Body
BACKGROUND
During the February 2021 winter storm, the City was unable to open recreation centers and libraries as warming centers for residents impacted by rolling power outages because the facilities were also impacted. In addition, several City of Dallas facilities were damaged when normal utility power was not available for several days causing pipes to burst.
Eight locations were identified by staff using equity, demographic and other data along with input from the City Council. The selected locations provide a site within relatively close proximity to all areas of the city:
• Audelia Road Branch Library, 10045 Audelia Road, - 200 kW generator
• Beckley-Saner Recreation Center, 114 West Hobson Avenue - 400 kW generator
• Jaycee Zaragoza Recreation Center, 3114 Clymer Street - 300 kW generator
• Kleberg-Rylie Branch Library, 1515 Edd Road - 150 kW generator
• Marcus Park Recreation Center, 3003 Northaven Road - 250 kW generator
• Mountain Creek Library, 6102 Mountain Creek Parkway - 150 kW generator
• Pleasant Oaks Recreation Center, 8701 Greenmound Avenue - 350 kW generator
• Timberglen Recreation Center, 3810 Timberglen Road - 250 kW generator
On September 9, 2021, City Council authorized a service contract for the purchase and installation of eight generators at designated City facilities to provide warming/cooling centers for Dallas residents in the event of extended power outages during severe weather. Multiple facilities are scheduled to begin site preparations in February with completion to coincide with generator deliveries which are anticipated to occur between late winter and early spring.
Each of the generators will be EPA Certified Tier IV, for lower emissions in keeping with the City of Dallas’ commitment to reducing emissions and environmental impacts for the benefit of Dallas residents and the region. Generators have been sized to correspond with each facility’s power needs.
The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) agreement is authorized by Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Subchapter F, Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code. Section 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes a local government to participate in a Cooperative Purchasing Program with another local government or a local cooperative organization.
Generator manufacturing is a months-long process and the original contract served to initiate the production to begin as soon as possible, specifying that the facility electrical infrastructure upgrades and site work would be addressed separately. This amendment contract will provide for the facility electrical infrastructure upgrades and site work to accommodate generator installation at each of the eight designated facilities.
