Business Wire
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today that its AECOM-DBS joint venture with
minority-owned business enterprise partner DB Sterlin (DBS) has
been awarded a 3-year contract to provide program management
services to the Chicago Department of Water Management (DWM). In
this role, AECOM-DBS will manage the capital improvement program
for DWM’s facilities, which deliver nearly 750 million gallons of
drinking water to residents daily. Work will focus on numerous DWM
assets, including improvements to its 4,300-mile water distribution
system, 12 pumping stations, and two of the world’s largest water
purification plants.
“Through our work with DWM on their ambitious capital
improvement program, we share a deep commitment to ensuring safety,
championing sustainability, and optimizing costs for the benefit of
Chicago area communities,” said Drew Jeter, chief executive of
AECOM’s Program Management global business line. “Our Sustainable
Legacies strategy centers the role of infrastructure in delivering
equitable outcomes, and we’re proud that this program presents a
critical opportunity to address one of the greatest health and
equity challenges associated with water delivery in the U.S.—lead
service line replacement.”
Across the city of Chicago, AECOM-DBS will support the ongoing
delivery of high-quality drinking water and efficient management of
waste and stormwater infrastructure as well as the replacement of
400,000 lead service lines. The team will use the latest methods in
water main design and rehabilitation to identify and address
critical water system vulnerabilities, mitigate corrosion, and
limit impacts on trees and vegetation. This will include the use of
trenchless technologies to minimize costs, accelerate work, and
limit disruption to the public. Through its vast expertise, the
joint venture will use a facilities planning, design and
construction management approach to provide a smooth transition and
quickly prioritize DWM’s long-term planning needs while minimizing
community disruption.
“We’re proud to build on our longstanding partnership
collaborating with DBS on dozens of projects in Chicago to lead
DWM’s capital improvement program,” said Beverley Stinson, chief
executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “This partnership
combines the expertise of two firms, both of whom strongly believe
in DWM’s value to the City: providing clean, safe and reliable
drinking water. We’re excited to bring our knowledge and insights
gained from decades of experience in similar programs, both in the
City of Chicago and around the world.”
