Jacobs secures $800 million contract for King County Wastewater Infrastructure overhaul
Jacobs has been appointed to manage and provide consultancy services for over $800 million in critical infrastructure upgrades for King County Wastewater Treatment Division.
The 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."
