Backup Generators project;

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 supply and freezing issues at some pump stations. In
response to the power outages, the Water Department implemented a series of projects to minimize the effects of future power failures and/or
freezing temperatures on Water Facilities. In addition, the State of Texas enacted a law, Senate Bill 3 (SB3), requiring the submittal of an
Emergency Preparedness Plan by March 1, 2022.
The Westside Water Treatment Plant Backup Generators project was advertised on December 2, 2021 and December 9, 2021 in the Fort Worth
