In January 2019 the Oregeon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) became aware of a building for sale along the I-5 corridor in Wilsonvillethat has turned out to be an ideal location and size for the DAS to achieve their vision of bringing multiple state agencies under one roof. Working through existing State contracts, SERA was hired to perform a due diligence study and subsequently building opportunity studies for various tenants. After the purchase of the building, Otak/DAY CPM was brought in as the Owner’s Representative and SERA has been retained to continue design based on the earlier studies.
The 175,000 SF building housed a Microsoft manufacturing facility with an office/warehouse that sat on a 425,146 SF (9.76 acres) lot in a Planned Development Industrial Zone. After performing a due diligence study and building utilization exercise the state purchased the building in December of 2019 with the support of the Legislature and the Capital Projects Advisory Board.
Since the purchase, the state, working with Otak/DAY CPM and SERA has been focusing on establishing a holistic “One State” vision for the building that would be a collaboration between state agencies that perform regulation and inspection functions and reduce the amount spent on maintenance requirements in having offices housed in several buildings in and around Portland.
The project mission driving the design is to: “Enhance the DAS property portfolio with the adaptive reuse of space for the State’s tenants in a “One State” collaborative environment using sustainable construction and operations techniques including provisions to support critical services response”. The intent is to create synergies between tenant needs and shared resources such as laboratories, security systems, and electrical facilities.
Tenants and activities to be included are the:
Department of Agriculture for testing animal and plant health including entomology, metrology, and other regulatory services provided by the agency.
OSHA
Department of Administrative Services Operations and Maintenance
Flexible space for Emergency Response.
Oregon State Police for long term evidence storage
While early design plans were being formatted, the arrival of COVID gave the building a new temporary function which supported the business case for the building purchase. The facility was converted into a home for Emergency Response Teams and included office space for 400 temporary employees in a call center. Accommodating emergency response efforts and providing temporary workspace is a function that the building will be able to provide in the future as well. This use and the corresponding response is one example of the flexibility that this building/project will provide DAS.
Vancouver, Washington has been undertaking a full-scale renovation of its downtown over the past several years. The goal is to restore the area to a desirable riverfront community for visitors, residents, and businesses. The cornerstone of the City of Vancouver’s efforts is to make Vancouver a destination on the west coast; the area known as The Waterfront Vancouver. This is where Otak’s Portland, OR office has been working over the past few years.
Otak was contracted by Kirkland Development to provide comprehensive planning and design services for the Hotel Indigo and Kirkland Tower mixed-use project. Construction includes 10,000 square feet of retail, 7,700 square feet of restaurant space including the signature steakhouse El Gaucho, the boutique-style Hotel Indigo, and a luxury condominium building called Kirkland Tower. The hotel and tower are the sixth and seventh buildings to rise in the overall master plan.
Brian Fleener is the principal in charge for Otak, working alongside senior designer Gary Larson, director of design Gary Reddick, and project architects Michael Payne and Wayne Yoshimura. After three years of design and planning, Kirkland Development broke ground on the property in June 2018 and the project should be completed this winter.
The “Kirkland Tower,” a twelve-story luxury condominium building, will feature sweeping views of the Columbia River from its one, two, or three-bedroom units that have access to the amenities of the Hotel Indigo. Amenities include maid and turn down service, valet parking, and room service. The Kirkland Tower will also feature a rooftop health club and a rooftop lounge with a chef’s kitchen for entertaining guests. There will be 40 units overall. On the eighth floor, there will be a modern bar and the ninth floor includes a roof terrace.
The eight-story, 138-room Hotel Indigo will adhere to the hotel chain’s signature brand that promises no two of its properties are alike as they reflect the neighborhoods in which they sit. This property will take advantage of river views with a glass curtain wall and an expansive terrace. A large conference space will spill out into an 8-story atrium. Amenities will include concierge services, valet, food delivery, dry cleaning, and a dog-washing station.
“This is a terrific example of quality placemaking that is a focus of Otak and further illustrated by other projects we have on the drawing board,” Reddick said.
The project was not without challenges that mostly stemmed from its location, on the river, and on a flight path. “So many agencies get involved.” Reddick continued. “To get through that and realize something is actually coming out of the ground is amazing.”
