LA Breakfast Program

Date: January 20, 2015

Time: 7:30am - 9:30am

Location: Biltmore Millennium Hotel, Los Angeles

Description: LA Breakfast presentation, "HOW DESIGN-BUILD ACCELERATES WATER PROJECTS TO RESPOND TO THE CALIFORNIA DROUGHT," with the following speakers:

  • Ken Ortega - Assistant General Manager, Water Replenishment District
  • Shivaji Deshmukh - Assistant General Manager, West Basin Municipal Water District
  • Michael Sarullo, P.E. - Division Engineer, City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering - Environmental Engineering Division

Being in the middle of a severe drought; water reuse and the possibility of more indirect and direct potable reuse projects are getting more and more attention. As such, it is foreseeable that some of the projects planned
(and maybe some not in the planning stages) in the 5 year plus time frame might be accelerated due to the need for water, and/or as well as any new political champions pushing the effort. With the approval of Prop 1, there is now a competition for the approved funds amongst various agencies and private parties. Part of the reviewing and selection of projects to receive the Prop 1 funding is how close they are to being shovel ready. In this light, we will hear the Agencies’ plans to develop local supplies through a number of methods, and how they will utilize innovative delivery methods like Design-Build to accelerate projects.
