To encourage early teaming arrangements, we hope interested firms attend.

A brief description of the projects WTD will be discussing at this open house are: 

Program Manager/Owner Advisor:  King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) is in the process of establishing capital delivery programs at several of our facilities. As part of this effort, WTD will be seeking Program Manager/ Owner Advisor consultant support for our South plant, Brightwater, and  Off-site programs.  The selected consultant will provide program management development and implementation services for the projects planned at this facility over the next six years in capital improvements program (6-year CIP).   In addition, the selected consultant could be asked to provide owner advisors services for any projects selected for collaborative delivery in the 6-year CIP at this facility.  

Black Diamond Trunk Capacity Upgrade: add conveyance capacity to accommodate population growth over time in a manner that meets King County’s commitments to provide conveyance services to the City of Black Diamond. The scope includes upsizing approximately 6 miles of 10-inch to 16-inch sewer pipe and associated appurtenances.  This project is anticipated to be implemented using the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) collaborative delivery approach. Total project budget for design and construction is approximately $92M. 

Elliott West Wet Weather Treatment Station (EWWTS): The EWWTS pumps, screens, and disinfects wet weather flows that exceed the storage capacity of the Mercer and Denny combined sewer overflow (CSO) tunnels. The primary objective of the project is to bring the facility into full permit compliance with the West Point Treatment Plant National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The scope includes expansion of the existing facility, including the addition of new screens, treatment utilizing ballasted sedimentation, disinfection (UV or Hypochlorite dosing), expansion of electrical services, and chemical storage. Total project budget is approximately $450M. 

West Point Raw Sewage Pump/Grit Replacement: WPTP RSP Replacement Project is to increase the firm capacity of the pump station from 330 million gallons per day (MGD) to 440 MGD by replacing the existing engine based pumping system with electric motor based pumps. The project will also increase the seismic resiliency of the pump station, provide improvements to meet NFPA 820 standards, lower maintenance costs related to aged equipment, improve energy efficiency, and remove hazardous materials. The project also replaces the existing boiler system to provide heat necessary to maintain a stable treatment process. The Grit Classifier project will replace the existing four (4) aging grit classifiers with new grit classifiers, twelve (12) cyclones and replace two (2) hydraulically actuated grit hopper gates with electrically actuated gates. The project will also implement general modifications to associated structural, mechanical, electrical, and process piping related to the grit classifier. Total project budget for construction is $140M. 

Interbay Force Main: Work generally includes installation of a temporary bypass pipe from the pump station to the north end of the project; replacement of the twin 36-inch diameter steel forcemains with 42-inch ductile iron pipe; construction of an odor control facility (OCF) and access road at the forcemain discharge structure (FMDS); and rehabilitation of the twin 48-inch forcemains, the FMDS, and approximately 2000 LF of the Elliott Bay Interceptor Section 8 (EBI 8). Total project budget for construction is approximately  $45M. 

Mouth of Duwamish CSO Control Program: In 2023, WTD initiated the Mouth of the Duwamish Program. The Program is anticipated to be one of the largest Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) control programs in WTD’s regional treatment and conveyance system with a total value of greater than $1B. PMOA and Engineering consultant services have been selected and alternatives analysis will be undertaken in 2023/2024.  King County will evaluate delivery methods in 2024/2025 once the facility configuration is determined. No new contracting opportunities are anticipated for this effort until 2025.

About this event

King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD) is intending to utilize Progressive Design Build (PDB) and General Contractor-Construction Manager (GCCM) alternative delivery procurement approaches on three upcoming projects. In order to encourage early teaming arrangements, the County is hosting a virtual informational open house for interested firms.

A brief description of the three projects we will be discussing at this open house are:

• East Side Interceptor (ESI) Section 8 Rehabilitation: This project will rehabilitate 4,800 feet of the existing 90-inch diameter, 5,600-foot-long tunnel from the Energy Dissipating Structure, RO2-30, located at the intersection of I-90 and I-405, to structure RO2-29 located at the intersection of I-405 and Coal Creek Parkway SE; the 800 feet of this pipe upstream of RO2-30 was lined in 1996 and 1998 and does not require rehabilitation. The total project budget is $76,000,000. 
• M Street Trunk Rehabilitation: This project is to rehabilitate approximately 13,900 linear feet of 18, 24, 30 and 36-inch diameter severely deteriorated reinforced concrete pipe and 45 precast concrete maintenance holes between MHs GR21-34A and R18H-78A comprising the northern portion of the M Street Trunk located within the City of Auburn, Washington. The project will require close coordination with the local jurisdictions for traffic control and associated sewer diversions that will impact public services. The total project budget is $36,000,000. 
  
• West Point Treatment Plant Electrical Improvements: In 2019, WTD conducted a formulation project to define the scope and cost to upgrade and replace existing electrical equipment at the West Point Treatment Plant. The scope includes approximately 123 electrical assets that need to be replaced, and 9 assets that should be relocated to be above the flood zone. Additional areas to be evaluated in this scope of work are the direct current (DC) battery systems that provide critical power for switchgear and other controls, as well as low voltage (under 480V) panelboards, related transformers, and control systems. The total project budget is $130,000,000.