Fleener explained that special permission was needed to keep the cranes up over the winter when planes were flying from a nearby airport. Building a 2-level, below-grade stacker parking deck next to the Columbia River mandated the use of an intricate sheet pile and concrete cofferdam-like structure to keep the water out. To add to that, the construction was shut down in Washington during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The team overcame the challenges and are excited to see the project completed and another step of the rebirth of Vancouver realized. The south-facing site featuring a restaurant with a wall of windows, and the outside decks on the buildings, will be the perfect place to sit in the sun and be out by the water,” Fleener said.
The Survey Group at Otak, Inc. has been working as one of the consultants under the 2017 On-Call Survey Contract with the City of Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT). In this role, Otak provides land and hydrographic surveying, laser scanning, mapping, and construction staking services. As projects come up, they are assigned to the next consultant on the roll call; unless specific technology or skills are required, and a specific consultant is the only one with the capabilities.
Most recently, the Otak team has provided mapping along SW 4th Avenue from Lincoln to Burnside in downtown Portland, for a grind and inlay pavement project to rehab the pavement and for planned pedestrian improvements. The City will also be putting in a left-running protected bikeway, signalized pedestrian crossings, and upgraded ADA corner ramps. Otak provided mapping of the existing conditions, including roadway, utilities, building fronts, sidewalk, trees, etc. and resolved the rights of way.
This past spring, Otak also completed a topographic survey of a plot in St. Johns for an alternative shelter and performed a boundary survey to clearly identify property limits and any encroachments by neighboring properties. This is a piece of land where the city and Multnomah County’s Joint Office of Homeless Services is working with Do Good Multnomah to establish a transitional shelter for twenty small homes. Sue Tsoi, Otak Project Surveyor, finds this type of work to be rewarding, stating that “it may be a small project, but it is important community work and it feels good to be a part of it.”
Additionally, Otak subcontracts to partners like D&H Flagging for traffic control, and APS Locating Inc. for private utility location.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation has an aspirational goal to use 20% minority, women, and emerging small businesses. Otak works toward this goal when opportunities arise on projects.
While the return of students to classrooms across the country this fall is in a state of flux due to the pandemic and COVID19, school districts across the region have been moving forward with construction and renovation projects supported by voter-approved bonds. One such project in Oregon City is the Ogden Middle School remodel and expansion which broke ground in March and is slated to be completed in time for the 2021/2022 school year.
Otak has been the owner’s representative for the Oregon City School District, providing bond oversight and guiding the 34 million dollar renovation of Ogden Middle School. Stephen Wasserberger, bond manager and senior project manager, and Tracy Goodman, PM CM, have been working with district leaders, including Superintendent Larry Didway, project architects and general contractors since early 2019 to ensure the newly envisioned middle schools will satisfy the vision set forth by the district and the community.
The passage of the bond at the end of 2018 “presented a generational opportunity for the district to invest in the future and to reimagine the way middle school students are taught,” Stephen stated, adding that “it has been exciting to be a part of such a significant project in our community.” The DAY CPM team is providing budget oversight, managing the scope of the project and the schedule, acting as a liaison between the design team and the owner, and orchestrating the complex logistics inherent with moving classrooms. They have been involved every step of the way, initially advising the district with pre-bond services to both meet the vision and allow for contingencies.
During the design phase, in January of 2019, Stephen and Tracy, along with the team of designers, Superintendent Didway, and other school officials and teachers visited six schools in San Diego. The targeted schools are on the cutting edge of public education and are setting the example for the rest of the country with their successful implementation of design-thinking method, which is student-centered, project-based learning. The new Ogden Middle School design will incorporate much of what these leading schools have set as the new standard and it will become an example for other schools in the region to follow.
Oregon City Middle School students also participated in the design phase and were able to share their own needs and goals, as well as their anxieties and concerns. “Involving the kids was a crucial decision and instrumental to the overall design,” Stephen said. For example, “we learned how important a connection to the outside and nature is to their positive school experience.” The newly renovated school will include ample natural light and connections to the outdoors.
