City of Washougal SMAP Plan

The City of Washougal is advancing its commitment to protecting its natural environment and charting a clear path to implementing stormwater improvements in the Gibbons Creek Watershed. A Storm Stormwater Management Action Plan (SMAP) was developed to help meet those commitments as well as the City of Washougal’s NPDES Phase II permit requirements. In continuing this long-lasting relationship with the city, Otak also regularly assists with best practices for developing their GIS program for effective data infrastructure development, collection, and display to the community and internal staff.

Protecting a Watershed with a Stormwater Management Action Plan

The City of Washougal’s SMAP Plan for Gibbons Creek aims to help the City maintain compliance with its Phase II municipal stormwater permit and other surface water and groundwater quality regulations. In developing the action plan, GIS analysis was utilized along with data collected from the city. This included field visits to assess all receiving waters in the city limits and prioritizing a basin for stormwater retrofits. Utilizing GIS web mapping applications, this work also delivered effective communications for agency collaboration and public outreach on project progress.

Kronberg Park Multi-Use Walkway

The multi-phase Robert Kronberg Nature Park Master Plan involved the construction of a multi-use trail connecting the Kellogg Lake Bridge to the existing crossing of McLoughlin Blvd. at River Road and the regional Trolley Trail. For the portion of trail that runs through a forested area, an elevated structure was designed with an emphasis on minimizing disturbance to its natural surroundings. Otak led the design, including the elevated structure, as well as bidding, negotiation, construction, and inspection support to completion.

An Elevated Structure that Preserves the Environment and Promotes Active Transportation

In designing the 12-foot-wide structure, finding an alignment and construction method for the elevated section was done in close collaboration with the City to minimize the removal of existing trees. An illumination plan was prepared to be consistent with the Kellogg Lake pedestrian bridge. The Walkway provides a safe, off-road bicycle and pedestrian connection between the south side of the City of Milwaukie with downtown. The active transportation design means bicyclists, pedestrians and wheelchair users no longer need to travel on the shoulder or in the traffic lanes of McLoughlin Blvd. to access the full trail. The multi-use walkway is a combination of at grade pathway and 600 feet of bicycle/pedestrian elevated structure and includes an elevated combination viewpoint, acting as a rest stop midway along the corridor.

Coffee Creek Correctional Facility

Prior to forming DAY CPM, Mike Day provided CM/GC and complete construction administration services for this 1,684-bed, medium security women’s prison in Wilsonville, Oregon. The 425,000 square foot facility also houses the State of Oregon’s DMV call center. Site development of nearly 116 acres required extensive road infrastructure improvements, utility upgrades and a new water treatment facility for the City of Wilsonville. The women’s prison includes state-of-the-art computer security and system controls, a medical treatment center, inmate rehabilitation facilities, and a full-service commercial kitchen.

Salem Police Department

In May of 2017, a $79 million bond was passed to build a new facility to house the Salem Police Department. Otak CPM provided owner’s Representation services during design and construction of the new Salem Police facility and its adjacent parking zones. The 104,000 SF facility is built to current seismic requirements and features three stories, public and secure staff parking, and street frontage improvements. The new facility houses multiple police agencies in one location, improving efficiency and service to the community and allowing the department to grow.

Trios Health Southridge Medical Center

The comprehensive oversight and management of all facets of this expansion project led to the renovation and addition to Trios Health’s Kennewick Public Health Campus. The campus incorporated a new greenfield 74-bed replacement hospital which included the development of a 40-acre site and includes 175,000 SF of acute care facilities.

Complete Program Management to Expand and Renovate a Public Health Campus

The center offers diagnostic imaging, a retail pharmacy, laboratory, physical therapy, a medical infusion center, and other ambulatory services. Office space for support services to the hospital was included along with a coffee shop and central registration area. The Otak owner’s representative team involvement covered site development, land use development, permit and plan review, medical equipment and IT technology integration oversight, and overall program management services. In addition to the hospital, the team continued providing services for the Trios Health Southridge Care Center (MOB) that is connected to the campus’s Southridge Hospital and commissioned primarily for outpatient services and medical staff offices. The structure features seven floors of physician practices, outpatient services including physical therapy, a pharmacy, advanced diagnostic imaging, and infusion therapy.

Lake Oswego Library

Originally built in the 1980’s, the Lake Oswego Library was in need of renovations. On average, 900 visitors walk through the doors of the library each day and with Otak owner’s representative support on this project, these renovations encouraged more circulation within an improved facility.

Managing Renovations for a More Sustainable and Efficient Community Building

In bringing an updated version of this City landmark to the community, updates would be made to the Library’s main floor, lobby and staff workroom. The building underwent upgrades to update the functionality and ease of use of facilities for patrons and staff. The team coordinated and managed the renovations to all three departments within the staff workroom, storage space and the repairs to the concrete floors throughout the building, delivering a more sustainable and efficient building to the Lake Oswego community.

Oregon State Police Headquarters

In centralizing their operations, the Oregon State Police (OSP) aimed to consolidate all three Salem facilities into a single location, the Trelstad site. The Main Building at 80,000 SF, 2-stories high houses the OSP, the State Fire Marshal, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. A 24,000 SF facility holds the fleet facility, procurement and IT; it is accompanied by a small warehouse that is primarily utilized by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Coordinating A Seamless Facilities Transition for First Responders

The Otak owner’s representative team’s duties included assuring all phases of the move out/in were coordinated and had little impact on agency operations. We coordinated all aspects of the various move components and the project activities with the contractor, developer, vendors, moving companies, utilities, DAS, and other agencies were scheduled and carried out in the most efficient manner. The extensive knowledge and experience our team brought to this project was essential to meeting the needs of these departments, so that they can serve the community to their fullest potential.

Northwest Specialty Clinic

Northwest Specialty Clinic, a privately owned and operated facility, is located at the north end of the RiverBend campus. The five-story medical office building houses a full-service ambulatory surgical center, imaging center, in-house labs and five floors of private specialty care offices. The facility is linked to the hospital and the RiverBend Pavilion medical office building via two overhead, fully conditioned sky bridges.

Otak CPM provided a full array of owner representative services including program administration and oversight, budget, schedule and construction management, land use and building permitting oversight, and medical equipment procurement coordination.

The Children’s Center

A new 16,000 square-foot facility was designed as the new home of the Children’s Center which had previously operated in multiple locations over a 7-year period. The Children’s Center serves the community by providing quality mental health services to children and families of Clark County at the new Marilyn Moyer Building.

Managing Efficient Completion of a New Facility for Mental Health

The center sees more than 800 children each month for treatment of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and trauma. A lot of thought and input from counselors went into making the new space feel therapeutic, from the choice of wall colors and art to all the windows that let in natural light. A therapy garden was added to the property that features plants, benches and a fountain in hopes of giving the children an area to feel comfortable in. The parents and clients have agreed that the building feels clean, open, bright, quiet, and a more conductive environment for counseling. Serving as owner’s representative, Otak provided coordination between the architect, owner, and contractor while managing budget and schedule development, as well as contract management.

Fort Vancouver Community Library

This 83,000 square foot facility focused on community, early learning, technology, adult learning, teens, green building design, inspiration, creativity, and contemplation. Mike Day provided strategic project management with contract administration, program management services, AE coordination, multi-agency communication and management for this library project. The library achieved Gold certification.
