The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high-quality drinking water, managing wastewater and storm water, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system’s 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.

The Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction (BEDC) currently has a portfolio of capital projects valued at $23.8B, and another $10.5B projected over the next 10-year commitment plan. The projects BEDC implements allows DEP as a whole to continue to operate and maintain an exemplary water supply system.

The Program Management Office (PMO) within BEDC provides technical support to the project delivery teams. This includes the following sections and groups: Project Controls, Schedule Controls, Permitting Support, Cost Estimating, Business Solutions, Data Analytics, and management of the Enterprise Program Management Information System (ePMIS). The PMO uses people, processes, and tools to mitigate issues that may impact a project.

NYCDEP’s approach to Risk Management starts at the earliest stages of a project detecting risk uncertainties that may negatively or positively impact budget, schedule, EHS, reputation, and legal aspects of the project. The framework is meant to ensure early detection and warning of unplanned uncertainties in costs, schedule, and project scope. The framework also provides a proactive approach in managing projects by forecasting future uncertainties before they occur. To be successful, the risk management plan will require collaborative participation from all stakeholders on the program. The key components to a successful Risk Management program are dedicated trained Program Risk Managers, specifically assigned Project Risk Managers, the development of a Risk Management plan, availability of the necessary tools to implement that plan, and the regular use of the Risk Management process. A successful Risk Management program will demonstrate specific improvements to the projects managed.
