Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into the necessary contracts for capital equipment; authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $407,342.95 from the Capital Improvement Fund for purchase of leaf collection equipment; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Streets, Bridges & Harbor (SB&H) is responsible for collecting leaves every fall. Leaf collection is a special assessment service charged to the citizens of Toledo. The costs associated with leaf collection are man hours and materials used during leaf collection operations. With the purchase of this equipment, SB&H will be able to get more trucks on the road to assist in leaf collection. This equipment will convert our existing single axle trucks that are normally not utilized as much during leaf operations into vacuum collection trucks. SB&H plans to use state-term pricing for the equipment purchase.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the sum of $407,342.95 is appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the Capital Improvement Fund to account code 5040-23100-8CP188CP1836LEAFEQ and that the expenditure of said funds are approved for purchases of leaf equipment as outlined below:
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts according to law for the purchase of capital items listed in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw warrant or warrants upon presentation of properly approved voucher or vouchers in a total amount not to exceed $407,342.95.
SECTION 4. That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to ensure that the vehicular fleet is replaced in an orderly fashion supportive of continuous daily city services to the community and have this equipment available for the 2018 leaf collection system.
