Title

Authorizing the mayor to enter into contracts for the purchase of capital equipment; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $411,000 from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund for the purchase of said capital equipment; waiving competitive procurement provisions of the TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The Division of Road and Bridge Maintenance is responsible for maintenance and repair of all streets and alleys within the City of Toledo. Guardrail maintenance has also become one of the top priorities of the division. To also help make our city right of ways look clean our division is working hard at cleaning and removing overgrowth from around city guardrails. By doing this it not only makes the right of way look clean but it also allows crews to have better access to maintain the guardrail. The purchase of one (1) Fecon FMX36EXC Mulcher will allow the division to safely remove overgrowth from around guardrail.

 

Also requesting the purchase of two (2) Case 580sn Backhoe Loaders that will be used primarily in the Utility Restoration program. These backhoe loaders will be replacing two (2) loaders that were purchased in 2008. It is the intent to trade in the old backhoe loaders for the new loaders.

 

Requesting the purchase of two (2) Eager Beaver 20XPT Trailers that will be used to transport the new backhoe loaders. By trailering the loaders, it is safer for the operator to get from job site to job site. This also reduces the maintenance and fuel costs of each backhoe loader.

 

Requesting the purchase of six (6) K&K Systems AT254896 Fold-n-Go 25-Lamp Arrow Boards. Arrow boards are used to set safe traffic patterns. The purchase of these arrow boards will be replacements to existing boards that have since been taken out of service due to damage or maintenance needs.

 

Requesting the purchase of three (3) new KM International 4-Ton Asphalt Hot Box Trailers. These asphalt hot box trailers will be replacements to older units in the division inventory. Asphalt hot box trailers are used year-round for the pothole patching program. In the winter months they help prevent the cold patch material from freezing and making it unable to use.

 

Lastly, requesting the purchase of one (1) KM International Crack Maintenance Equipment Trailer. This trailer is equipped with a rubber melting kettle, crack preparation tool and a rubber applicator kettle. This equipment will allow crews to have the necessary equipment on one trailer to repair pavement cracks on city streets.

 

This expenditure is included in the Division’s 2022 operating budget. All pricing is considered estimated and could change due to today’s economic condition.
