CH2M Hill

City of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU)

The City of Seattle owns and operates a combined sewer system that overflows during heavy rain events. These combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can contribute pollutants to surrounding water bodies, potentially impacting their quality and uses. Over the last 40 years, the City and the County through each agency's CSO reduction programs have successfully reduced CSO volume into surrounding receiving waters by approximately 20 billion gallons. However, there is still work to be done to control the remaining CSOs, and the final reduction in CSO volume is the most challenging.

Over the next 10-15 years, the City will work in partnership with King County, the Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Environmental Protection Agency to address the remaining and most challenging CSOs. This contract provides project control and program management for the CSO reduction program.

JTS is providing document control, project controls and data entry for Phase II of the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Program Management Services project for Seattle Public Utilities. The JTS scope includes document control system administration, i.e., pre-system rollout training for staff and systems support, and data entry and QA/QC throughout the project's duration. JTS will assist in updating and developing additional features as the document control system evolves through design, construction and operations.
