Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with Woolpert, Inc. for the completion of the 2025 Impervious Surface Mapping Update; authorizing the expenditure in an amount not to exceed $85,000 from the Stormwater Utility Improvement Fund; waiving the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Stormwater Utility charges a stormwater fee for properties with impervious surfaces within the City of Toledo. Residential Customers (single family homes and duplexes) are billed at a flat rate of 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU), while non-residential customers are billed based on a measurement of the impervious surfaces on their property. The impervious surface of each non-residential property was digitally traced (digitized) into GIS using an aerial photo background to obtain the square footage. These measurements are scheduled to be updated every three years when the city obtains new orthoimagery.
This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of funds for updating the impervious surface mapping to ensure consistent and fair stormwater billing to all City of Toledo residents as well as authorizes the Mayor waive competitive bidding and award the contract to Woolpert, Inc. utilizing state term pricing. This project shall also provide a delineated sidewalk layer to be used for planning purposes.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a contract with Woolpert, Inc. under Ohio State Term Contract pricing for professional services necessary to complete the 2025 Impervious Surface Mapping Update upon terms and conditions as the Mayor may deem requisite and proper, subject to approval by the Department of Law and the Director of Transportation.
SECTION 2. That an amount not to exceed $85,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Storm Water Utility Improvement Fund Account Code 607B-35000-4UC3623STDSTD for the services described in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that Woolpert, Inc. is currently working with the City on another phase of this project and keeping this phase with the same vendor will ensure consistency and uniformity throughout the entire project.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to issue their warrant or warrants against the Account Code listed in Section 2, in an amount not to exceed $85,000, in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance is authorized at project closeout.
SECTION 6. 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 this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to permit the earliest possible start of the 2025 Impervious Surface Mapping Update.
