D[SCl1SSiOIV: In November 2002, the Fort Worth Water Department completed a Vulnerability Assessment of its facilities in conformance with requirements set out in the Public Health, Security, and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002. The Vulnerability Assessment identified areas where security measures should be enhanced at various Fort Worth 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 for improvements identified as Priority 2 and 3 in the Vulnerability Assessment. These improvements are Lognanae: 50SIEMENS Page 1 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 Department 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 cover the cost 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 Il Security Improvement Program included a base bid far 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 all of the Water Department facilities, it is not 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, 20D6. On February 23, 200fi the pre qualification forms were received and opened. Seven contractors' submitted farms and all seven were pre-qualified. On August 2, 2D06 the pre-qualified contractors were mailed copies of plans and specifications. On September 7, 2DD6 the fallowing bids were received: BIDDERS BASE BID EQUIPMENT SHELTER NET BID Siemens $3,258,546A0 $1,229,297.0(3 $2,029,249.00 ADT Security $3,656,182.00 $1,187,030.00 $2,469,152.00 Johnson Controls $3,666,719.00 $1,152,538.00 $2,514,181.00 The proposed contract with Siemens Building Technologies, inc., will include the installation of a closed circuit TV system, card access at key buildings, and an intelligent video management system at the North and South Holly Water Treatment Facilities.
