A large-scale traffic redesign of the downtown core of Tillamook also adds a new connection for the community to enjoy pedestrian access to natural areas. Including the complete replacement of the Hoquarten Slough bridge and realignment of the couplet where the area’s main highways meet, the roadway design increases capacity and efficiency while reducing the threat of flooding.
Efficient Roadway Design and Construction
In partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Quincy Engineering, this $25 million roadway design in downtown Tillamook makes significant improvements to both US101 and OR6. Along with the intersection between the two highways, reconstruction of the US101 bridge over Hoquarten Slough. Road redevelopment that daylighted storm drains and decreased run off, reduces potential flooding. The project also adds a new parklet and an extension of a pedestrian pathway across a reused rail bridge, connecting two natural areas on either side of Highway 6. Otak designed these improvements while managing construction through completion as part of the broader revitalization of downtown Tillamook.
The Tigard-Tualatin School District’s $350 million bond focuses on facility technology improvements as well as seismic and security upgrades to ensure these schools remain safe and functional for the community. Otak is providing school bond program and project management while overseeing the expansion of new elementary and middle schools, major renovations at each high school, and many other comprehensive and sustainable updates to most of the schools within the district.
Managing a School Bond for District-Wide Technology Upgrades and New Sustainable Facilities
Improvements across the district focus on HVAC updates, roof repairs, and outfitting classrooms and schools with new technology to enhance the creative thinking in the STEM classrooms. As part of expanding their facilities, construction of the new, award-winning Art Rutkin Elementary School adds 75,000 square-feet of space for students. Work at district high schools include Creekside Community High School, becoming one of the first net-zero education buildings in the state. The mass timber building is intentionally designed with a sloped, south-facing roofline to support solar opportunities on the way to pursuing net-zero energy. Altogether, these upgrades and renovations are designed to create an environment that promotes forward thinking, innovation and encourages an education system that serves the community for years to come.
The Swedish Issaquah Medical Campus project represents the largest hospital project in Seattle in more than 30 years. An integrated project delivery method was used to support the project, resulting in completion one year under schedule which translated to savings of millions of dollars in construction overhead.
An Efficient Construction Process and Sustainable Design, Saving Cost and Energy
The full-service, 630,000-square-foot campus is home to a five-story hospital supporting several primary and specialty care clinics. It also houses a full-service emergency department, the Swedish Cancer Institute facility, a pharmacy, a laboratory, and an imaging center. The 175-inpatient bed facility also includes a mini shopping area with eight retail stores, a Starbucks, and a full-service restaurant and cafeteria. In addition to providing full project management services, we secured medical equipment as well as furniture, fixtures, and equipment; coordinated IT systems procurement; managed budgets; and estimated costs. In 2013, Swedish Medical Center was named the most energy-efficient hospital in the United States, using 43 percent less energy than a typical hospital. A courtyard garden, five-story atrium, and green roofs showcase the hospital’s innovative and sustainable design features. The Otak owner’s representative team led project delivery to maximize efficiency in the completion and future operations of the prominent healthcare facility.
A school bond in the Pacific Northwest was leveraged to incorporate various additions and upgrades of 29 schools with numerous other repairs throughout the remaining 41 facilities. These upgrades will include, but are not limited to, new roofs, window replacements, flooring, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and parking lots refurbishment.
Comprehensive Updates to the Second Largest School District in Oregon
The major projects include adding additional capacity to support enrollment and educational programs, increasing seismic safety as well as the safety and security systems. Those improvements will upgrade technology in a number of areas while also updating facilities to reach ADA standards. As owner’s representative, Otak provided program management services for the Salem- Keizer School District construction projects funded by a bond levy that was passed. Salem-Keizer School District is the second largest district in Oregon with over 40,000 students and 5,000 employees.
The State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIF) Salem Campus’s multi-site renovation focused on improving efficiency in office layout, seismic updates, flood control, and created an inviting space for the community of Salem. The design upgrades allow for a significant reduction in utility cost, which will allow SAIF to reallocate money from utility costs to pay off the building at a faster rate.
