General contractor P&C Construction is seeking subcontractors to help build a new headquarters and conference center for the Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District.

Construction will take place on a 15-acre former farm at 22055 South Beavercreek Road southeast of Oregon City. It will involve demolition of seven existing buildings, earthwork, vegetation removal and site preparation for construction of a new, single-story, 11,000-square-foot, wood-framed . The new building will be a conventional stick-built structure with composition roofing. A residential appearance is expected to help the structure fit into the surrounding rural neighborhood at the junction of South Beavercreek and Ferguson roads.

The meeting space will be roughly 30 feet by 50 feet, with a kitchen and restrooms nearby. Double doors will open to an outdoor plaza. Up to 150 people will fit in the conference room, depending on seating arrangements.

Site work will include construction of roadway improvements, 42 parking spaces and circulation, walkways, an outdoor plaza, landscaping, stormwater facilities, an on-site septic system, domestic water and fire flow, and underground power and data.

On-site work is scheduled to start in March 2019 and finish by November 2019.

To avoid impacting open fields, the Conservation Resource Center will be constructed where some existing buildings sit. Others, including a historic barn, will be preserved.

The new facility is intended to be a long-term investment to help staff carry out day-to-day operations; these include conservation planning, invasive species management, outreach and education, board meetings and public hearings, workshops, equipment rental and conservation demonstrations.

Bids for this project must be submitted by 2 p.m. on Jan. 8, 2019.

Prospective bidders can email questions to P&C Construction chief estimator Les Jacobson at [email protected].
