SUSTAINABILITY IN DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ELECTRICAL UPGRADES
As part of the deferred maintenance electrical upgrades, Lane will be replacing paper towel dispensers with electric hand dryers in several bathrooms. This upgrade will reduce the amount of trash that Lane sends to the landfill by up to 20 percent and will reduce the college's carbon footprint. One example of how this upgrade decreases the college's carbon footprint is elimination of all the diesel-fueled transportation that it takes to get the paper towels to campus. The college also anticipates saving about $100,000 per year in paper towel costs, waste disposal fees, and improvements in efficiency. More information on the costs of operating electric hand dryers vs. paper towel dispensers is available at www.lanecc.edu/sustainability/documents/handdryer.pdf. Contact Jennifer Hayward at (541) 463-5594.

Extensive safety training for new employees is being provided.

A construction fence was erected west of building 4 in preparation for ADA ramp improvements.

Remodels continue on building 4 lower restrooms.

Materials and supplies are being ordered. Since many suppliers are not currently stocking much inventory, the lead times on materials and supplies seem to be longer than anticipated.

Construction drawings and specifications are being processed through the Lane County Planning department for building permits.

For more information contact Facilities Director David L. Willis, (541) 463-5566.

BIDS DUE; HANDS-ON WORK TO BEGIN IN LATE APRIL
All design packages were completed on schedule and delivered to Lane Community College on Monday, April 6. Pre-bid meetings were held with all contractors on all of the projects. Approximately 55 contractors participated in the pre-bid meetings with another 10 to 15 contractors contacted to bid on smaller portions of the work.

It is the college’s intent to spread out the work, and create as many jobs as possible as quickly as possible while meeting extremely aggressive schedule constraints.

Bids are due Wednesday, April 15. All projects will be awarded as quickly as possible. Hands-on construction work will begin on all projects in April. In addition, Facilities, Management and Planning staff continue to work extremely long hours to directly hire 50-plus deferred maintenance project employees.

Materials are now beginning to be ordered. It appears that some of the lead times may be a challenge since many suppliers have very lean inventories.

Once contractors and employees are hired, parking challenges will become more pronounced on main campus. Facilities, Management and Planning staff are working to come up with parking alternatives.

The Deferred Maintenance Leadership Team will review the budgets and project costs once all the bids are turned in. For more information contact Dave Willis at (541) 463-5566.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS INCLUDED IN DEFERRED MAINTENANCE WORK
Many of the projects that Lane Community College is doing as part of the Go Oregon stimulus plan will improve campus sustainability. One such project is the installation of building-level electricity, water and natural gas submeters. Submetering will help Facilities Management and Planning to better target and track energy and water conservation efforts. The submetering also will contribute to student learning in Lane's Energy Management and Water Conservation degree programs. For more information contact Anna Scott at (541) 463-5805.

March 20, 2009
Beginning Sunday, March 22, 2009, a portion of parking lot "N" on Lane's main campus will be use for deferred maintenance activities and will not be available for parking. Please see the site plans showing the parking spaces that will be affected:

GO OREGON DEFERRED MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Facilities Management and Planning staff continue to work almost exclusively on deferred maintenance Go Oregon stimulus funded projects. Nine engineering and architectural firms were hired to design various project scopes for permitting and coordination purposes. These designs will be completed for initial bidding on April 3. Many contractors and suppliers submitted templates with information to become qualified to participate during the bidding process. Bids on all work will be acquired April 6-10. All contracts should be awarded April 13-24. A fenced projects staging area will be set up in parking lot N during spring break. Project work has started and will pick up steam in April and May. Contact: Dave Willis, (541) 463-5566.

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE: GO OREGON PROJECTS UPDATE
Architectural and engineering firms will be hired this week to complete an expedited design process on projects that need drawings and specifications generated to get quotes from contractors and building permits through the Lane County planning department. Many new Lane project employees will be hired by Facilities, Management and Planning over the next six weeks in support of the Go Oregon deferred maintenance projects. In addition, many contractors' employees will be employed on the Go Oregon deferred maintenance projects to begin work at Lane Community College in April. All Go Oregon deferred maintenance project employee postings will be re-posted this week to allow a second opportunity for eligible Lane employees to apply as internal candidates. The hiring and planning process will take the majority of FMP's office staff resources for the next six weeks. A storage staging area will be set up just north of building 7 in parking lot N. Lynn Atkins is coordinating the installation of 10 steel containers, a fence, lighting, and a security camera system. FMP staff, Human Resources staff, and Purchasing staff will be extremely busy supporting this effort to meet the Go Oregon stimulus package timelines. All new project employees must be hired and all contractor contracts fully executed by the end of April. We thank you for your understanding and consideration during the next six weeks as we focus on the Go Oregon deferred maintenance stimulus campaign. Contact: Dave Willis, willisd@lanecc.edu

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE UPDATE: HIRING UNDERWAY, WEB PAGE UP
Preparation work is well underway for deferred maintenance projects to be funded by $8 million in state stimulus funds. Many postings for jobs related to this work are available online at https://jobs.lanecc.edu. As of February 26, more than 350 people had applied for these postings. Hiring committees are working hard to prepare and interview candidates. Up to 25 positions should be filled by the middle of April.

A temporary project shop/supplies staging area will be set up in parking lot N, close to building 7.

Contractors and suppliers are encouraged to visit the new deferred maintenance web page at www.lanecc.edu/facilities/dm to fill out a template and e-mail it to deferredmaintenance@lanecc.edu by the end of the day on March 13 to be considered for deferred maintenance project work. Invitations to architects and design firms are being distributed and posted on the same web page.

A Deferred Maintenance Leadership Team, including Facilities, Management and Planning staff, instructional deans, and executive level administrators, is meeting weekly to plan and organize this effort. Many thanks to everyone working on this very important project. For more information, contact Dave Willis at willisd@lanecc.edu or (541) 463-5566.
