Tawakoni Water Treatment Plant Emergency Backup Power

The North Texas Municipal Water District is seeking qualified vendors to construct emergency backup power infrastructure at two key locations: the HSPS on the north end of the property and the WTP facility. The project requires the installation of two generators, two switchgears, and one transformer, with one set at each location, and includes connecting the new equipment to the Main SWGR at the WTP Reclaimed Water, Wash Water, and Plant Water Pump Station. Additional work involves constructing a proposed access drive and sidewalk around the equipment to ensure safe and efficient operation and maintenance. The project also mandates updates to the SCADA system to integrate and monitor the new generators, transformer, and automatic transfer switch gear. The estimated option price range for this initiative is $15 to $20 million. The solicitation, identified as 26-161-CIP, was posted on July 2, 2026, with responses due by August 13, 2026. All work will be performed in Texas under the oversight of the North Texas Municipal Water District, with Polly Pritchard serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Bidders must be prepared to meet technical specifications for power system integration, site accessibility, and SCADA compatibility, while adhering to the district’s construction and operational standards. The project represents a critical infrastructure upgrade to ensure uninterrupted water treatment operations during power outages.
