Questions Contact Felix Brandli, WPTP Capital Program Manager (felix.brandli@kingcounty.gov; 206-477-3500), OR Trisha Roth (troth@kingcounty.gov; 206-263-1964) The West Point Treatment Plant (WPTP) provides secondary treatment for approximately 700,000 residents and businesses in Seattle and northern King County. With many mechanical, electrical, and support systems at the WPTP reaching the end of useful life, King County will invest more than $800 million over the next 10 years to upgrade the WPTP. This project will deliver a portion of that work, including mechanical, electrical, and seismic upgrades and will coordinate with other active construction contracts at the Plant. Constraints includes performing work on an operating wastewater treatment facility which requires carefully planned and executed outages, close coordination with Operations and Maintenance staff, and sequencing of projects to minimize Plant disruption. In addition, space is limited for contractor staging and parking which may require off-site lay down and parking. MACC ESTIMATE: $150,000,000 - $200,000,000 ESJ goals will be set in the near future. King County's Master Community Workforce Agreement (MCWA) will apply to this project. This project is King County funded, and could include grant funding from WIFIA, SRF, and FEMA. Program is subject to biennial funding, we expect to be working with GCCM to develop future funding requests. *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
