DISCUSSION; In November 2002, the Fnrt Worth Water Department completed a Vulnerability Assessment of its facilities in conformance with requirements set out in the Public Health, Security, and l3ioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002. The Vulnerability Assessment identified areas where security measures should be enhanced at various Fort Werth 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 far improvements identified as Priority 2 and 3 in the Vulnerability Assessment. These improvements are Logname: 60SIEMENS Pagc I of 3 designed to increase security by providing a closed circuit camera {CCTV) system around the perimeter of Water Department facilities, card access controls at critical buildings and IT equipment rooms, and an intelligent video management system to better manage video data. In 2005 the Water ©epartment was successful in securing a Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program {LETPP) grant through the Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $318,740 to Gaver the Gast of equipment and installation of an intelligent video management system at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Plants. The bid package for the Phase I! Security Improvement Program included a base bid for improvements at North and South Holly, improvements at the Lake Worth Dam, and an equipment shelter to house the electronic equipment required for the CCTV and intelligent video management systems. Alternate bids included similar improvements at the remaining treatment plants and critical pump stations. In reviewing the bids, the decision was made to only award the base bid and delete the equipment shelter. Since the equipment shelter was sized to accommodate all of the electronic equipment necessary to operate the security systems at ail of the Water Department facilities, it is oat necessary to install it as part of this project. Electronic equipment required to support the base bid will be installed at existing Water Department facilities. Due to the security nature of this project, bidding was done in two phases. The first phase involved an invitation to pre qualify. This notice went out on January 19 and January 26, 2006. On February 23, 2006 the pre-qualification forms were received and opened.
