CONSTRUCTION BIDS COME IN
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
ON TARGET
FOR LIBRARY EXPANSION PROJECT
CITY OF ST. HELENS
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADE
Bids were opened Wednesday (April 10) for the first phase of the University of
Oregon’s project to make a major addition to its Knight Library, the state's primary
humanities and social sciences research center.
The apparent low bid of $12,168,700 from L.D. Mattson, Inc., of Salem came in
about five percent below the pre-bid cost estimates, according to Chris Ramey, UO
associate planner.
All tour bids submitted on the project will be forwarded immediately for review by the
Oregon State System of Higher Education’s facilities division, which reviews them
to ensure that project specification and statutory requirements are met by the
apparent low bidder.
Ramey said the contract is expected to be awarded within two weeks. Construc
tion will begin in mid-May. Completion is set for fall 1992.
The other three bids were $12,990,000 from Wildish Paving Co. doing business as
Wildish Building Co.of Eugene; $12,597,294 from John Byland Construction, Inc.,
of Eugene and $12,465,000 from Marion Construction Co. of Salem.
"This is great news because all of the bids were very close and well within our
budget estimate,” Ramey said. "Credit goes to the architects for doing such a good
job of describing the building.”
Project architects are TBG Architects and Planners/PC of Eugene. Sheppley,
Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott of Boston is the design consultant.
The expansion which includes building another floor on topof the rear of the existing
building and extension of the west and south wings, will add 132,000 square feet
to the current 237,000 square feet of floor space. Since the last expansion in 1966,
the collection has grown 40 percent, and UO enrollment has increased 42 percent.
A second phase of the Knight Library expansion program, primarily involving reno
vations to the existing structure, will follow the new addition and is expected to take
24 months to complete.
Planning for the expansion began in 1987 with seed money from the Oregon Leg
islature. A total of $17,474,000 was authorized by the 1987 and 1989 Legislatures
from the state's general fund, with another $9,926,000 to be raised by the univer
sity from private gifts and grants. To date, more than $7 million in private money has
been committed to the project.
