Campus Community:

It is near the end of another calendar year, and summer 2019 is quickly approaching. Design and Construction, in the spirit of good partnership, wants to help you plan and prepare for your capital project needs. The level of time associated with developing and implementing a campus project may take longer than you might anticipate.

The schedule below represents the typical time, based on project value, to program and design a project prior to beginning construction work:

• $0-$25K 8-12 weeks to start construction
• $25K-$50K 10-18 weeks to start construction
• $50K-$100K 12-20 weeks to start construction
• $100K-$1M 20-30 weeks to start construction

The most effective way to submit your project is through the Design and Construction website at:
https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/project-initiation-request-0

If you need any planning assistance prior to project submission, feel free to contact:

Bruce Budzik
Owners Representative, Capital Improvement Coordinator, and Small Projects Manager

The basic steps in project development and implementation include:

1. Initiation from user
2. OR/PM/User defines scope
3. OR/PM develops scoping statement and budget
4. Scope/budget approval from End User
5. Design process
6. Bidding and permit process
7. Construction contract execution
8. Construction
9. Closeout process

Geotechnical investigation will be taking place on the Collier House site lawn area and on the east end of the Gerlinger Field Green on December 14th.  Five bores are planned for the Collier House site and one on Gerlinger Field Green.  Noise will be generated while the boring drill is active, otherwise no other disruptions are anticipated.

A full-size section of the Knight Campus glass building facade will be constructed to test the connections/construction methods for the building exterior. This will be located west of CPS and north of the temporary accounting trailer in the back 40.  This will be in place for approximately one year starting October, 23.

For questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Design and Construction Knight Campus Project Manager Darin Dehle at ddehle@uoregon.edu

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.

*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.
