Project Description: This project is located in the City of Puyallup, Pierce County. The project
involves construction of a facility to provide care and development opportunities for children of
lower-income students pursuing a post-secondary education. Most spaces in the program will be
reserved for children of Pierce College students with a specified number available to staff,
faculty and community.
The Child Development Center is funded as part of the Phase III Expansion of the Puyallup
College. This expansion project included construction of the College Center Building,
construction of a new parking area, installation of a traffic signal at the College’s main entrance,
construction of a second campus entrance and construction of the Child Development Center.
The Child Development Center and second campus entrance are the last components of the Phase
III Expansion project. The Child Center is located in general proximity to the new College Center
Building, is immediately adjacent to a large parking area and is accessible to other College
buildings. The facility includes modern learning and interactive spaces. Entry, drop-off and pickup areas, food preparation and outdoor classroom space are also incorporated. The facility is
designed to accommodate 65-70 children ranging in age from infant to 8 years. The building
incorporates sustainable design practices, has significant glazing for improved day lighting and
includes natural ventilation features.
The second campus entrance, the West Access Drive, is an approximate 3,800-foot access route
from the back part of the campus, along Bradley Lake Park in the City of Puyallup, to a public
arterial.

Scope changes: The project scope has been increased in size by approximately 1,200 square feet
from original design in order to accommodate minimum programmatic needs for a licensed, fully
functional childcare operation.

Project Status and discussion of Critical Path for Construction: Although funded as part of
the Puyallup College Phase III expansion project, the Childcare Center was designed and
constructed separately from other phases of the project. Construction of this facility, as well as
construction of the second entrance (West Access Driveway), has overlapped into the 2005-07
biennium. These final two phases of the overall Phase III Expansion Project experienced delays
due to permitting issues with the City of Puyallup. Both projects are complete and awaiting final
approval for occupancy and use by the City.

Potential for Project Cost Overruns/Claims: None identified at this time.
Discussion of Project Quality: The childcare center project is of reasonable quality. Quality
control was an issue of concern with this project during early phases of construction. The general
contractor did not entirely demonstrate a capability to thoroughly manage and supervise the work of
sub-contractors. This was particularly true during setting of footings and floor slab. Meetings
occurred between the design team and contractor to address quality control issues and contractor
responsibility criteria. Additionally, inspection visits by project architects and engineers were
increased to provide improved oversight. The firm of MSGS Architects managed the construction
phase and has considerable experience in construction management, including previous
experience with the College. The design team, general contractor and college personnel met
weekly to review project progress and to discuss outstanding issues. In addition to regular site
visits by architects and engineers, a testing services firm was also on-site regularly. Quality
control was improved and the remainder of the project was completed with no major issues of
concern.
