Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Toledo Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 927, Section 927.13, and Part Nine, Title Three, Appendix C, Section 100.07, when a building is demolished or when a sewer or water service is otherwise taken out of service, the applicable connection to the public sewer or water system must be properly disconnected, abandoned, plugged, or “abandoned” at the tapping or opening into the public sewer or water main. The Division of Sewer and Drainage Services requires competitively procured unit-based contract(s) to perform these sanitary sewer and water service abandonments for City of Toledo projects and private demolition projects. Contractors shall be selected through a competitive bidding or procurement process consistent with Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 187 and all other applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations.