The bond project includes two middle schools. In addition to the remodel of Ogden Middle School, the project is replacing Gardiner Middle School with a new state of the art 78 million dollar facility. Originally the two projects were going to be staggered, but to keep costs down, minimize disruption to the teachers and students, and better meets the goals of the District, the two projects have moved forward in tandem. This work is also focused on move-management – taking everything out of the classrooms to a staging area in the gym, then moving everything into modular units, and finally back to the new classrooms.
The owner’s representative team is also overseeing the procurement of all the furniture, fixtures and equipment for both schools, based on the architect’s specs and a “furniture fair” the team held to get feedback from teachers and students. As Stephen points out, “the district is really making an effort to support the teachers and help them be successful in the new schools.” To that end, a life-size, 3-D mock-up of a learning neighborhood was built in the old high school gym. The furniture fair was held in the model neighborhood, where teachers and students were able to try out the furniture and also become more accustomed to the new classroom setting.
Both schools are projected to be completed in time for the fall of 2021, and teachers will be able to move into their new classrooms in August 2021. They will have a full month to get set-up, acclimate to the new space, and learn how to function and teach in the new classrooms.
Otak, working as a sub-consultant to HNTB Corporation, is providing design and engineering services on an ambitious project for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to renovate or replace up to 450 culverts and restore safe fish passages throughout the state’s Northwest Region. The project is in response to a mandate by the federal government. The current goal is to complete 450 culverts in two phases, the first phase is to complete Preliminary Hydraulic Designs (PHDs) for all the culverts within the next three years, and to complete the final designs and construction within the next ten years.
In 2018, native tribes in Washington won a lawsuit against the state for allowing construction of more than 2000 culverts across State roads that, according to the lawsuit, diminished the number of spawning fish below the amount that was assured to be protected in the Treaty between the State and the Tribes. The culverts were constructed decades ago when the science on fish migration was preliminary so while the state, offices of WSDOT, Fish and Wildlife and Parks, complied with state and federal guidelines for the construction at the time, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the tribes that the culverts were now acting as barriers. The court concluded that 2,000 culverts must be listed as a high priority and corrected by 2030.
Otak was one of the firms chosen to work on the HNTB team because it is one of few engineering firms with the breadth of skills to be able to perform this work and has the capacity to get the job done quickly. The Otak team is being led by Russ Gaston, Principal and Project Manager. Otak’s Stream Design Engineers are playing a crucial role in the hydrologic design that must meet the project’s criteria and be in compliance with state and federal regulations. In addition, Otak is applying its experience with MicroStation, the CAD software WSDOT uses and is a unique skill among engineering firms.
Otak has initiated scoping on to complete PHDs for ten of the fish passage culverts, to have them completed within three months after WSDOT provides surveys of each location. The team will determine if a more efficiently designed culvert, a bridge, or natural streaming will be the best solution at each location. The culverts, generally placed under roadways, need to allow a flow of water that isn’t too fast or too shallow or results in a waterfall at either end.
“The job is not simply to replace culverts but to look at alternatives such as avoiding passage near a road, using bridges, or adding water passages that mimic natural streams,” Gaston states. Otak’s Stream Design Engineers are conducting a preliminary hydrologic design report to examine the movement of water and overall watershed sustainability to determine the best way forward for each culvert. Each Fish Barrier Culvert replacement is estimated to have a design cost of around $400,000.
Miller Creek Daylighting Project Restores Life to Vacant Land Near SeaTac Airport
The City of Burien, Washington, in financial partnership with the Port of Seattle Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac airport), the City of Seatac, and Washington Department of Ecology awarded a contract to Otak to design a restoration plan for a 162-acre subarea of vacant, residential, and commercial land adjacent to the SeaTac airport. The project, known as Miller Creek Daylighting for the waterway that flows through property owned by the Port within the Cities of Burien and Seatac city limits, is scheduled to begin construction in 2021, following the Port of Seattle Commission’s approval of Otak’s plan. Otak is currently under contract to finalize the design, work with regulatory agencies, and provide construction management.
The property had several problems to address. It is in the flight path of the airport’s third runway, has degenerated over the years, and attracted activities that were considered a public safety concern. Miller Creek that crosses the property, flows through open stream, as well as through underground pipes and tunnels that have eroded and at one time caused a sinkhole. Stormwater runoff from an adjacent highly developed property is also destroying the natural habitat.
