT, and FMP staff to assist the integration of the new and existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controls at Buildings 4, 5, and 7 into an upgraded campus system. Work to extract information from Buildings 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 will begin in the coming weeks. The goals of phase one project include replacement of the BAS information routing equipment and upgrading the BAS network interface to a web-based system. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

BUILDING 2 REMODEL
Inspections by building officials and the State Fire Marshal were successful, and Lane received a certificate of occupancy for the completely remodeled building. IT staff continue to move into their offices and Lane moving crews, carpenters, electricians and IT staff are installing furniture, wiring, teaching podiums, screens, white boards, projectors, computers and other equipment into the enhanced classrooms and Distance Learning classrooms. The newly remodeled data center on the ground floor provides upgraded routers and servers for better communication at peak use hours. The equipment is housed in racks that supply cooled air directly to the electronics from an updated HVAC system. The data center cooling is expected to be more effective and uses only half the energy. Redundant HVAC systems will automatically switch on in the event of a cooling system failure to protect the equipment from overheating. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

BUILDING 4 REMODEL
The building 4 project was one of the most challenging projects completed this year. A joint effort with Lane staff, GBD Architecture, and Lease Crutch Lewis made this project a success. The entire HVAC system constructed below ground in the 1960s was abandoned and a new HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning) system was installed. The new duct system has a sealed air supply and return air system makes the indoor air quality the highest quality possible. The new floor design added six new classrooms and a new computer lab with new computers. An open floor plan and large windows will provide a comfortable environment for students to enhance their education. Most staff members will be returning this week to a new office space that is larger, with better indoor lighting, and in an environment constructed to LEED standards. Large exterior windows and indoor glass provide day lighting inside the building giving staff a natural well-lit working environment. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 5 REMODEL AND ADDITION
As the addition portion of this project to this building continues, most of the remodel work to this area is complete. The addition of the dance studio is scheduled to be completed by December 15. Several features have been designed into the floor plan that better defines access to the lower floor. The main entry doors were replaced with new storefront glass doors exposing the lobby area as a central relaxing environment of both buildings. From the second floor, the concrete walls have been cut open to allow staff and students to see the stairs leading to the lower level and the display of the new checkout counter and the new state of the art storage system. This centrally located checkout area will provide better access and is designed to reduce congestion during busy class times. The women's shower facilities have been expanded to allow room for more lockers which are scheduled to be installed during the winter break. The Fitness Center has been renovated providing an enhanced natural airflow from the glass doors installed as part of the new design. Two large fans have been added to the ceiling of the fitness center that will draw air from the outside and will exhaust through vents placed on the roof. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 6 ELEVATOR
The new elevator was approved by the State Elevator Inspector. The elevator will provide accessibility to the restrooms for the Performance Hall patrons as well as by building users during the day. The new piano lab is equipped with new electronic pianos for group keyboard classes. Contact David Amundson, 3455.

BUILDING 19 BUSINESS OFFICES
This project is complete and this week staff will finish moving into their new office spaces. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
Architects and engineers continue working on the schematic design of the building. The schedule shows the schematic design phase wrapping up by late October. There's much to accomplish before then.
The second student housing charrette was held last Friday. The conversation focused on sustainable design options and floor plan arrangements. The architects received a lot of good input that will influence the next design iteration.
Last week the selection committee interviewed two firms that proposed commissioning services. The committee is currently deciding which firm to recommend to the board for awarding the contract.
Two meetings are scheduled for this week. One will be for the management team to review and comment on some floor plan proposals and the other is planned for some of the energy management program faculty and a few FMP staff to discuss building control systems.
At its September meeting, the Board of Education accepted CMGC findings and directed administration to move to a public hearing. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

FLORENCE HVAC REPLACEMENT
This week FMP staff received the schematic design report for the mechanical system replacement at the Florence CLC. Earlier this summer, college staff, Systems West Engineers, and PIVOT Architecture worked together at the first public user group (PUG) meeting to give input for the creation of the schematic design report. College staff will review the report in the next several weeks and begin the hiring process for a commissioning agent who will help the college to ensure that we meet our mechanical system replacement design objectives. Contact Anna Scott, 5805.

SOLAR STATION
The Solar Station photovoltaic array system was started up this week and it is generating AC power. After a total of only 19 hours of operation, the solar station has generated 290 kilowatt hours of electricity back to the Lane electrical grid. The first five Level I charging stations have also been installed. These produce 120-volt electricity and will be converted to dual Level I/II charging stations (dual voltage levels of 120 or 208 volts) and five additional dual level stations will be installed in late November or early December. Contact Dave Smith, 4633.

TRACK AND SOCCER BOWL UPGRADES
Track: Delta Construction and Field Turf have been working long hours to reach the goal of having the project completed. Although the entire project will not be completed until November, the new track and field surfaces will be ready to be used by the fall term. This was a huge hurdle for all the construction crews to complete such a large project in a very short amount of time. Upgrades made to the new outdoor area are a new synthetic field, long jump spaces, shot put areas, and concrete sidewalks for easy access. The new asphalt track will need to be covered with a two-tone rubber coating that is expected to last for over 10 years. The new score board that is to be installed mid October will be completely digital and will allow track officials to display results for all lanes at one time. With the Titan name displayed on the top, other proud sponsors will be able to display their information on the other three panels that surround the scoreboard. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.
Soccer Bowl: This field is an exciting addition for the physical education and sports programs. The new design allows for better access and outdoor spectator seating. In the past, this area was often wet and standing water was always an issue. With the newly engineered draining system and gravel parking, the water will now drain into an underground storm-drain system keeping the area dry and useable year round. An access road has been added to the southeast corner of the field so those with limited physical ability will be able to park next to the field making their time more enjoyable. After the field is completed, the old baseball scoreboard will be replaced with a new, larger, double-sided digital scoreboard that is used for the new soccer and baseball fields. Surrounding the new scoreboards reaching twenty feet high will be a protective netting system allowing both fields to be used at the same time and provides protection from flying balls on both playing fields. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

