CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2027 

This session builds upon the presentation “Partnering for Successful Integrated Project Delivery in a Risky Environment,” delivered by the City of Tampa Water Department and Jacobs at the 2022 DBIA Water/Wastewater Conference. Since that time, the DLTWTF and Miscellaneous Improvements project has been completed. The intent of this session is to highlight how integrated delivery paid benefits during the preconstruction and construction phases of this PDB 140 MGD expansion project within the footprint of a hundred-year-old operating facility. In order to expedite the schedule, save costs and mitigate risks, a multiple GMP approach was implemented at a later stage of design. The sequence of work during construction and execution of startup and commissioning activities to maintain operations were highly complex including over 27 shutdowns and tie ins and required detailed planning and close collaboration between and input from all project stakeholders. Fundamental to the success of the project was the implementation of several DBIA best practices which allowed all parties to work together to make best-for-project decisions. In particular, the City of Tampa and Jacobs worked together using exemplary communication and the right tools to make this challenging project a true success.
