Potential 12-year contract supports mission to
protect public health and the environment
DALLAS, July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected to provide program
management and consultancy services to support the delivery of more
than $800 million in critical
infrastructure upgrades for King County Wastewater Treatment
Division. Improvements will enhance water quality and system
resiliency for approximately two million people in Seattle and across the central Puget Sound
region.
Leveraging experience from similar complex infrastructure
programs, Jacobs will provide oversight from initiation through
design, construction and commissioning for the South Treatment
Plant Facility Program. Located in Renton, South Treatment Plant is one of
King County's three regional
wastewater plants. It treats an average of 115 million gallons of
wastewater per day during wet weather and 96 million gallons per
day during dry weather. The facility also hosts on-site educational
programming and features a 1.5-acre demonstration
farm, CitySoil, that produces approximately 4,000 pounds of
food annually for a local foodbank.
"The South Treatment Plant Facility Program represents both a
cross-generational investment in local Washington state communities and a commitment
to preserve water quality throughout the region," said Jacobs
Senior Vice President Katus Watson.
"With our industry-leading program management team, coupled with
our planning, design and construction management resources, we'll
provide King County with an ideal
mix of delivery experience to bring this important infrastructure
program to fruition."
Jacobs' selection builds on a strong relationship and history of
partnering with King County to
tackle pressing water quality challenges across its infrastructure
portfolio, inclusive of 18 cities, 15 local sewer utilities and the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. In addition to providing program
management and consultancy services, Jacobs is also serving as the
design engineer for one of the county's first Progressive
Design-Build projects which will rehabilitate key sections of the
Eastside Interceptor, a major wastewater conveyance pipeline in
Bellevue. In 2022, a Jacobs-led
team completed the award-winning Georgetown Wet Weather Treatment
Station, and a decade ago, Jacobs served as the prime consultant
for the Brightwater Treatment Plant, which at the time it was
built, was the largest membrane bioreactor in North America.
Ranked as No.1 in Program Management by
Engineering News-Record, Jacobs delivers today's most
complex, challenging and iconic infrastructure and transformation
programs. Jacobs has supported programs like the Port of San
Francisco Waterfront Resilience Program, Thames Tideway Tunnel, a
significant water infrastructure project in the U.K., and
the Central Interceptor, New Zealand's largest-ever
wastewater project.
At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by
solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities,
resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational
advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing,
