NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a one year contract with the option to renew for three additional one-year terms with Johnson Controls for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of the fire alarm system and related components at the Water Reclamation Facility upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and Director of Public Utilities.

SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive procurement provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that the fire alarm system has proprietary equipment and the current vendor is best suited to continue maintaining the subject system.

SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be effective immediately in order to maintain the fire alarm system at the Bay View Water Reclamation facility.
