several years The City is now developing annexation plans that indicate that Fort Worth will continue
to grow for at least the foreseeable future

Council approved a thorough review of each City department to look at enhancing the competitiveness

City and the Fire Department to ensure the most effective and efficient means of service delivery

On September 28, 2001, three proposals were received in response to the RFP Of the three, two
proposers were asked to make an oral presentation to the evaluation committee After extensive
analysis, TriData Corporation has been selected by the evaluation committee as the preferred proposer
to conduct the Fire Department study
