POWER LIST: GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Complex, complex, logistical, and complex are the projects currently under JE Dunn鈥檚 belt. In November, the general contractor expects to wrap up what Darin Stegemoller, senior vice president of the Northwest Division, called one of most (if not the absolute) complex projects the company has undertaken 鈥� the Parking Additions and Consolidated Rental Car facility, or PACR. The new six-level, 1.65 million-square-foot parking structure now serves the Port of Portland at Portland International Airport. But it鈥檚 also coupled with a new 90,000-square-foot building that houses critical airport operations and rental car facility offices.

Construction of the 鈥渂east鈥� of a project has involved: building an underground tunnel with a duct bank holding the airport鈥檚 fiber-optic cables going through the middle of it, rerouting traffic and nearly 1,600 lineal feet of utility piping, and incorporating seismic resiliency to the building and the parking structure. The entire project鈥檚 estimated contract amount so far has been $310 million.

Closer to Portland鈥檚 center, JE Dunn is working on a site that never sleeps. TriMet鈥檚 180,000-square-foot bus maintenance facility off of Powell Boulevard serves a fleet of over 300 buses and operates 24/7. Construction crews are working under an intense logistics structure 鈥� from the detailed, phased construction schedule to the coordination of all shipments and movements of construction equipment 鈥� to ensure the facility experiences no operational interruptions. The estimated $136 million project will provide improved lifts, fueling and maintenance equipment, as well as infrastructure to support a future electric bus fleet.
