Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of an amount not to exceed $350,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the repair of a water line break at Imagination Station; authorizing the Mayor to waive the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; authorizing the Mayor to enter into contract with Kokosing Construction Company for the repairs; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 2025, there was a break to the private water line at Imagination Station. City crews were on site immediately, and shut off the water to prevent damage to the building and exhibits. After further investigation as to the cause, it was determined a new water line will need to be installed. As the property owner, it is our responsibility to install a new water line to the building. This work cannot be done by city crews and requires the expertise of an outside contractor. After soliciting quotes, the city has made the decision to proceed with Kokosing Construction Company. Kokosing offered the lowest price and had immediate availability to begin the work.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $350,000 is appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the Capital Improvement Fund to account code 5040-26100- 8CP2404HVACMA and expenditure of same is authorized for the repair of the private water line at Imagination Station.
