Jacobs wins $800 million contract for King County, Wash., wastewater upgrades
(UI) — Jacobs has been awarded a contract to manage and advise on more than $800 million in infrastructure upgrades for King County Wastewater Treatment Division in Washington State. These improvements aim to enhance water quality and system resilience for around two million people in the Seattle and central Puget Sound area.
Jacobs will oversee the South Treatment Plant Facility Program in Renton, providing services from initiation through design, construction, and commissioning. This facility treats an average of 115 million gallons of wastewater per day during wet weather and 96 million gallons per day during dry weather.
Jacobs Senior Vice President Katus Watson emphasized the significance of the project, stating, "The South Treatment Plant Facility Program is a vital investment in Washington state communities and regional water quality. With our program management team and resources, we'll ensure successful delivery of this crucial infrastructure."
Jacobs has a longstanding partnership with King County, addressing water quality challenges across its infrastructure, which includes 18 cities, 15 local sewer utilities, and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. In addition to program management, Jacobs is also the design engineer for the Eastside Interceptor rehabilitation project and has completed other significant projects like the Georgetown Wet Weather Treatment Station and the Brightwater Treatment Plant.
Ranked No.1 in Program Management by Engineering News-Record, Jacobs handles complex infrastructure programs globally, such as the Port of San Francisco Waterfront Resilience Program and the Thames Tideway Tunnel in the U.K.
With around $16 billion in annual revenue and over 60,000 employees, Jacobs offers a range of professional services, including consulting, technical, scientific, and project delivery for both the government and private sectors.
