The GAPSC project team is also exploring a Path to Net Zero through energy efficiency or renewable measures by meeting the Architecture 2030 Challenge targets adopted by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The purpose of this meeting was to determine if the project can achieve at least 5% energy savings beyond applicable Oregon energy code requirements. June 2022 | The City of Phoenix, Oregon Government and Public Safety Center (GAPSC) project team recently completed an early design assistance meeting with the Energy Trust of Oregon. The budget shortfall of $2,123,985 remains a challenge, however, staff is working on grants and revenue streams to overcome this challenge. On going collaboration with the city officials and Adroit resulted in the 2nd Street paving being done in April 2023 to avoid damage to new pavement, and retaining wall heights were reduced that simplified construction and saved money. The project design is advancing on schedule and the team completed the site development bidding milestone. Site development bids will be evaluated and a GMP amendment will be adopted.A 100% DD revised budget will be completed.The 2nd Street underground work will be completed in conjunction with site development with paving scheduled for April 2023 to mitigate damage that may occur during mobilization of heavy equipment and truck traffic. The Design Team and RH2 coordinated the site development work with the 2nd Street paving project. The Design Team has begun this work, and it will ultimately identify the ETO grants for which the project qualifies. The Energy Trust of Oregon (ETO) confirmed that Energy Modeling for the project will be covered by as a reimbursable expense. The 100% DD cost estimates prepared by Adroit and Construction Focus were reconciled and several potential cost savings items were identified. The plans for site development work were approved by planning. FFE is the process of identifying needs, evaluating, and procuring necessary furniture, fixtures, and equipment to outfit the building. Finish samples will be presented in the upcoming weeks.Ĭity Hall, Police, and Fire Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment (FFE) user groups meetings were scheduled for September. Renderings were presented using this information to confirm the direction of the design. Preliminary Interiors discussions were held with each user group and basic design direction was confirmed. While collaborating on the site work, the design team was able to adjust the site elevation which resulted in reduced retaining walls heights. When complete, the site will be resilient to weather and prepped to begin foundation work. This work package prepares the site for construction of the building. The site development package was issued for bid. The design team continued to collaborate with City Hall, Police, and Fire user groups to make operational refinements and improvements.
