DISCUSSION
On April 20, 1997, the uninterruptible power supply (UPS? system that backs up the 9-1-1
calltaker and Police dispatch consoles failed as the result of a lightning strike near the Bolt Street
Communications Complex The UPS failure in turn caused the 9-1-1 and Police dispatch
functions to fail within the Bolt Street facility Implementation of various emergency procedures,
including the switchover of 9-1-1 calltaking to the City of Arlington and relocation of Fort Worth
calltakers and Police dispatchers to the back-up facility at City Hall was successful, and no
answerable emergency calls to Fort Worth 9-1-1 were missed
The old UPS had been in service for over 10 years, and power failure due to lighting strikes
caused significant damage to the unit Future repairs to the unit could not be guaranteed due
to scarcity of available parts It was therefore determined that replacement of the UPS on an
emergency basis was necessary to prevent a recurrence of the April 20 incident The quoted
price was for the removal of the old unit and installation of the new, fully operational unit no later
than Tuesday, April 29 This unit will be used exclusively to support Police 9-1-1 and
dispatching operations
The Department of Law was informed and concurred with the emergency purchase on April 24,
1997
