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;

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.
Funding for the Westside Generators and Emergency Preparation Plan project is depicted below:
