Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $300,000 from the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund for the Plant Pumps, Motors & Valves Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Water Reclamation Plant; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for equipment rebuilds with nonproprietary parts or equipment replacement and for related professional, engineering, permitting, testing and construction services; waiving the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for proprietary parts and equipment necessary for the completion of the Plant Pumps, Motors & Valves Rebuild/Replacement Project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Bay View Water Reclamation Plant houses the traditional treatment facilities which can handle up to 195 million gallons per day, and the wet weather treatment facilities which can handle up to 205 million gallons per day. The Plant as well as the outside pump stations employ numerous pumps, valves, gates, motors, actuators, etc. The condition of some of the equipment used in the treatment facilities to maintain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance is of great concern. Various improvements to these components throughout the facilities need to be undertaken to maintain a reliable wastewater treatment system. The Division intends to seek formal as well as informal proposals for rebuilding and/or replacing pumps, valves, gates, motors, actuators, etc. as needed in order to maintain compliance with the Plant’s NPDES discharge permit and to provide the necessary redundancy of such equipment at the Plant. Some equipment will require proprietary parts for rebuild and others can only be purchased from authorized sole sources. For that, the Division is requesting a waiver of all competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the appropriation of $300,000 from the unappropriated balance of the Sewer Replacement Fund is authorized to Account Code 6073-36000-4UC2025STDSTD for the Plant Pumps, Motors & Valves Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Water Reclamation Plant; and the expenditure of the same is authorized.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts for equipment rebuilds, equipment replacement and for professional, engineering, permitting, testing and construction services necessary for the completion of the Plant Pumps, Motors & Valves Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Water Reclamation Plant, upon terms and conditions approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.

SECTION 5. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance is authorized at project closeout.
