Improvements Project. They are as follows:
1. Design, bid, and construction phase services for the Westside Water Treatment Plant
(WTP) backup power including electrical switchgear and generator(s).
2. Study for Senate Bill 3, the TCEQ Emergency Preparedness Plan, for the City's
WTP's, and pump stations.
3. Holly Complex Conceptual Study to include 30% design for backup power including
electrical switchgear and generator(s) for the plant.
Westside Treatment Plant Backup Power Design:
Design of back up generation for the max day capacity (18 -21 MGD) and include sizing and
siting of generator(s) and any electrical gear necessary to support the generators. The
electrical gear is expected to have the capability to be expanded in the future, if necessary.
The design will include all necessary generator(s) to support the Westside WTP while
operating at the max day capacity. The design will be completed for a City of Fort Worth
advertisement date of October 1, 2021 or sooner.
To determine necessary equipment to operate during the maximum day capacity(18-21 MGD)
of the treatment plant, coordination will be required to identify all necessary pump and motor
combinations, and any necessary supporting processes and systems.
The generator system will be able to accommodate a minimum of 24 hours of continuous
operation at max day capacity. The exact amount of time for back up generation will be
coordinated with the CITY and finalized at the completion of the design phase. Additionally,
the generators will meet City of Fort Worth Code of Ordinances Chapter 23-8 (noise).
The project will include one bid package for a construction contract for all equipment including
the generator(s), switchgear, and all other necessary appurtenances.

design criteria for which the analysis will be based upon. Design criteria considerations will
include items such as:
• Duration (hours) of emergency event
• Demand condition of emergency event (average day, maximum day)
• Level of service provided (pressures greater than 20 PSI / 35 PSI /Other)
ENGINEER and CITY will determine 2 scenarios for which to conduct the performance
analysis.
ENGINEER will conduct an analysis of the CITY's pump stations to determine the level of
criticality for each facility to maintain the desired level of service for a designated emergency
event. The analysis will determine the ability of critically designated pump stations to supply
storage tanks and customers, both retail and wholesale. Results of the analysis will provide
a ranking of importance for critical facilities and associated loads with respect to water demand
supplied and required power needed for operation.
ENGINEER will evaluate the use of portable generators in the distribution system to respond
to an emergency event. Portable generators will be evaluated that are capable of servicing
multiple sites, including existing portable generators and the sites they can currently be
deployed to. Other considerations for the use of portable generators include response time
to critical facilities and evaluation of procedures and protocols related to operation and
maintenance of the portable generators. A maximum of two transportation paths will be
analyzed for portable generator deployment.
ENGINEER will analyze the use of the CITY's existing on-site electrical generation at critical
facilities (WTP's and pump stations) and the evaluation of the procedures and protocols
related to operation and maintenance of the on-site generator equipment. ENGINEER will
also identify the WTP's with dual feed power suppliers and make recommendations (if
needed) to maintain power as much as possible.
ENGINEER will evaluate the potential need for added water storage in the distribution
system to maintain the desired level of service to customers, both retail and wholesale.
ENGINEER will develop a communication plan for FWW staff to assist with customer
notification and messaging.
ENGINEER will conduct up to three (3) meetings with FWW staff to solicit input and provide
comments on the analyses and study report deliverables.
ENGINEER will prepare and submit the following deliverables associated with this task:
• TCEQ Emergency Preparedness Plan
o ENGINEER will utilize the TCEQ published template for this deliverable
• Summary report documenting the analyses, results, and recommendations from this
task.
The CITY will have the opportunity review all report deliverables and provide comments to be
addressed by the ENGINEER. ENGINEER will provide electronic PDF copies of the reports
and up to 20 printed copies, if requested.

LOG NAME: 60WSGEN&EMERPLAN-FNI
SUBJECT:
(CD 3 and CD 9) Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc., in the
Amount of$1,215,325.00, for the Westside Water Treatment Plant Generators and Emergency Preparation
Plan for Power Generation at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Plants Project, Adopt Attached
Resolution Expressing Official Intent to Reimburse Expenditures with Proceeds of Future Debt, and Adopt
Attached Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Authorize execution of an engineering agreement with Freese & Nichols, Inc., in the amount of
$1,215,325.00, for the Westside Water Treatment Plant Generators and Emergency Preparation
Plan for Power Generation at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Plants project;
2. Adopt the attached resolution expressing official intent to reimburse expenditures with proceeds
from future debt for the Westside Water Treatment Plant Generators and Emergency Preparation
Plan for Power Generators at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Plants project; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting receipts and appropriations in the Water and
Sewer Commercial Paper Fund in the amount of$1,320,325.00, by increasing appropriations in the
Westside Water Treatment Plant Generators and Emergency Preparation Plan for Power
Generation at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Plants project (City Project No. 103410)
and decreasing appropriations in the Unspecified project (City Project No. UNSPEC) by the same
amount.
DISCUSSION:
The February 2021 Deep Freeze caused power failures to Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant
(EMWTP), the Westside Water Treatment Plant (WSWTP) and affected the North and South Holly Water
Treatment Plants, along with power and freezing issues at some pump stations. In response to the power
outages, the Water Department is implementing a series of projects to minimize the effects of future power
failures and/or freezing problems on Water Facilities. In addition, the State of Texas has passed as
law Senate Bill 3 (SB3) requiring that an Emergency Preparedness Plan be submitted by March 1, 2022.
The proposed scope of services for this project included:
• Preparation of the regulatory required SB3 Emergency Preparedness Plan by March 1, 2022, for
responding to extended electric power failures,
• Design and preparation of construction documents for the installation of emergency electric
generators at the Westside Water Treatment Plant, and
• Study and prepare plans for emergency power at the North and South Holly Water Treatment
Plants.
Freese & Nichols proposes to perform the necessary services for a fee not to exceed $1,215,325,00. Staff
considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the services proposed. In addition to the contract amount,
$105,000.00 is required for project management.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund.
Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation
authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide interim
financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds
will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the
attached Reimbursement Resolution. Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three
years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds, but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt
bond proceeds.
