6 University of Colorado As-Needed Architectural, Engineering and Consultant Services Sample Projects Fitzsimons Infrastructure Improvements, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center (UCHSC), Aurora, Colorado The original U.S. Army garrison, built in the 1930s, was comprised of a 448,000 square foot hospital and supporting facilities. It expanded to 1,946,000 square foot of new construction as the University of Colorado, Denver. WHPacific met the challenge of designing around existing utilities, some phased out of service and others that remained in service. WHPacific s work, typical of campus projects, required coordination with various other projects being constructed concurrently with those designed and administered by WHPacific. 19th Avenue Reconstruction (Phase 2) This project included the design of the roadway and incorporated stormwater and sanitary sewer design, including new construction and renovations. Water Main Improvements (Phase 3) Phase 1: Design of 1,600 LF of 15-inch to 8-inch sanitary sewer. Phase 2: Design of roadway; 2,250 LF of storm sewer; 1,350 LF of sanitary sewer; and detention basin revisions. Phase 3: Design of 3,400 LF of water line; 3500 LFof sanitary sewer; and 420 LF of storm sewer. Design and construction: ; Design fee $531,313 Sanitary Sewer Expansion (Phase 1) The first phase of WHPacific s design for the UCHSC was the sanitary sewer that served the 1930s 448,000 square foot hospital as well as 1,946,000 square foot of new construction. Because of the phasing of the facilities - both sewer phasing and building phasing - interim and ultimate sewer flows were considered that would provide a design for the worst-case scenario. The main trunk sewer needed to discharge into an existing sewer and avoid utilities such as steam tunnels, underground personnel tunnels, chilled water and condensate lines, deep (12 to 15 feet) storm sewer lines, utility vaults, existing live and abandoned waterlines and valves, utility and light poles, and electrical transformers and switchgears. WHPacific was able to design and construct a 15-inch sewer in a challenging maze of existing underground pipes, tunnels and other structures. This project was comprised of multiple water line upgrades to the existing UCHSC Fitzsimons Campus. The new water lines continue the master plan upgrades to the University s infrastructure, and entailed adding 8-inch to 24-inch water distribution lines through the most densely congested area of the Campus. The existing underground utilities included personnel and steam tunnels, steam and chilled water lines, electric and telephone duct banks, fiber optic duct banks, as well as sewer, water, and storm sewer. The project s primary challenge was determining live and abandoned utilities, maintaining active services, planning for future Campus expansions, and the phasing of current and numerous projects.

7 University of Colorado As-Needed Architectural, Engineering and Consultant Services Utility Master Plan, University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque, New Mexico WHPacific is currently providing economic analysis and master planning for the distribution systems (steam, condensate, chilled water, electrical, natural gas, telephone, data, optical fiber, and copper) and for the generation systems (chilled water, steam, electrical, purchased utilities). 360 Acres Currently in design $425,298 Design fee Gallup Campus Utility Master Plan, UNM, Gallup WHPacific is currently providing a study of the UNM Gallup utility systems, coordinating past studies, and developing a comprehensive utility master plan in support of the Gallup Campus Facilities Master Plan. 80+ Acres Currently in design $84,700 Design fee Water Master Plan and Domestic Water System Improvements UNM, Albuquerque 360 Acres Project cost: $3,950,578 construction (Phase 1 $1,250,000; Phase 3 $900,000; Phase 4 $762,582; Phase 5 $ 1,037,996) Phase 1 Design (2001), Phase 2 Construction (2002), Phase 3 (2007), Phase 4 (2006), Phase 5 (2011). The UNM s Albuquerque campus uses its own water supply and distribution facilities to provide the majority of domestic water and fire protection service to a 25,000-student campus spread over 360 acres in central Albuquerque; several outlying UNM buildings are supplied water from the city s system. This campus was served mainly through 8-inch and smaller exposed steel pipes installed in a network of utility tunnels beneath the campus. The age and condition of this system, along with plans to expand the campus to accommodate 35,000 students, required the University to develop a new water system master plan as well as a phased upgrade strategy for the plan s recommended system improvements. The design was phased to coincide with funding availability and to minimize disruption of water service and vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The University has a major physical plant that includes potable water supply and delivery. Due to age of the infrastructure and the growth of the campus, UNM s water system required a master plan update; a system upgrade strategy; and close coordination with UNM and the contractor to address and resolve complicated field conditions encountered due to more than 400 previously unknown utilities. WHPacific developed a comprehensive master plan and water line design from a detailed hydraulic analysis of the existing system and future required system, and verified current use. The hydraulic analyses included detailed investigations of 60,000 total feet of 8, 10 and 12 inch water lines on the campus and adjacent roadways. The master plan identified several construction phases to implement improvement projects in conjunction with availability of funding, and developed phases construction. The design of Phase 1 included 15,000 total LF of new 8, 10, and 12-inch water lines. Phase 3: UNM s water system required the renovation of an increased capacity pump station on campus. The existing pump station was located in an underground structure adjacent to an underground reservoir. WHPacific designed the renovation to increase its capacity to 8,000 GPM. WHPacific also a construction sequence that minimized disruption of water service and vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The project was an overall success that resulted in a 47% reduction of energy usage at the pump station when comparing the energy used in August 2004 to August Phase 4: WHPacific designed over 1,000 LF of 12-inch water line, including 200 LF of tunnel piping, to complete a water line loop connecting the potable water pump station to the north side of central campus using pipes sized in accordance with hydraulic modeling work from the Water Master Plan. Fire hydrants were also added at critical locations along with a new concrete vehicular ramp to improve fire truck access to existing buildings. The design also called for nearly 800 LF of gravity sewer collection including manholes and building sewer service connections. The new water and sewer lines were installed along narrow utility corridors within central campus. Phase 5: This phase includes approximately 1,100 LF of 8-inch water line and 2,500 LF of 10-inch water line including valves, fire hydrants, and appurtenances to complete the water line loops according to hydraulic modeling work from the Water Master Plan.
