PLC Roof Work Advisory 6/22/20 – 7/23/20

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE 7/2/20:

We have confirmation that Anderson Roofing will be working on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th.  We have asked that they concentrate on the penthouse roof for all three days, which means radio communication will be shut down for the weekend.

 

UPDATE 6/26/20:

We just received word from the contractor on the PLC Roof project that they will not be working this weekend due to the potential for rain.  There will be no radio communication shut down as stated in the description below.

 

Begin: Monday, June 22nd, 2020

End:    Thursday, July 23rd, 2020

Building and Area Impacted: PLC (Prince Lucien Campbell), plus Kincaid Street, just south of 14th Street.

Scope:  Removal and reroofing of the top level, and the mechanical room.

Services Impacted:

  • A large crane will be placed on Kincaid Street, just south of the intersection with 14th Avenue.
  • Kincaid Street will be closed per the Traffic Safety plan for at least the first two weeks of construction and possibly into the third week of July 6 – 10.
  • Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be impacted, as well as parking.
  • Penthouse work and therefore radio communications shut downs, will be on weekends only. The weekend of June 27 and 28 July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and the weekend of July 11th and 12th will see shutdowns.  If needed, and if it does not interfere with UO activities, Anderson will work on the penthouse the weekend of July 4, but because this is a holiday they are trying to give the crew the time off.

Extra Notes:  Anderson Construction has requested use of a bathroom on the top floor of the PLC.  They will provide a portable toilet on the roof and on the street but would like to have access to running water mainly as part of the COVID response.  This bathroom would not see a great deal of use.  There are two bathrooms on the south side near the roof entrance. Please let me know what you think-we do not want to increase risk of exposure to people in the building.

Building Steam Management for Spring 2020

Posted on by jepeters

As the warmer weather arrives, CPFM Facilities Services will again implement its process for systematically deactivating the heat within steam-controlled buildings. These locations include the following:

  • Chapman
  • Collier House
  • Condon
  • Deady
  • Esslinger
  • Friendly
  • Gerlinger
  • Hendricks
  • Lokey Education (East and West)
  • Music (radiators only)
  • Mac Court (radiators only)
  • Susan Campbell
  • Villard

Because turning off the system is an involved and lengthy process, Facilities Services has established the following methodology regulating when technicians will deactivate the steam for the warmer season:

As Spring temperatures become warmer, we systematically turn off the steam when outside nighttime air temperature is above 50 degrees for five (5) consecutive nights AND daytime air temperature is above 70 degrees for five (5) consecutive days.

Since Spring temperatures may vary widely from day to day, building occupants can expect inside temperatures to fluctuate until outside conditions meet the above criteria, and technicians can deactivate the steam.

Power Outage 2020 Update

Posted on by lpitts

Dear UO campus community,

We are writing to inform you and help you plan for upcoming planned power outages scheduled to take place across campus on Monday, June 1, and Tuesday, June 2.

These include:

  • Short, staggered outages during scheduled times starting at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, June 1, and lasting throughout the morning and early afternoon. Affected buildings are listed here.
  • A campus-wide shutdown at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 2, will result in a brief loss of power to all buildings on campus.

This is the same project originally slated to take place during spring break, but that has been rescheduled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Both the impacted buildings and the outage schedule remain the same as the original project.

While we recognize that most of you are not on campus at present, it is important for you to consider how these outages might affect your equipment and your operations and to plan accordingly. For some, this may mean powering down equipment in advance of scheduled outages or taking additional steps.

If you would like assistance in planning for the outage, you may submit this survey to request help. The survey can be used to seek assistance in powering down and/or rebooting equipment on campus, including desktop computers.

The university does not expect major disruptions to its wired or wireless network on campus, or its core IT services such as email, Canvas, Zoom, DuckWeb, Banner, or Office 365 during this project.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the detailed timeline for these scheduled outages, which are posted on the June power outage webpage hosted by Campus Planning and Facilities Management. If you would like assistance in assessing potential impacts and planning for the outage, you may submit this survey to request help.

Additionally, we anticipate that on-campus operations will still be suspended at the start of June and building access will be limited. Individuals returning to campus to make preparations for the outages need to submit the appropriate access request forms.

We appreciate your flexibility and thank you for support in completing this critical utility maintenance.

Updates will be posted on the June power outage webpage and shared on Around the O.

For additional questions about the outages, please contact work control at workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu or 541-346-2319.

Allen Hall Water Intrusion 5/9/20

Posted on by jepeters

This email is intended to provide information regarding the water intrusion event in Allen Hall on 5-9-2020. Specific areas impacted, mitigation planning, an overview of the process, and insurance process guidelines are included below.

The cause of the water intrusion is related to a piece of HVAC equipment above the ceiling at the South end of H301. The specific cause has yet to be determined, but the unit has been turned off and the leak has been halted.

Areas impacted include rooms H301, 302, H318, 319, 319A, & 221. The areas will be contained and dried over the coming days. Access may be challenging during this time. We anticipate mitigation set up to begin on Monday 5-11-2020 in the afternoon. Minimal amounts of impacts to building finishes will be conducted, and noisy equipment will be used for days to dry affected materials. It is imperative that the equipment is left alone to run uninterrupted to promulgate drying.

The mitigation process is tasked with drying all affected materials with the ultimate goal of limiting demolition and preventing mold growth. The mitigation process is managed by Environmental Health & Safety.

The reconstruction process is tasked with returning the space to finished and operational status. The reconstruction process is managed by CPFM.

Both mitigation and reconstruction are conducted by University staff whenever possible to save money and reduce complications associated with the work. Outside contractors are used when mitigation or reconstruction scopes exceed our available staff or equipment resources.

Individual departments are responsible for inventorying damaged non-building related items, such as computers, office furnishings, lab equipment, etc. The Office of Risk Management within Safety & Risk Services is available to provide guidance, inventory forms, and other information on the insurance process associated with these claims. This information can be found at https://safety.uoregon.edu/property-claims.
