Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The Engineering and Construction Management Division is partially funded by the Water Operating and Sewer Operating funds to support the design and construction of water mains and sanitary sewer lines throughout the City of Toledo.  The division had awarded contracts authorized through Ord. 477-20 and Ord. 278-23 using funds that were approved and available in their 2023 operating budget.  The contracts were not able to be completed as planned before the end of 2023 and thus not included in the 2024 operating budget.  This ordinance will provide the budget necessary to complete the contracts.
