FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER All
MEETING DATE: JU-L-Y-3; 2001— 9 t 6, sco r
SUBJECT: APPROVE ELECTRICAL UPGRADE BY TXU
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of the expenditure of $140,280.00 for primary electrical
service upgrades to the water and wastewater treatment plants.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available as follows:
Water Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund 200-43360-534-0 $73,000.00
Wastewater Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund 200-43370-534-0 $67,280.00
BACKGROUND:
The Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants receives electrical service from the Ball
Street electrical substation. When service is interrupted due to equipment failure,
weather events, etc. the plants are rendered inoperative.
The continuous operation of both plants is critical to the health and welfare of the
citizens of Grapevine. During the peak summer water production months, even brief
periods of power outage could jeopardize our ability to provide water to our customers.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant is equally as vulnerable. Without electrical power, the
plant has a very short time frame before the treatment process is jeopardized.
Staff began working with TXU last year to seek a solution. TXU proposed providing a
dual electrical feed into each plant location. The dual feed entailed extending service
lines from another electrical substation to each plant. This would provide backup service
in the event of a power outage resulting from a problem at the Ball Street substation.
The initial cost was in excess of $250,000.00. TXU and City staff were able to lower the
actual cost to $140,280.00. TXU is the only provider of electrical service to the Water
and Wastewater Treatment Plants and this solution was deemed justifiable. Staff
recommends approval.