Delivering an Efficient Design for a Non-Profit and Hands-On Experience for Students
Along with serving as owner’s representative in updating this non-profit facility, Otak also utilized the opportunity to provide a learning experience for young professionals in the field. In line with a commitment to community enrichment and involvement, the engaged Oregon State University engineering students in this project. By asking them to respond to a request for proposal, the activity helped them prepare for an upcoming Associated Schools of Construction competition. It also offered them an opportunity for hands-on experience in the construction industry.
The Reynolds School District’s bond program used green building design to create healthier, more sustainable schools and save money in the process. A diverse group of stakeholders were brought together to provide dynamic sustainable strategies for multiple sites focused on water efficiency, energy, materials, indoor environmental quality, and wellness features. In addition to seismic and safety upgrades, the bond also placed the Reynolds School District in a pilot for the Green Technology Alternative – only the third such project statewide.
Maximizing Bond Dollars to Develop A More Sustainable School District
The $125-million bond included the total replacement of Fairview, Troutdale, and Wilkes Elementary Schools, as well as repair and renovation of Reynolds High School. High School renovations included adding classrooms, connecting all outbuildings to the main school, relocating student support services to the front entry, and expansion of the cafeteria and commons area. Secure, controlled access entrances, as well as exterior lighting and security cameras were added at all schools. The design also aimed to support better learning by providing more daylight and fresh air to help mitigate common health issues that have been attributed to unhealthy indoor environmental quality. Otak served as owner’s representative and bond program manager while also working with a trusted subconsultant to provide energy modeling analysis and feasibility studies to maximize the District’s return on investment. The incentives of these green energy measures resulted in approximately $400,000 in energy credits back to the district.
Otak carried forward a project at the 60% design phase at the site of the old Boise Cascade Mill on Pringle Creek in Salem, Oregon. Otak designed a new stream channel through this urban reach to restore a more natural stream condition and improve fish passage. We also provided large wood structures for habitat, performed restoration design calculations for bed gradation and channel geometry, and developed construction plans for the site.
Resolving Stream Issues and Fish Passage Constraints
The project was punctuated by a restricted design schedule. Otak moved quickly and used available data to begin design while additional field data was being collected. Through frequent communication with the City of Salem, Otak was able to efficiently deliver a design that met the City’s needs and within the restricted design time frame.
As one of only three deep draft terminals on the Oregon coast, The Port of Newport rebuilt its International Terminal with the goal of protecting aquatic habitat and improving water quality in Yaquina Bay. Before rebuilding the terminal, the project first focused on site cleanup and remediation, including two World War II concrete cargo vessels that were loaded with bunker fuel, asbestos, oil, and gravel.
Managing Cleanup and Remediation of a Brownfield to Improve an Important Port of International Commerce
As a brownfield site, close coordination was carried out between the Oregon Coast Alliance, Department of Environmental Quality, US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Port of Newport to provide careful and thorough cleanup and remediation. The new terminal serves as a significant port for international commerce. This project received the National Phoenix Award in 2011, which represents excellence in brownfield replacement projects. The rebuilt terminal includes two docks, warehouse space, and administrative offices. Otak served as owner’s representative on this $26 million project, developing and managing budget and schedule, coordinating with the architecture/engineering team and overseeing contract management, and selecting the construction manager/general contractor.
In applying a vision for a new medical center that reflects their mission, PeaceHealth aimed to incorporate an environmentally friendly design across a 160-acre site. The resulting 1.8 million-square-foot facility would make the Sacred Heart facility 2006’s largest construction project in the state of Oregon.
A Sustainable Medical Center Design that Reflects a Mission in Healthcare
The complete medical center houses the Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute including a 432-bed hospital complex that features a 1.2-million-square-foot acute care tower, and two parking structures with more than 1,000 spaces. Two 120,000-square-foot medical office buildings, connected to the main building via skybridges, contain the Northwest Specialty Clinic and the RiverBend Pavillion. With sustainability and environmentally friendly design a large focus, the facility features seven rooftop gardens to provide greenscapes and reduce the amount of runoff entering the city stormwater system. The project also included an innovative, chemical-free cooling water treatment system; natural daylight throughout the facility; and eco-friendly materials. As owner’s representative, Otak worked across the project disciplines to implement sustainability measures like protecting salmon-safe streams throughout construction, preserving 86% of the Douglas Fir groves, and creating a sustainable stormwater facility to protect the groundwater supply.
