Risk Management to Make Informed, Contingency-Based CIP Decisions
Abstract
The City of Portland, Oregon’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) initiated the use of risk registers and risk assessment practices early in the development of the $800 million (USD) Willamette River Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Program. As the program progresses into final design and construction, BES expanded the risk management process to include transfer of risk registries from design entities to a project team that included owner, construction contractor, construction manager, and design consultants. Qualitative and quantitative re-evaluation of the design phase risk registries by the project team lead to the development of project contingencies as well as advantageous procurement of Owner Controlled Insurance (OCIP) Coverage.
This paper will discuss the evolution of the risk management process utilized by BES throughout the CSO Program and explore the implementation of the bureau-wide systematic project risk management program to develop and manage BES-wide CIP contingencies.
