Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into contracts utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements for the purchase of one (1) Tandem Axle Plow Truck; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $375,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $375,000 from the approved 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget for the purchase of one (1) tandem axle truck for snow and ice operations.
In 2024, an ODOT cooperative purchase agreement was utilized to purchase one chassis from Valley Freightliner of Toledo and a Sourcewell contract was utilized to purchase one body outfit from Henderson Truck Equipment. The equipment is still currently on order and has not been received. Therefore, the Division of Road and Bridge Maintenance would like to add the 2025 purchase to the existing order.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into contracts utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements for the purchase of a tandem truck chassis and plow body for snow and ice operations upon terms and conditions as the Mayor may deem requisite and proper, subject to approval by the Department of Law and the Director of Transportation.
SECTION 2. That an amount not to exceed $375,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund Account Code 5040-23100-8CP2519SNOPLW for the equipment described in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw their warrant or warrants against the above account code in payment of the above authorized obligations in an amount not to exceed that authorized in Section 4 upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. 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 purchase of the tandem axle truck for the Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance.
