In May of 2025, the Chemeketa District voters passed a bond measure for $140 million. Approximately $30 million has been dedicated to the Building 7 Renovation project that the college has already begun, therefore this contract will cover the remaining $110 million worth of bond related projects which include, at a minimum, a new Trades Center (CTI Building), Building 3 Remodel, Building 2 Remodel, Woodburn Science Lab, and numerous deferred maintenance projects.

The contract awardee will be responsible for overseeing the scheduling and implementation of all remaining bond related projects, establishing construction project management protocols, implementing project management software tools, providing a technical overview of procurement efforts for conformance with area industry best practices and general conformance with Oregon procurement statutes, and possibly act as the owner’s representative/project manager on 2 to 5 larger projects. The College would like to establish an initial implementation contract for one year with the option to renew the contract annually for up to an additional four years.

The success of the Bond Program needs to establish centralized documentation and process workflows for timely, consistent project operations and communication. Based on created centralized document management, construction approval workflows (ex. RFIs, Change Orders), and information dashboards to actively and transparently manage scope, schedule, and budget. Smartsheet is user-friendly and can keep project team members and stakeholders engaged in real-time from any computer.
