The renovation of Evelyn Schiffler Memorial Park in Beaverton, Oregon was one of several community parks modernized by Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD) as part of their $100 million bond measure passed in 2008. To efficiently handle the unusual spike in work load generated by the bond measure, THPRD selected MacKay
Sposito to provide construction management and inspection services during the construction phase of this project.

From the pre-construction meeting to the final punchlist, MacKay Sposito was responsible for coordinating, managing, and documenting all aspects of the construction phase. This included coordination between the contractor, THPRD, and many other stakeholders such as permitting agencies, neighbors, and local businesses. The construction process and associated quality control documentation was accomplished through schedule review and enforcement; invoice reviews; daily inspection reports and photo log; oversight of materials testing; material quantity tracking; monitoring and routing of RFIs, submittals,
Change Order Requests (COR’s), and substitution requests; negotiation of CORs; change directives, tracking spreadsheets; and administration of a web-based document management system (SharePoint).

Improvements to the existing 10.2 acre park included a concrete skate park, hard-surface and gravel pathways, boardwalk traversing a wetland, community and memorial gardens, a tiered wetland overlook, two wooden pavilions, two half-court basketball hoops, two
playgrounds, and additional off-street parking. Since the project was constructed on time and on budget, THPRD was also able to reconstruct a 5,500 SF asphalt parking lot in the park that was in desperate need of repair.
