Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for the rental of Elgin brand street sweeping machines; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $95,000 from the unappropriated balance of assessed funds; waiving the competitive procurement requirements of TMC Section 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Elgin brand street sweeping machines are used daily by the field service operations of Urban Beautification. These sweepers are responsible for cleaning our roads of heavy debris, and are used for leaf collection season, after the leaf crews have finished clearing residential roadways. These pieces of equipment serve a critical purpose in the cleaning of our public transit roadways.
The division requires extra machines to assist with street sweeping during leaf season. The division is requesting the rental of four machines for two months.
Summary
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 agreement with the option to renew for one additional year for the rental of Elgin brand street sweeping machines upon the terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Director of Public Service and the Director of Law.
SECTION 2. That an annual expenditure of $95,000, subject to future appropriation, is authorized from the assessed fund, Account code 3050-27100-2421001STDSTD, for the rental of street sweeper machines for the division of Urban Beautification.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187 for the reasons of limited equipment availability and time constraints.
SECTION 4. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the proper appropriation from available funds in payment of all obligations created by this ordinance upon presentation of 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 rental of equipment in time for the upcoming fall season.
