Why Integrated Program Management? COT – Strong Mayor Government

TWI is a Long Program…15-20 years Consistent PrM Team through Changes in Administration

COT Contracting Flexibility Contract with ONE Firm But Allow Flexibility to Add / Delete Resource Firms

Single Source Responsibility for Program Performance No Finger Pointing PrM Responsible for Consent Decree Fines

Program Manager Selection Selection by Blue Ribbon Panel

Panel Representation: Local Business Leaders, University of Toledo, Ohio State University and City Administration.

Unique Challenges1. Aggressive Schedule – An 18 month construction schedule

for $60M in wet weather facilities per consent decree. Multiple projects…Same site.

2. 2-year Ballasted Flocculation Performance…24/7 for 2 Years – Conducting the study while waiting for and being able to respond to storm event at all hours of the day or night, including holidays.

3. Economic Recession and Furloughed City Staff – Maintaining a positive working relationship with an embattled client staff where many lost pay and benefits during a severe economic recession.

4. 90% Local – Putting a solid, capable and local team together with the right skill set to meet a 90% local hours contract requirement.

5. Water Quality…Not Flood Relief – Careful maneuvering of TWI, a program to improve receiving water quality, through several local flooding and basement backup events that have occurred.
