Title
Authorizing the expenditure of $95,650 from the Street Construction, Maintenance & Repair Fund for purchase of trucks; authorizing the disappropriation and appropriation of funds in the division of Transportation Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair budget for said purchase; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Transportation’s Traffic Signals Operation is in need of a pickup truck for the 24-hour operation of maintaining the city’s 496 traffic signalized intersections. The pickup truck is used in everyday operations for hauling equipment and supplies to and from intersections. The division’s current pickup truck was totaled in an accident in March 2018, which directly impacts the ability to transport material to and from jobs. This vehicle will enable Traffic Signal personnel to be more efficient in the response to traffic signal repairs, installation and preventive maintenance of the city of Toledo’s signalized intersections. The Sign Shop is in need of an emergency barricade truck for emergency calls. The vehicle is used daily to haul barricades and proper signs for road closures and special events. This vehicle will enable the Sign Shop to be more efficient in the response of emergency (fire, high water, etc.) closures. This vehicle is replacing a 1987 stake truck that was taken out of service by Fleet Operations. This Ordinance authorizes the expenditures from the Street Construction, Maintenance & Repair Fund. The total amount to be spent for the vehicles is not to exceed $95,650.
