Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Reclamation (Division) contracted with Arcadis to perform Program Management of the View Water Reclamation Facility Improvement Program under Ordinance 96-25. Reynolds Area Pump Station Improvements (Improvement 67), is a high priority project of the Program and is ready to move to final design and construction.
The Division has decided to implement this project using the Progressive Design Build (PDB) delivery method as allowed under Ohio Revised Code Sections 153.501-153.503 and 153.65-153.72, and Ohio Administrative Code Section 153:1. PDB projects involve hiring a design-builder to design the project and then proceed directly into construction, which can result in cost and schedule savings compared to the typical design-bid-build process. In accordance with the ORC, the Division issued a Request for Qualifications on November 7, 2025 and subsequentially qualified the two submitting firms to submit detailed proposals on March 31, 2026. The Division’s Selection Committee reviewed the two proposals and is recommending proceeding with Kokosing Industrial, Inc. This ordinance will authorize entering into a loan agreement with the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund and Ohio Water Development Authority and appropriating loan proceeds in an amount of $1,729,357 to cover pre-construction (design) services.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to apply for, enter into agreements, and accept a loan from the Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) and the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) and to deposit loan proceeds in an amount not to exceed $1,729,357 into the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund, Account Code 673L-36000-4UL2326STDSTD, for Improvement 67.
SECTION 2. That the appropriation of $1,729,357 is authorized from the unappropriated loan proceeds in the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Loan Fund to Account Code 673L-36000-4UL2326STDSTD; and further authorizing the expenditure of the same amount for Improvement 67.
SECTION 3. That the Mayor is authorized to accept proposals and bids and enter into contracts for the Improvement 67 using the Progressive Design Build delivery method as provided for by Ohio Revised Code Sections 153.501-153.503 and 153.65-153.72, and Ohio Administrative Code Section 153:1, upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
