January – March 2014
Integrated Pipeline Project
The Integrated Pipeline (IPL) is a regional partnership for water supply between Tarrant Regional Water
District (TRWD) and the City of Dallas Water Utilities (DWU). This vital project exhibits a commitment
by two of the region’s largest water providers to meet water demands for an increasing population in
the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
When completed, the IPL will extend approximately 150 miles from Lake Palestine to Lake Benbrook
interconnecting Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers reservoirs. Raw water delivery capabilities for both
agencies will increase by a combined 350 million gallons per day (MGD), providing operational
flexibility, energy efficiency, and construction cost savings to the more than 5 million existing residents.
Fair Opportunity Purchasing and Contracting
Policy
TRWD and DWU are committed to promoting the
utilization of Minority/Women Owned Business
Enterprises
(M/WBE)
and
Historically
Underutilized Business (HUB). In a concerted
effort, the IPL Fair Opportunity Purchasing and
Contracting (FOPC) Policy was developed to
encourage procurement of goods, equipment
and services through M/WBE|HUB Contractors
and vendors.
The FOPC policy establishes the following
primary program goals:
• A 25% g o o d f a i t h e f f o r t for all phases of
the project;
• Develop opportunities for M/WBE|HUB
companies;
• Create networking opportunities to
encourage prime and sub-contractors
teaming agreements;
• Sponsor or identify training programs or
events to increase firm capabilities and
services;
• Assist eligible firms in obtaining certifications
through identified registration authorities;
• Coordinate efforts between TRWD and DWU,
as well as local chambers, advocacy groups,
local trade organizations and other small
business enterprise assistance agencies in
order to increase local business utilization.
Public Outreach Program
A list of programs currently in effect with a brief
description is provided below:
Consultant Liaison Program
On a monthly basis, a representative of the
Public Outreach staff contacts M/WBE firms
currently under contract for the IPL Project. The
primary objective of the Liaison Program is to
ensure that M/WBE firms are having a good
experience with the IPL. The Liaison Team
provides assistance or training for these subconsultants. Another focus of the Liaison
Program is to provide a connection to the IPL
Project team and to encourage identification of
needs that sub-contractors may have in regard to
the IPL.
Networking Program
Networking events are planned to create
opportunities for M/WBE|HUB firms to maximize
potential teaming opportunities. Similar events
sponsored by local agencies are identified and
attended to increase IPL opportunities within the
local community.
Public Outreach Pre-Screening Program
As the IPL Project team prepares for
construction, the pre-screening program identifies
sub-contractors that have specific capabilities
and/or services required for large pipeline and
pump station construction. The information for
this will be available for potential prime
contractors in order to better match project
needs with firm capabilities to further encourage
M/WBE|HUB firm utilization.