The first step was for Otak to evaluate the property for alternative uses that would be compatible with the airport and remain a tax revenue source for the city. The property use itself had to be considered along with stormwater management. Russ Gaston was brought in as the principal in charge to develop a top-down approach of how to work within the floodplain and stream buffers to correct stormwater management issues, and also create trails and recreation.
Otak’s role in the project was extensive, encompassing land use and conceptual master planning as well as capital facilities and infrastructure planning. Public outreach and participation were part of the design process, along with working through regulatory guidelines. Otak managed the development of the Supplemental EIS and provided technical analysis, and developed a master drainage plan, land use plan, and identified fish barriers for removal. The City also asked for improvements to roads, stormwater, and utilities, and then hired a lobbyist to work with the FAA to start a pilot program for redevelopment of the area.
In developing alternative plans, Otak was able to devise a way to daylight Miller Creek, taking a significant reach of the stream from flowing almost completely through a pipe network to bringing it up to ground level as a natural feature. This design brought an extended contract that also includes building a floodplain trailhead and trail that connect the Miller creek floodplain, an area that did not previously exist.
In addition to daylighting the stream, Otak also was able to include a fish passage in its design creating additional salmon spawning habitat along Miller Creek and working towards the goals of restoring the Puget Sound Watershed.
The final design also integrates with three regional stormwater infiltration facilities, a constructed floodplain wetland, and dispersed green stormwater treatment facilities, a new regional trail along the Miller Creek corridor, and public open space. The newly constructed green stormwater facilities will treat and infiltrate stormwater runoff from approximately 50 acres including runoff from seven acres of existing streets and 43 acres of future redevelopment of impervious areas. The plan allows for simulating the natural hydrology of the area through the addition of rain gardens, biofiltration, and the creation of wetlands that enhance habitat and a wildlife corridor.
Through the design process and as work proceeds, Otak will be working in partnership with multiple 3rd party agencies including the Port of Seattle, SeaTac airport, the City of Seatac, the FAA, WA Department of Ecology, and the City of Burien.
Otak has recently completed the design and structural and civil engineering work on the Pringle Creek Demolition and Stream Restoration project in Salem, Oregon. The project is just one of several that continue to advance the City’s vision, which has been on-going since the 1980s, to turn its waterfront from previous industrial use to public space and an area for economic redevelopment.
The City of Salem hired Otak to complete design on the project within a short timeframe. Otak relied on many of its skilled employees to complete the required work including Kevin Timmins, PE – Principal; Scott Nettleton, PE – Structural Lead; Greg Mines, PE – Structural Engineering; Nick Cook, EI, PhD – Stream Reconstruction Design; Gary Wolff, PE, D.WRE – Hydraulic Modeling; Scott Banker, RLA, CESCL – Construction Observation; and Mandy Flett – Construction Assistant. Suulutaaq Inc. won the construction bid and performed well as the Prime Contractor on a challenging site.
The site of this project had been home to a mill, most recently a paper mill, for more than 100 years. After the mill closed the City partnered with the owner to have the building removed. Removing the building was fairly straightforward. The challenge was to demolish the building’s substructure that sat within the 100-year floodplain of the Willamette River in the waterway known as Pringle Creek and then reconstruct the creek to a more naturally functioning stream for fish passage.
Sequencing plans were prepared to incrementally remove the building, construct the embankment, and maintain a stable wall configuration during and after construction. A carefully crafted staging plan for demolition and stream reconstruction was required to maintain the existing fish ladder, convey stream flows through the site, and protect the stream from sediment and falling demolition debris.
Otak used ground-penetrating radar to scan the old concrete for the presence of rebar reinforcement and then designed an embankment fill to buttress the remaining wall and, once graded, to provide a location for a future trail connection and space to incorporate urban furnishings and fixtures.
Otak was originally contracted to provide riprap stabilization of Pringle Creek, however, hydraulic conditions made riprap a questionable solution, as the use of riprap was found to require as much effort and expense as reconstructing the stream. The team needed to engineer and construct a natural feature to make it look like it had always been there. A combination of large boulders, trees with root wads intact, riparian plantings, and channel topography were introduced to create habitat complexity and hydraulic diversity to provide fish passage, and access to the remaining 15-square miles of the Pringle Creek Watershed for migratory salmon.
