Project Description: This project is located in the City of Puyallup, Pierce County. The project is a studentfunded Certificate of Participation (COP) authorized by the Legislature in the 2004 legislative session and
reauthorized in 2005. The purpose of this project is to construct a student recreation and health education center.
The center is constructed on two levels and comprises instructional space, exercise space, locker rooms,
reception/lobby area, administrative offices, laundry, storage and related custodial, mechanical and electrical
spaces.
Square feet: 16,636 GSF
Scope changes: Due to funding limitations and construction cost escalation, the original project design intent
could not be met. Project plans reflect a reduction from the initial design, including the elimination of a
gymnasium.

Project Status and discussion of Critical Path for Construction: This project was delayed due to issues
related to the COP debt repayment schedule as approved by the State Treasurer’s Office. Total COP funding
availability was more restrictive than originally envisioned and required building redesign in order to fall within
funding limits. The project was successfully bid completed. All critical path milestones were met during
construction.

Contract Award History
The original architect agreement was reduced to the actual amount spent of $270,319, and closed out when the
project was discontinued due to inability to fund the project as designed. A smaller funding amount was
established, and the project was re-initiated with a reduced scope and revised program. The current architect
agreement is described in the table below:

Discussion of Project Quality: The design phase of the project was executed effectively. The College’s leadership
team and internal constituencies, particularly student leaders, have been engaged in planning throughout the design
process. The firms of MSGS Architects and Opsis Architects were selected to design and oversee construction of
this project. Both firms have considerable experience working with the College and have developed good working
relationships with College personnel. Value engineering and constructability review were incorporated early in the
design phase to benefit quality control and project viability. The College’s infrastructure planning team composed
of representatives from Facilities, Institutional Technology, AV/Media, Safety/Security, Purchasing and our Access
and Disability Services Office has also played a key role in design. The general contractor, Kassel Construction,
has proven to be a very capable contractor and managed the construction phase effectively. The project was
completed ahead of schedule and well within budget.
