OAC is providing project management services including value engineering (VE) and constructability review (CR) for a new $14 million state
park on Camano Island. Nine new buildings will be constructed, including a retreat lodge, a commons building, and a bathhouse. New
utilities will include roads and water systems with a septic waste pump to carry wastewater 1.5 miles and 150 feet in elevation to a
drainfield. In addition, 41 historically significant structures, including twenty-four 14’ x 32’ cabins, five larger cabins, and five bungalows, all dating to the 1920s must be relocated and refurbished in accordance with requirements of the National Register of Historic Places. The retreat lodge was designed by Leavengood Architects, the commons and the bathhouse were both designed by Miller-Hull Architects, and the refurbishing and redesign of the cabins was provided by Merritt + Pardini Architects. Parametrix Engineering has provided civil engineering for all of the site work and utility infrastructure on the project. Because the design for each of the new facilities was completed by different architectural firms, OAC must review three separate sets of plans and specifications from an individual standpoint as well as how they fit together in the context of the site civil design. OAC’s constructability review staff is applying their design, estimating, bidding, and in-the field contracting experience to confirm design and plan specifications are consistent and clear. This will help the project get better bid pricing and help minimize change requests during construction. Minimizing changes will be especially important, as the site is also a Native American burial ground. The Tulalip tribe is working with an archaeological consultant to survey the site in order to locate artifacts before construction commences. The survey applies only to areas to be excavated for utility trenching and will leave all other underground areas undisturbed. Construction is estimated to be complete in Spring 2006. |
