Full Description

The City of Seattle, Washington, has utilized an innovative public-private partnership for development of itsfirst water filtration plant, and is repeating the process for its second major treatment facility. As an alternative to the conventional public works procurement process, Seattle has sought to create situations where integrated teams of designers, constructors, and operators innovate in order to provide the most reliable and cost effective proposal for development of the projects, while maintaining public ownership of the facilities. The Tolt Treatment Facility is a 120 million gallon per day filtration and ozonation plant for treatment of Seattle's Tolt River source of supply which provides about a third of the water for Seattle and it's 26 regional wholesale customers. Currently, Seattle is conducting a selection process for a design-build-operate on a treatment facility on its larger source, the Cedar River. This paper discusses issues and optionsrelated to project definition, and presents real project examples of risk allocation during the development and construction phases of the Tolt design-build-operate project. Includes 2 references, figures.
