RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with
Johnson Controls, Inc., for the construction of the Phase IIB Security Improvements at the Village
Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant in the amount of $1 ,282 ,220.00 .
DISCUSSION:
In November 2002 , the Fort Worth Water Department completed a Vulnerability Assessment
(Assessment) of its facilities in conformance with requirements set out in the Public Health , Security
and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 . The Assessment identified areas where
security measures should be enhanced at various Fort Worth Water Department facilities. These
security mitigation and enhancement programs were then prioritized based on their risk reduction
capabilities and organized into a multi-year improvement program .
On January 4 , 2005 , CH2M Hill was awarded an engineering contract to develop plans and
specifications for improvements identified as Priority 2 and Priority 3 in the Assessment. These
improvements are designed to increase security by providing a closed circuit camera (CCTV) systerr
around the perimeter of Water Department facilities , card access controls at critical buildings , IT
equipment rooms and an intelligent video management system to better manage video data.
In 2008 , the Water Department was successful in securing a Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention
Program (LETPP) grant through the Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $422 ,374 .0C
to cover the cost of equipment and installation of an intelligent video management system at the
Village Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant.

by the successful bidder or the City will become the time of completion specified in the
Contract Documents .
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the time specified in
the Contract Documents , or increased time granted by the Owner, or as automatically
increased by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the sum per
day given in the following schedule , unless otherwise specified in other parts of the

Safety and Health Administration Standards, 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart P-
Excavations, are hereby made a part of this specification and shall be the minimum
governing requirements for trench safety.
3. DEFINITIONS:
A. TRENCHES: A trench is referred to as a narrow excavation made below the
surface of the ground in which the depth is greater than the width, where the width
measured at the bottom is not greater than fifteen ( 15) feet. If forms or other
structures are installed or constructed in an excavation so as to reduce the
dimension measured from the forms or structure to the side of the excavation to
fifteen (15) feet or less at the bottom of the excavation, the excavation is also
considered to be a trench .
B. BENCHING SYSTEM: Benching means excavating the sides of a trench to
form one or a series of horizontal levels or steps, usually with vertical or near-
vertical surfaces between levels.
C . SLOPING SYSTEM: Sloping means excavating to form sides of a trench that
are inclined away from the excavation.
D. SHIELD SYSTEM: Shields used in trenches are generally referred to as "trench
boxes" or "trench shields." Shield means a structure that is able to withstand the
forces imposed on it by a cave-in and protect workers within the structure . Shields
can be permanent structures or can be designed to be portable and move along as
the work progresses. Shields can be either premanufactured or job-built in
accordance with OSHA standards .
E. SHORING SYSTEM: Shoring means a structure such as a metal hydraulic,
mechanical or timber system that supports the sides of a trench and which is
designed to prevent cave-ins. Shoring systems are generally comprised of
crossbraces, vertical rails (uprights), horizontal rails (wales) and/or sheeting.
4. MEASUREMENT: Trench depth is the vertical measurement from the top of the
existing ground to the bottom of the pipe or structures. The quantity of trench safety
systems shall be based on the linear foot amount of trench depth greater than five (5)
feet.
5. PAYMENT: Separate payment will be made only when trench excavations exceed

D-55 TEMPORARY SOIL EROSION SEDIMENT AND WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL:
1. DESCRIPTION: This item shall consist of temporary soil erosion sediment and water
pollution control measures deemed necessary by the Engineer for the duration of the
contract. These control measures shall at no time be used as a substitute for the
permanent control measures unless otherwise directed by the Engineer and they shall
not include measures taken by the CONTRACTOR to control conditions created by his
construction operations. The temporary measures shall include dikes, dams, berms,
sediment basins, fiber mats, jute netting, temporary seeding, straw mulch, asphalt
mulch, plastic liners, rubble liners, baled-hay retards, dikes, slope drains and other
devices.
2. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: The Engineer has the authority to define
erodible earth and the authority to limit the surface area of erodible-earth material
exposed by preparing right-of-way, clearing and grubbing, the surface area of erodible-
earth material exposed by excavation, borrow and to direct the CONTRACTOR to
provide temporary pollution-control measures to prevent contamination of adjacent
streams, other water courses, lakes, ponds or other areas of water impoundment. Such
work may involve the construction of temporary berms, dikes, dams, sediment basins,
slope drains and use of temporary mulches, mats seeding or other control devices or
methods directed by the Engineer as necessary to control soil erosion. Temporary
pollution-control measures shall be used to prevent or correct erosion that may develop
during construction prior to installation of permanent pollution-control features, but are
not associated with permanent control features on the project.
The Engineer will limit the area of preparing right of way, clearing and grubbing,
excavation and borrow to be proportional to the CONTRACTOR'S capability and
progress in keeping the finish grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent
pollution-control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule. Should
seasonal conditions make such limitations unrealistic, temporary soil-erosion-control
measures shall be performed as directed by the Engineer. The amount of surface area of
erodible-earth material exposed at one time shall not exceed 750,000 square feet for
each excavation operation, 750 ,000 square feet for each material source operation (other
than from commercially operated sources), 750,000 square feet for each preparing of
right-of-way operation or 750,000 square feet for each clearing and grubbing operation,
unless otherwise shown on the plans or with prior approval by the Engineer in writing.
The CONTRACTOR shall also conform to the following practices and controls. All
labor, tools, equipment and incidentals to complete the work will not be paid for directly
but shall be considered as subsidiary work to the various items included in the contract.