The size and scope of the project necessitated coordination among several firms including
Pacific Habitat Services who was key in obtaining environmental permits, and Geo Design Inc. who assisted with the management of contaminated soils. The prime contractor relied on two key subcontractors; Cascade Shoring and Abiqua Landscape.
While the goal of the project was to remove a run-down and unsafe structure over the stream, the end result was improved water quality, increased fish passage, and a desirable gateway and future multi-use trail connection between downtown Salem and Riverfront Park. Otak looks forward to an opportunity to help complete the associated trail project in the future, and to continue it’s working relationship with the City of Salem.
Together with national developer Wishcamper, Otak has been instrumental in the design and approval of the ambitious South Cooper Mountain Main Street project in Beaverton, which is set to begin construction in the summer of 2021. The mixed-use development project will encompass affordable housing, as well as commercial and civic space, across ten acres adjacent to Mountainside High School in the heart of the South Cooper Mountain community.
Wishcamper, traditionally known for its work in affordable housing, recognized a unique opportunity to not only add affordable housing units to a high-density market-rate community but to also bring a community vision to life in the form of a dynamic mixed-use neighborhood center. The City of Beaverton’s goal is to provide the main street with a vibrant mix of neighborhood commercial and residential uses in a pedestrian-friendly environment that includes wide sidewalks with pedestrian amenities. Wishcamper embraced the vision and proactively worked with the city, enlisting Otak’s expertise and help to guide the project.
Otak has established a strong presence in affordable housing, mixed-use building, and community design and had been actively working on projects in the surrounding residential community for the past five years. Working collaboratively with Wishcamper and the City of Beaverton, Otak took a placemaking and multidisciplinary approach to satisfy the city’s community and zoning requirements, and Wishcamper’s affordable housing mandates, while also remaining sensitive to the natural environment and ecology of the site and ultimately how people would live in and use the space. As Ben Bortolazzo, Otak director of planning and design, points out, “this is not just another development project. It’s a place-making effort to create a vibrant community space; it’s an opportunity to provide vibrant spaces for the community to come together.”
Otak’s design for the South Cooper Mountain project includes 164 units of affordable housing, 30,000 sq feet of commercial space—office, daycare, café, and retail—potential civic use space, a public park, and a plaza. The park site is home to a number of large sequoia trees, which Otak was intent on preserving in the overall design, further reinforcing a sense of place with character and connection to the land. An underground parking garage is planned beneath an open-air plaza, which will also be home to a farmer’s market.
As the South Cooper Mountain project moves into the next phase of development, Wishcamper has enlisted Otak’s expertise on two upcoming projects, one next to the Main Street site and another in Woodburn, OR.
The Organic Act requires the National Park Service (NPS) to provide for the enjoyment of current and future generations. The NPS Social Science Program supports research to gain an understanding of dimensions of enjoyment and public appreciation through the study of humans and their interactions with NPS services, sites and facilities. An interdisciplinary team led by Otak, Inc. was recently awarded a nationwide contract with the NPS Social Science Program to provide visitor surveys, visitor use and transportation studies, and other socioeconomic research and analytic task orders that will assist parks with ongoing planning and management to serve visitors’ needs. With key partners RRC Associates of Boulder, CO, and the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research (ITRR) in the College of Forestry and Conservation at the University of Montana, along with multiple other subcontracting partners, the team will be on-call to the NPS for the next five years to a maximum contract level of $40 million.
“Our team is honored and excited to be selected to support the NPS in its ongoing mission to preserve the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations,” said Mandi Roberts. Mandi will serve as the overall contract manager for the team, and she brings a strong commitment to stewardship and supporting America’s treasured National Park System, with more than 20 years of working with the NPS on a wide variety of task orders across the US. “One of our first assignments under this new contract will be conducting a visitor survey for Zion National Park, where I have worked on previous transportation-related studies. Zion continues to experience heavy visitor use, particularly related to the popular shuttle through Zion Canyon. The results of the visitor survey work at Zion will help inform core issues of visitor use management, management solutions, and to develop a current and deeper understanding of who visits Zion National Park, what they do during their visit, and their spending profile.”
