If executed, this contract will provide for compliance investigations. Since Fiscal Year 1991 and 1992, the City of Fort Worth (City) has entered into an annual Agreement with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for the City to provide certain air pollution control services within Fort Worth.
