Parkrose School District No. 3 is seeking a CM/GC partner to deliver geothermal and energy-resilience upgrades at two occupied elementary schools.
- **Government buyer:** Parkrose School District No. 3, Facilities Department, Portland, Oregon.
- **Requested services:** CM/GC preconstruction and construction services for Russell Elementary School and Shaver Elementary School.
  - Replace gas-fired heating with closed-loop vertical geothermal wellfields and a distributed water-source heat-pump/ambient-loop system.
  - Complete related HVAC, ventilation, electrical, controls, hazardous-material abatement, commissioning, training, and closeout work. Shaver’s below-slab air tunnels are to be adapted for outdoor-air delivery and relief.
- **Notable requirements:** The schools will remain occupied during construction, requiring phased work and campus safety measures. The project is PCEF-funded and subject to grant, workforce and contractor-equity, prevailing-wage, and reporting requirements, as well as applicable permits and Oregon Water Resources Department compliance.
- **Cost and schedule:** The combined maximum allowable construction cost is capped at $7.5 million; this is a construction-cost cap, not a stated total CM/GC contract value. Work is anticipated to begin in late 2026, with the heating systems targeted to be operational before the 2027 heating season.
- **Named firms:** Soderstrom Architects, Interface Engineering, and ZCS are identified as members of the design team, not as proposing suppliers. No product OEMs or equipment brands are specified.