Otak, RRC, ITRR and our other team members bring unique qualifications and strengths including management of NPS task orders and completion of tourism and recreation research across the country for decades. According to Jeremy Sage, ITRR Associate Director, “This contract is an opportunity to assist the NPS with a variety of issues, such as addressing crowding and congestion to improve visitor experience and access; helping to identify staffing needs and management strategies; and quantifying the positive economic impacts the parks have on local economies. We are excited to work with this stellar team to bring new and creative research methods and analyses.”
These creative approaches will be applied for task orders under a variety of project types:
Understanding in-park visitor use to allow land managers to make better decisions on visitor experiences and the protection of resources.
Investigating personnel and partner studies of internal agency and department issues from federal staff comprised within and with partners.
Assessing regional economic impact and economic welfare studies that include cost/benefit and regulatory flexibility analyses, willingness to pay and visitor spending profile estimates.
Studying recreation, transportation and carrying capacity issues including visitor movement, travel pattern studies, visitor use level estimation and evaluations of conditions with how they change over time and under various use levels.
Conducting non-visitor studies to look at visitor displacement and awareness of people in gateway communities and regional stakeholders, and studies of potential future visitors to assist in future management decisions.
The trio of Otak, RRC, and ITRR worked together on a large visitor study to better understand the visitor experience given varying congestion levels at sites in Yellowstone National Park. “Our unique approach in Yellowstone of using geofence technology to better understand the visitor experience in real-time provided managers with broad decision-making capabilities not possible in past research. We’re thrilled to be able to continue assisting NPS units across the country protect their vital resources and continue providing high-quality experiences through innovative research.” said Jake Jorgenson, Lead Analyst of RRC Associates.“The NPS is excited to work with this extensive team of subject matter experts to inform the variety of socioeconomic and natural resource data and analytic needs for our parks and programs. This contract will significantly contribute to data-driven decision making across the bureau,” said Bret Meldrum, NPS Social Science Program Chief.
The five-year contract will be served through a collaborative approach between Otak, RRC, and ITRR, as well as team members around the country that include academic partners who lead research at the University of Montana’s College of Business, Department of Mathematics, and the W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation and other academic researchers from Utah State University, Oregon State University, University of Colorado, Kansas State University, University of Florida, University of Georgia, University of Maine, and Virginia Polytechnic University. Collaborative business partners nationwide include Bioeconomics and Global Parks Solutions both from Missoula, MT; NatureWerks, LLC from Minneapolis, MN; Agnew: Beck Consulting from Anchorage, AK; EPS from Oakland, CA; Fehr & Peers from offices throughout the US; New Line Consulting from Gallatin Gateway, MT; Evermost from Kirkland, WA; Industrial Economics from Cambridge, MA; Kirk Value Planners from Goodyear, AZ; OmniTrak Group from Honolulu, HA; NeoTreks from Castle Rock, CO; and L2 Data Collection from Boise, ID and Salt Lake City, UT.
For Otak, the NPS is a cornerstone client. “The culture and values of the NPS and those of our firm are closely aligned,” said Chad Weiser, Otak’s Federal Practice Leader, “through a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, we analyze, plan, and design the best solutions for each unique park setting. Our teams focus on being thorough, diligent, and responsive in serving the needs of the NPS, whether for research and studies or for design and construction.”

Otak Colorado has been selected by Boulder County Public Works to provide design services for the 120th Street Widening Design Project in Boulder County, Colorado. The 1.2 mile stretch of 120th Street, between Overlook Drive and Dillon Road, links the City of Lafayette with the City and County of Broomfield. The road is one of Boulder County’s original roads and has not been improved in decades.
Otak’s team, led by Christine (Chris) Bisio, P.E., Colorado Region Manager, will offer design alternatives and then prepare final design and construction documents to include through lanes, shoulders, and bicycle/pedestrian connections. The design will also highlight improvements to grades, sight distances, drainage facilities, and access to adjacent properties.
Commuter vehicle and industrial truck traffic are growing on the street and its narrow lanes, lack of shoulders, and impaired sightlines make street improvements critical. Otak plans to increase safety, create better traffic flow, and enhance connectivity.
The project, tentatively scheduled to be completed by September 2021, will add to Otak’s portfolio of civic projects and 25-year history serving Boulder County Public Works.
