Project Description: Located within the City of Tacoma limits in Pierce County, this
project includes construction of a 56,516 square foot building, which will provide space
to support Information Technology and related programs as well as space for an
Information Commons to support the expanding campus population. Primary goals of this
project includes increasing the number of classroom, lab spaces, and faculty to
accommodate immediate and anticipated future growth, integrating technology throughout the facility, providing adequate space for computer labs and engineering technology
labs, and providing for student life and activities on campus.
This building on the campus will help reduce the space shortages as well as improving
student opportunities to receive a more comprehensive education. In conjunction, 6,500
square feet of Information Commons is intended to provide technology access for
students without personal computers. The Commons is a Matching Funds project.

Potential for Project Cost Overruns/Claims
During the course of the construction phase Consultant errors and omissions were revealed
that have incurred many Change Orders. At this time the General Contractor has requested
to be compensated for extended overhead impacts and pending Change Orders. This
request brings the total impact to be $1,328,493
E&AS has engaged their contracts specialist to resolve the issue. At present the undisputed
entitlements have been approved for payment. The next phase will be to negotiate the
disputed amount of approximately $340,000.

Discussion of Project Quality
The City of Tacoma has inspected and approved the project and has released a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy. Obtaining the Final Certificate of Occupancy is contingent on
completing a few remaining code related items. The Commissioning agent has reviewed
the entire project. The agent has not yet approved the project. There are HVAC and
electrical items that need to be resolved. In general, the project installation quality is of
average quality. But the materials specified and installed are of high quality, durable and
should perform as specified. The goal is to have a fifty year life cycle.
