1/9 – 1/11: [PARKING LOT 12A] Project Deliveries Possible Congestion and Delays

Posted on by lpitts

Building Occupants,

There will be a series of material deliveries in Parking Lot 12A on 1/9, 1/10, and 1/11 from 7:00 am – 12:00 pm (noon) each day. These deliveries will require the use of a full-size semi and may create some additional congestion in the parking lot. Andersen Construction will have two staff monitoring the parking lot activity and assisting vehicles entering/exiting the lot.

This may impact occupants of Pacific Hall, Lawrence Hall, Cascade Hall, Cascade Annex and Onyx Bridge.

For questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Design and Construction Project Manager Nick Pritchard at 541-346-9139.

1/22: [Museum of Natural & Cultural History] Tree Removal, Sidewalk and Building Entrance Closure

Posted on by lpitts

Building Occupants,

On Monday, January 22, 2018, from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm the Red Alder Tree on the north side of the Museum of Natural & Cultural History (MNCH) will be removed This red alder tree has, unfortunately, been infected by a phytopthera. This disease of plants causes a borderless canker on the trunk and branches that exudes a discharge that is an aesthetic issue for both the building and walkway as well as a contagion issue for other alder trees in the area.  Other alder trees on campus are infected with this disease and will be removed in the near future to attempt to limit the vector’s spread. This is regrettable but necessary.  CPFM will replant the site with a suitable species and consult with MNCH.

During this removal the sidewalk and employee entrance on the north side of the building will be temporarily closed.  There will be noise and congestion associated with this work.

For questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Arborist Becket Dechant at 505-699-700 or CPFM Landscape Supervisor Phill Carroll at 541-246-0031.

Small Project Timeline for Summer Construction

Posted on by lpitts

Happy New Year from Design and Construction!

Though the Winter break has just past, now is the time to start planning for any small remodel projects you might be considering in preparation for Fall Term 2018. The summer months are typically when the majority of this project size are constructed. However, depending on project complexity, it can take several months to program, design, and bid projects ahead of the 2018 summer construction season which is June 19, 2018 through September 21, 2018.

Design and Construction and our Special Projects team would like to assist you in implementing your small capital project goals. A small project has a typical project value of up to $250k of limited complexity.

Small projects may include:

–          Furniture procurement (8-10 week lead times once ordered)

–          Interior Finish Improvements & Updates (flooring, paint, and similar scope)

–          Office or small suite renovations

–          Learning Environment Improvements & Updates

–          And other projects of similar size & scope

So we can offer the best possible services to you, all projects must be submitted based on the following schedule in order to be completed this summer. Late project submission places a burden not only to our staff but to the projects that are already in the project queue; and given the current construction climate in Eugene, contractor availability may be limited as summer draws near.

 

Project Value Range* Project Submission Deadline
$100,000 – $250,000 February 1, 2018
$0 – $100,000 March 1, 2018

*For complex projects of any dollar threshold, completing the project within Summer 2018

may not be possible. A schedule determination will be made during the submittal and scoping process.

Project requests should be submitted through our online Capital Projects Initiation Form.

If you are not familiar with our project delivery process, feel free to review our on-line Project Toolkit:  https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/project-toolkit for helpful information.

Posted on by jepeters

Building User,

Beginning Friday, December 28, 2017 at 7:00 am, until Friday, March 30th, 2018, at 5:00 pm, saw cutting of sidewalks has begun to allow for entry to the underground tunnel for work on the chilled water piping. Sidewalks will be closed in the Plaza area on the east side of LLC, between LLC and Walton. Fencing has been placed to protect pedestrians during this work.

An outside contractor will remove the old piping in the tunnel and replace it with new, larger chilled water piping.
