Project Site Backgrounds/Scopes:

SORCC, White City, OR – This facility was originally constructed in 1942 as a WWII training facility, but over the years has transformed into a multi-faceted medical facility with a wide range of services. One of the major factors identified in previous Facility Conditions Assessments is the inadequate seismic force-resistance of many structures on campus in accordance with current standards. The project includes new construction of B300 and B301, the renovation of B201, and associated demolition. The scopes of work will be covered under two (2) separate design-build construction acquisition packages. Package 1 is the primary construction package and captures the execution of significant portions of work in a single construction acquisition. Package 2 is the secondary construction package and captures the execution of the remaining portions of work.

VAPORHCS, Portland, OR – The site is an established large VA hospital with multiple facility structures. Information regarding Phase 3 of this project will be presented. Phase 3 will be the seismic retrofit of B100, B101 and B102, including interior renovation and modernization in accordance with the program for design (PFD), which is currently under revision. The Phase 3 work is not currently authorized and will be funded in a future year. Currently the estimated start date is in the decade of 2030.

RVAHCS, Roseburg, OR – The program currently includes two (2) phases and seven (7) interrelated projects. Phase 1: Construction of new medical facility, B100, and the re-alignment of associated utilities. Phase 2: Seismic Upgrade and Renovations of B2 and B1AC and Demolition of existing buildings. B2 is considered a historic building and involves a full renovation of the facility. B1AC scope only includes the first floor of the facility and segregating elevators from B1. Demo of existing Facilities Buildings 17, 57, 58, 60, 63, 84 and T15 to include associated site work, parking lot development and roadway realignments. The program year is TBD, no funding has been authorized.

DOD OTHR, Location TBD - The OTHR system will be located on two remote sites in the North-West United States and will provide long range early detection and tracking capability for low flying targets approaching the borders of North America. The two sites are located in areas with little or no utility infrastructure and outside commuting range of any metropolitan areas.  Construction on the sites will include earthwork to accommodate large antenna arrays, dining and lodging facilities to support personnel housed on-site, mission operations facilities, and power generation facilities.  The sites will require large amounts of earthwork and civil infrastructure development.
