NO
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize a Purchase Agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for a Fire Suppression
System to Support the Information Technology Solutions Department Disaster Recovery
Site in the Amount of $281,226.00 Using a Cooperative Agreement for a Period of Three
Years; the Project is in the Approved Five Year IT Capital Plan Using American Rescue
Plan Act Funding
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize a purchase agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. for a
fire suppression system to support the Information Technology Solutions Department Disaster
Recovery Site in the amount of $281,226.00 using cooperative agreement Sourcewell No. 030421-SIE
for a period of three years.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth Information Technology Solutions Department (ITS) maintains a central data
center with a secondary site for disaster recovery should an unforeseen event render the central data
center inoperative. The secondary site/disaster recovery data center is located at Eagle Mountain
Water Treatment Plant.
Staff recommends installing a gaseous fire suppression system to protect the equipment installed in
this facility. The new system will be similar to the system installed at the City Hall data center using
Novec 1230, a clean agent fire suppressant that leaves behind no residue and is not electrically
conductive. The installation will include the tanks for the gas to be located within the protected
space, the required piping, alarm panel and manual abort stations located at each exit door.
The purchase agreement with Siemens includes three years of Central Station Monitoring and a three-
year Service Agreement. The cost of the Siemens proposal is $266,226.00 and ITS is requesting
authorization with this Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) for additional $15,000.00 in
contingency for possible equipment price increases. If approved, the construction and implementation
of the fire suppression system at the Eagle Mountain disaster recovery site is expected to take
approximately four months to complete. The project is in the approved five year IT Capital Plan using
American Rescue Plan Act funding.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE: State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies State laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. Cooperative contracts have been competitively bid to
increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.
SUCCESSOR CONTRACTS: In the event the Sourcewell Purchasing Contract No. 030421-SIE is not
renewed, staff would cease purchasing at the end of the last purchase agreement coinciding with a
valid Sourcewell agreement. If the City Council were to not appropriate funds for a future year, staff
would stop making purchases when the last appropriation expires, regardless of whether the then -
current purchase agreement has expired.
The City will initially use the Sourcewell contract to make purchases authorized by this M&C. The
Cooperative Contract is set to expire on April 22, 2025. If Sourcewell 030421-SIE is extended, this

M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and supplies under the extended contract. If
Sourcewell 030421-SIE is not extended but Sourcewell executes a new cooperative contract with
Siemens Industry, Inc. and with substantially similar terms, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase
the services under the new Sourcewell contract. If this occurs, in no event with the City continue to
purchase services under the new agreement for more than three (3) years without seeking Council
approval.
Funding is budgeted in the Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund for the purpose of funding the ARPA for
ITS Initiatives project as appropiated.
BUSINESS EQUITY: A goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.
AGREEMENT TERM: Upon City Council approval, the Agreement will become effective and expire
April 22, 2025, in accordance with the Sourcewell contract.
RENEWAL OPTIONS: The agreement may be renewed for one additional one-year term in
accordance with the Sourcewell contract. This action does not require specific City Council approval
provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during
the renewal term.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the Grants Cap Projects Federal Fund for the ARPA for ITS Initiatives project to
support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement. Prior to any
expenditure being incurred, the Information Technology Solutions Department has the responsibility to
validate the availability of funds.
