Project Management
Umpqua Valley Christian Gym
MAP Engineering, Inc. with Marquess and Assoc. as subcontractor provided
Umpqua Valley Christian with engineering assistance to build a new gym. This project was both a design-build and a
design-to-cost project. MAP strove to
lessen costs wherever feasible throughout the project. One example of such a cost saving measure was
by eliminating the need for a fire pump by separating the fire system. The City system had adequate flow and pressure to feed the sprinkler system but not enough flow or storage for the fire hydrants. We constructed an onsite storage tank to hold the required amount of fire flow and build a separate system to feed the fire hydrants. This saved UVC the upfront cost of a fire pump and controls and the long term maintenance for the system as well.
Glendale School District
Our firm assisted the Glendale School
District with their renovation and improvement project. The entire high school
burned down in 1975 and was rebuilt the next year. After almost 30 years of use
the school was in serious need of exterior repairs. Likewise, the interior had very worn
flooring. The School District tried several times to pass a bond issue. When
they were finally successful they wanted to be sure that the money was put to
good use and stretched as far as possible. Our firm was hired to provide design
and project management services. The finished project won a national award for
innovation, thanks in great part to the contractor, but also due to our
approach to cost saving measures.