September 14, 2010
DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
The Board of Education took important steps at its September meeting to move the Downtown Campus building project forward. They awarded a contract for project management services to the firm of Gerding Edlen. This is the same firm that provided those services for the feasibility report. They approved the construction management general contractor (CMGC) method of project delivery, and decided that the college would build and own the student housing part of the project instead of turning it over to a private developer. Also discussed were some options for financing the whole project.
The architects prepared some design options for the first floor of the academic building and the student housing units. These were reviewed and commented on by the management team and the housing subgroup respectively. The next iteration of the housing design will be brought back for review on September 17 and the next iteration of the academic building design will be reviewed on September 22.
Building controls, commissioning and geotechnical investigation, and a other work is underway. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

SOLAR STATION
The electrical contractor continues to install PV panels and necessary components for the first five Level I charging stations and expects to complete this work this week. In November, the components of the first five dual Level I stations will be replaced and converted to dual Level I/II stations. In addition, five more stations will be installed that will bring the total of dual Level I/II stations to 10 which will complete this project. Parking and passage impacts immediately around the Solar Station work area will continue throughout the week. Contact Dave Smith, 3433.

BUILDING 4 REMODEL
General contractor LCL and its subcontractors are working seven days a week cleaning all areas getting ready for the moving crews to start moving staff into their new office the week of September 13. This fast paced time in the project has heightened the awareness for safety, and LCL is requiring safety equipment be used by all staff and construction employees until the project is completed. Exterior painting of Building 4 started this week and will be on going through S FMP will be working with the contractor to complete parts of the building that were touched during the remodeling. On September 2 the new HVAC system was put into operation allowing the system to flush all the new smells out of the building before staff is moved in. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 5 REMODEL AND ADDITION
Crews are working seven days a week making upgrades to the first floor. Building 5 is taking shape with the new rounded and open design on the first floor. The new glass doors located on the east side of the fitness center were installed on September 1. The new addition is going strong with an expected completion of December 15. Openings have been cut and crews installed the new steel stairs the week of September 6. Remodeling of this section of the building is on schedule to be completed by December 15. Crews are working at an accelerated pace to make sure parts of Building 5 are open and ready for the fall term. The fitness center floor has been refinished, and crews will be moving in equipment starting September 15. Through the holiday weekend, a new floor covering system was installed in the first floor that is especially designed to resist high traffic while being very low maintenance. A specialized floor surfacing company was on site working through the weekend to install a system on the first level of Building 4. The materials used in this process emit a strong odor during installation and will be noticeable for up to seven days after installation. Demolition crews will be back on the site this week cutting larger holes in the concrete tower to allow larger vents to be installed allowing additional air flow to the HVAC units. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

BUILDING 19 BUSINESS OFFICE REMODEL
This project is in the final cleaning stages. Final inspection is scheduled for this week, and office staff will be moving in during the week of September 13. Contact Mark Richardson, 3456.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS BUILDING
In general, the design team continues its preliminary work. Several firms submitted proposals for commissioning services and project management services for the project. Selection committees evaluated proposals and the project management selection committee will recommend a firm for board action at the September 8 meeting. A land survey of the downtown site has been completed. The architects are scheduled to meet with the project management team on Friday, September 10.
The college has hired a firm to prepare a topographical survey of the site. That survey was completed and the maps were delivered to the college on September 3.
Architects are continuing to design options that fit programs and support functions into the academic building. A student housing charette occurred at the college last Friday where the architects presented some diagrams of different apartment options. Students and administrators responded with their thoughts. The architects will incorporate the responses into the next iteration. Another housing charette is scheduled for September 17. Contact Bob Mention, 5747.

BLT (Bond Leadership Team) Update
Track and Soccer Bowl Upgrades: I am pleased to report that there has been a very successful resolution to the athletic field design issue which emerged over the last couple of weeks. The Health/PE/Athletics project user group (PUG) has agreed to a proposal that maintains most of the original athletic field bond-funded upgrade plan with one change: the new turf soccer field will be located north of the current grass soccer field rather than replace it.

The Bond Leadership Team is recommending this solution to Lane's Executive Team for expected approval. As a result, Lane will have use of both the old and new soccer fields for the foreseeable future. The change keeps the project within budget, allows construction to proceed on schedule, and adds to capacity while allowing for future buildings. 

Thanks to all involved parties including the Bond Leadership Team, Facilities Council, Bond Management Leadership Team, VP Sonya Christian, U of O Associate Professor Mark Gilham and his Urban Design Lab students, landscape architects Cameron, McCarthy, Gilbert and Sheibe and especially the PUG for their vision and flexibility.

Two and a half days of intensive meetings occurred last week. On January 19, the project manager and architects met with the college steering committee and representatives from the city to conduct an Eco-charette. The following day and a half was spent in meetings of about an hour each where the leads of the various units informed the project manager and architects about the space needs and functions performed by their units. At the end of the week, the steering committee had a good idea of what a high-performing healthy building means and the architects had a good idea of the instructional space requirements. Added to this was information gained about what space the city might lease and what the student housing component might be. This week the project manager will be working on funding and tenant issues and the architects will be creating some design concepts. Contact Bob Mention, 541-463-5747.
