Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for the rebuild of a 2012 CAT D6 Dirt Dozer; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $226,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund; waiving the competitive procurement requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 186-23 authorized the expenditure of $3,000,000 for non-public safety related vehicles and equipment. After purchases were made, some equipment came in under budget. This Ordinance authorizes expending the remaining funds for the rebuild of a 2012 CAT D6 Dirt Dozer for the Hoffman Road Landfill. The dozer has approximately 11,500 hours and is currently inoperable because of critical failure of major components. The division requested funds to rebuild the dozer in 2025, however the critical failure of major components has accelerated this need.
This is the only dirt dozer the landfill has and is used to apply transitional cover and complete routine grading and erosion repairs at the landfill. Ohio CAT has offered the city a free dirt dozer rental for use during the rebuild time which is estimated at approximately four months. This rebuild will be certified by CAT and includes a three-year/5,000-hour warranty and one-year of preventative maintenance service.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with Ohio CAT for the rebuild of a CAT D6 Dirt Dozer upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Public Service and the Director of Law.
SECTION 2. That an amount not to exceed $226,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund, Account Code 5040-25000-8CP2306VEHCTY for the purposes identified 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 procurement requirements of Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 187 for the reason that Ohio CAT is the authorized caterpillar dealer for repair and maintenance in Ohio.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the Account Code in Section 2 in payment of the above authorized obligations in an amount not to exceed $226,000 upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. 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 the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to allow the timely replacement of the D6 Dozer for uninterrupted landfill operations.
