This Ordinance authorizes expending an amount not to exceed $2,075,000 from the appropriated CIP funds for the purchase of non-emergency vehicles and equipment. Anticipated equipment to be purchased and estimated prices are below:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

 

SECTION 1.  That an amount not to exceed $2,075,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund, Account Code 5040-25000-8CP2213VEHCTY for the purchase of non-emergency vehicles and equipment for the City of Toledo fleet.

 

SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts, utilize cooperative purchasing agreements or enter into contracts where competitive procurement has been waived in accordance with Section 3 for the purchase of vehicles and equipment, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Public Service.

 

SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive procurement requirements of Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 187 for the purchase of the subject equipment considering limited availability in the prevailing equipment supply-chain market and where the Director of Public Service further finds and determines that the subject equipment is not available utilizing competitive procurement and the cost thereof is deemed competitive and reasonable. 

 

SECTION 4.                     That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the Account Codes above in payment of the above authorized obligations in an amount not to exceed $2,075,000 upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.

 

SECTION 5.                     That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to allow the timely replacement of non-emergency vehicles and equipment.
