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(S133),requiring the submittal of an
Emergency Preparedness Plan by March 1,2022.
On June 22,2021,Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)21-0480 authorized an engineering agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (City
Secretary Contract No.55946)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.
The original scope of service included the following: Preparation of the 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 a plan for emergency power at the North and South Holly Water
Treatment Plants.
The agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 in the amount of$17,802.00 administratively authorized November 4,2021 to
provide for additional coordination and review of ONCOR's design load sheet for an electrical service connection on the west property line of the
Eagle Mountain Water Treatment Plant,and Amendment No.2 in the amount of$1,585,391.00(M&C 22-0101, February 8,2022)to provide
for design, bid,and construction phase services for backup power including electrical switchgear and generators in order to maintain functionality
of these assets in the event of future deep freezes at the following Water Department pump stations:Alta Mesa, Edwards Ranch, Eastside and
Como.The amendment also allowed for construction phase services for the installation of Westside Water Treatment Plant Backup Generators
project.
Amendment No.3 will allow for design,bid,and construction phase services for the installation of emergency back-up power consisting of
generators and electrical switchgear at the North and South Holly Water Treatment plants.The proposed scope of services include the sizing and
siting of the generators and all electrical gear necessary for support,site improvements including grading and fencing/security and construction
phase services.
Freese& Nichols, Inc. proposes to perform the additional services for a fee not to exceed$1,845,867.00.Staff considers the fee to be fair and
reasonable for the services proposed. In addition to the amendment amount,$100,000.00 is necessary for material testing.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program(CIP)plan throughout the fiscal year,instead of within
the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence,additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants.The actions in
the M&C will appropriate funds in support of the Water's portion of the City of Fort Worth's Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program,

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.
Business Equity—Freese and Nichols, Inc.agrees to maintain its initial MMBE commitment of eight percent that it made on the original
agreement and extend and maintain that same MNVBE commitment of eight percent to all prior amendments up to and inclusive of this
Amendment No.3.Therefore Freese and Nichols, Inc.remains in compliance with the City's Business Equity Ordinance and attests to its
commitment by its signature on the Acceptance of Previous MMBE Commitment form executed by an authorized representative of its company.
The project is located in Council Districts 3,6,8 and 9.
