Willamette River Combined Sewer Overflows CSO Tunnel Program.

 

1- The East Side CSO ESCSO Tunnel, Portland, OR, $450 million, 2005-2011
The projects used Cost-Reimbursable-Fixed-Fee. This alternate contract method successfully eliminated all claims and disputes for both projects. The entire program was completed on-time and under-budget with no outstanding contractual issues and no claims.

The project contains 6 miles of 22-ft diameter sewage conveyance/storage tunnel that will collect and intercept overflows from existing combined sewers and carry sewage and storm water to Swan Island Pump, and 6,000 linear feet of small diameter tunnels and gravity open-cut pipeline. The Eastside CSO tunnel constructed 85 to 165 feet below ground and 7 separate large shafts located along the alignment to very difficult connections to live sewers.

2-  Swan Island Pump Station Phase 2 $9 million, 2009-2011
Project Estimator/Project Controls Scheduler: Second phase of construction for the 210 MGD underground Swan Island Pump Station installing 3 large pumps, motors, VFDs, and the associated piping, and mechanical and electrical equipment necessary to complete the pump station.

 

3- The Portsmouth Force Main project is the last leg of the CSO Program and will convey up to 120 mgd of combined sewage through one 66-inch diameter force main.  Beginning at the Swan Island Combined Sewer Overflow Pump Station, the Portsmouth Force Main Segment 1 and 2 extends 11000 lf of micro-tunneled pipeline to the Columbia Blvd Wastewater Treatment Plant.

 

All of these contracts have had schedule issues and claims related to time and extended overhead.  Responsibilities include Preparation the estimating for the changes on the subcontracts on the ESCSO and attend and participate in all of our negotiations for the Pump Station.  

Responsibilities include review and analysis of the baseline schedule, as-built and monthly update schedules, monitoring and evaluating physical progress to assure that the general contractor is performing the work in accordance with its schedule. Review the project schedule each month for the ESCSO.  The project has had numerous schedule evaluations to adjust for seasonal weather issues and major equipment deliveries and such.  The consequence is that the team has managed the project to meet the contract time milestones successfully.

Prepare the monthly summary report, which includes the updated schedule, summary of construction, city forces, progress photos, schedule issues, cash flow, cost event summary and contingency expenditures against the cost to date.

In addition, the responsibility of reviewing subcontract change orders, and provides independent projection comparison of the schedule estimate at completion to the general contractor’s. Several of these changes required schedule analyses of the subcontract durations.

Utilize report and preparation of charts & graphs to support and present analyses for project controls and evaluation.
