Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $400,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of snow plow storage racks; authorizing the mayor to accept bids and enter into contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance (R&BM) is responsible for clearing and maintaining roadways within the city of Toledo during all snow and ice events. Most of the trucks that are used for the snow and ice program are equipped with removable plows. In an effort to help maintain and store the snow plows in the off-season in a safe and organized manner, the division is seeking to purchase a snow plow storage rack system. This storage rack system will allow each plow to be stored on a heavy-duty pallet which will then be stored on a heavy-duty shelf system. This system will also make it much safer for personnel to move the snow plows around the facility when installing them onto and off trucks.
Bids will be taken for a storage system for three (3) buildings. The R&BM Central Ave facility will have a storage system to manage up forty-two (42) plows while the Byrne Rd facility and Water St. facility location will both manage up to twenty (20) plows each.
