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.

Update: 13th Ave Repaving Week of 5/18

Posted on by lpitts

Update 6/5/2020: Bike markings install along 13th Avenue from Agate St to University St have been rescheduled to the week of 6/15 and is dependent on weather.  During install the street will remain open but with some minor disruption.  All other project related work is complete.

Update 5/21/2020: The repaving of 13th Ave has been completed and the street is reopened for traffic.  Due to the need for dry weather the paint striping work has been postponed to this Saturday, 5/23.  Western Asphalt Maintenance will perform this work.  The City of Eugene will perform their striping work on Tuesday/Wednesday, 5/26-27.   Another contractor, JBL, plans to install the thermoplastic bike markings the week of June 1st.  Campus users can expect minor disruptions to traffic and some parking restrictions in order to conduct this work. All this work is weather dependent and the schedule may change.  The contractors will keep the project manager updated if anything changes.

 

UPDATE 5/14/20:

For the finalized schedule, Wildish Construction will perform the cold plane mill on Tuesday (May 19th) and pave on Wednesday (May 20th). During this time, they will keep one lane open with limited, restricted access, and flaggers. Paint striping/bike street markings will happen afterward on Thursday (May 21st). This portion of work is being contracted separately by UO’s Transportation Services and Design and Construction.  All work is weather dependent.  The contractor will keep the project manager updated if anything changes.

 

Project Timeline: Week of  May 18, 2020

Building(s) or Area(s) Impacted:  13th Avenue from Agate Street to approximately 200 yards east of University Street.

Details: CPFM Design & Construction is tentatively planning the repaving of 13th Avenue from Agate Street to approximately 200 yards east of University Street. The project involves a partial asphalt mill and overlay to smooth out the street surface. Construction is tentatively planned for the week of May 18th. During this time, the street will remain open but be restricted to limited local traffic, some deliveries, and emergency vehicles.

It is advised that users seek alternative parking and routes, or limit vehicle access to buildings around the project during construction. Campus users can expect to see and hear heavy equipment, trucks, construction workers, possible jack-hammering, and the smell of hot asphalt.

Contact: If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Theo Davis, CPFM Project Manager, 541-346-1012

Closure of Riverfront Parkway underpass to Railroad

Posted on by lpitts

UPDATE 11/30/20: This work has been extended through December 20th.

UPDATE 6/29/20: This work has been extended through the end of September.

Within the next few days, we will start to close off the extension of Riverfront Parkway that connects to the underpass under the railroad tracks. This is being shut down completely in association with the construction of the parking garage. As rework to the roadway, as well as large trucks accessing the site loaded with huge pieces of pre-cast concrete will make that extension an unsafe location for pedestrians, bikes and vehicles.

Access to the area of campus north of the railroad will need to occur through either the Garden Way underpass, or the access near the old EWEB heat plant.

Simon Ditton confirmed with the fire department that they would be able to access the north property through the EWEB route.

We will be installing detour signage on the construction fence that is being installed around the perimeter of the area, guiding people to the Garden Way Underpass.

This will remain closed until the garage work is complete, which will likely be near the end of June.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Spring break power outages postponed

Posted on by lpitts

Update 3/12/20

Spring break power outages postponed

The spring break power outages have been postponed. The outages were originally scheduled March 23-24 to allow for critical utility maintenance and testing.

“Because of the steps the UO has taken to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, we have made the decision to postpone the power outages,” said Mike Harwood, associate vice president of Campus Planning and Facilities Management. “This will keep staff available to be part of the university’s response to the virus.”

CPFM is working closely with the Incident Command Team and will reassess the situation in mid-April.

For questions, contact the CPFM Work Control Center at 541-346-2319 or visit the power outage website for updates.

For information about the UO’s response to the virus, visit the coronavirus webpage.

https://around.uoregon.edu/content/spring-break-power-outages-postponed

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The Utilities and Energy department will conduct maintenance on feeder breakers that will require short duration power outages on Monday, March 23rd and Tuesday, March 24th. Most buildings on campus will experience brief duration power outages lasting approximately 10 minutes plus building restoration time. This utility maintenance is critical for the continued safe operation of the campus electrical system.

On Monday, the feeder shutdowns and planned outages will start at 8:00 am and buildings will experience a brief outage at a scheduled time based on building feeder. On Tuesday, the entire campus will move from EWEB power onto full campus power temporarily to test the backup generator system at the Central Power Station at 8:00 am. During the testing, the power to campus may be lost if a portion of the system does not perform as expected.

Posted on by lpitts

Update 2/5/20 from Denise Stewart – In order to insulate the piping so it will not sweat/condense when the chilled water is turned back on, this shutdown has been extended. The work is expected to be completed on Wednesday, February 12th.

Update 1/13/20 8:20 pm: From Jim Cody, Associate Director of Facilities Services:

Chilled water will be off to Klamath, Onyx Bridge, Streisinger, Huestis, and Willamette, including all processed cooling water loops until approximately noon on Tuesday, January 14th. Contractors are working overnight to install a bypass to allow most buildings to receive chilled water. Klamath and Onyx Bridge will continue to be without chilled water until the February 7th date identified in the initial shutdown.

For any questions or concerns, please contact Denise Stewart at 541-335-1258.

Update 1/13/20: In order to accommodate this chilled water shutdown request, both Huestis Hall and Willamette Hall will also be without chilled water for the duration.

Update Regarding Revised Building Access Request Process

Posted on by lpitts

Revised Building Access Request Process Notification

UPDATE

As a result of further consideration informed by feedback received from the campus community, Campus Planning & Facilities Management (CPFM) will initiate the initial phase of a revised key distribution process to streamline processes and improve building security and access. Follow up phases and modifications to the process will result from the work of a Building Access Advisory Committee to be formed over the next year.

Beginning 1/2/2020, this initial phase will transition away from the previous refundable key deposit system to a no-fee based system for initial, non-consignment key requests.  Non-refundable fees will only be charged to requesting Departments for consignment (department managed loaner/check out keys) and lost/replacement key requests.  Departments are accountable for all keys issued on behalf of the Department and will continue to be responsible for all costs associated with Departmental re-keying requests as well as re-keying activities resulting from lost, stolen or misplaced keys operating doors opened by individual, sub-master, and building master keys.

Individual key holders and Departments who received keys on or before 1/2/2020 and paid a deposit will receive refunds upon request during a time frame to be determined and communicated in the next few weeks.

University keys are the property of the University of Oregon, and therefore it is imperative key management records are accurate to ensure all keys are accounted for. The Key and Access office will continue to track all issued keys by individual user via the access request form (https://emu.uoregon.edu/key-and-access-office).  Departments are allowed to take the key from a leaving/transferring employee and assign it to another employee without returning it to the Key and Access office by processing the same access request form as an initial access request. In all cases, the final key holder will be required to sign the Key Issuance form officially transferring the possession of the key from the previous to current key holder.

Fee Structure:

Key Description Fee
Replacement Building Exterior/ Individual Room Door Key $10
Departmental Consignment Keys $10
Replacement Department Master Key (building sub-master key) $40
Replacement Building Master Keys (requires CPFM Facilities approval) $80

 

Other Access Fees Add/Delete/Updates
Individual Key-pad Programming

(Modifications to Locknetic and Omni locks)

 $65/hour

(Time & Material Charge)

To request building access, visit the Key and Access website at https://emu.uoregon.edu/key-and-access-office and select the appropriate form along the right side of the page.

Key distribution and access control is managed by CPFM Facilities Services as part of the EMU ID Card Services Key and Access Office.
