Mortenson Construction is seeking bids from subcontractors for work connected with the renovation of Westridge Elementary School in Lake Oswego.

The Lake Oswego School District is seeking safety and security improvements, seismic upgrades, accessibility improvements, work to address deferred maintenance, and more.

Both the existing roof and water-damaged entry canopy will be replaced. All existing cedar siding will be replaced with metal siding. Failing clerestory windows will be replaced, while old masonry will be repointed or replaced. Also, the parking lot will gain a new layer of pavement.

Shear walls will be created by adding plywood to existing interior walls, and a secure vestibule will be created within the entry hall. Access control and alarms will be added at points of entry and exit.

Plumbing fixtures will be replaced in two restroom areas to meet accessibility requirements. The library will gain LED light fixtures as well as small reading rooms by removing a seismically unsound loft area and partial walls. Also, a storage room will be converted into a work room for teachers.

Two kindergarten classrooms will be transformed into maker space for use by all students, and a 1,820-square-foot addition with one new classroom and restrooms will be added to offset the loss of classroom space.

FFA Architecture and Interiors is handling design, and Mortenson is serving as construction manager/general contractor. Work will involve roof and envelope elements, mechanical and plumbing and electrical equipment, fire sprinklers, demolition, seismic upgrades, and architectural improvements. Construction is set to take place this summer.
