Site work and renovation of a medical facility in Seattle, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a medical facility; and for site work for a medical facility.

The base project will consist of a Project Definition phase to investigate existing conditions; develop technical solutions, phasing plans, budget options, cash flow projections, schedule options, and conceptual approaches for landscape improvements. When Project Definition is complete, the University intends to take the defined project scope, cost, schedule, and funding plan to its Board of Regents for approval of the project to fully design and construct the work. At its discretion, the University would award the full project to the builder which performed the Project Definition work. The Project Definition scope is estimated to be approximately $2M in value, with a maximum of $4M, and the value of the full design-build contract is currently estimated as approximately $30M with a total project cost of approximately $40M. The existing waterproofing membrane underneath the Northwest and Main Entry Courts is beyond its service life and failures have been an ongoing challenge to operations, equipment, and patient care for UWMC. The intended scope of this project will include demolition of existing hardscape, excavation to expose existing waterproofing, and complete replacement of the existing waterproofing membrane, flashings, and associated systems. The existing waterproofing includes the horizontal waterproofing on the Level 3 structural deck (primarily), potentially the Level 2 structural deck and below-grade walls at these locations, the waterproofing at horizontal and vertical seismic joints, and the transitions where the waterproofing turns up onto the above-grade walls or down onto the below-grade walls of the existing Medical Center. The project scope will also include new landscape and hardscape improvements that are appropriate for significant open spaces at the leading hospital in our region, enhance the visitor, patient, and staff experience, and are visually pleasing when viewed from above. Developing safe, effective, and attractive solutions for a dense interface of pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and transit is a key aspect of the project. The project is expected to require a multi-phased approach to allow for continuous access to the Medical Center, and the design-builder will be responsible for developing a design and construction phasing plan. Special consideration should also be given to 24/7 building access requirements as well as uninterrupted operations of UWMC.
