Title
Authorizing the expenditure of $500,000 from the Sewer Replacement Fund for the Plant Electrical Motors & Actuators Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant; waiving the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for proprietary parts and equipment replacement; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts necessary for the Project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Bay View Water Reclamation Plant houses the wastewater treatment facilities which can handle up to 195 million gallons per day, and the wet weather treatment facilities which can handle up to 205 million gallons per day. The Plant as well as the outside pump stations employ numerous electrical motors, actuators and other related equipment to power and drive various equipment and treatment systems. Currently, the conditions of many electrical motors and actuators are of great concern, which upon failure could adversely affect the operational integrity of the treatment systems.
The Division of Water Reclamation intends to seek formal and informal cost proposals to rebuild and/or replace electrical motors, actuators and other related equipment in order to maintain compliance with Ohio EPA’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit, and to provide the necessary redundancy of such equipment as needed. Some equipment may require proprietary parts for rebuild and others can only be purchased from sole sources when needed. For that, the Division is requesting a waiver of all competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the expenditure of $500,000 is authorized from the Sanitary Sewer Replacement Fund Account Code 6073-36000-4UC0623STDSTD for the rebuild and/or replacement of electrical motors, actuators and other related equipment in order to facilitate the Plant Electrical Motors & Actuators Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts for equipment rebuild, equipment replacement and for professional, engineering, permitting, testing and construction services necessary for the completion of the Plant Electrical Motors & Actuators Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant, upon terms and conditions approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
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 equipment rebuild and replacement from sole sources, and for the further reason that electrical equipment standardization is critical for equipment availability and operation continuity at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant.
SECTION 4. That the Finance Director is authorized to issue their warrant or warrants against the Account Code identified in Section 1 in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in payment of the authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance is authorized at project closeout.
SECTION 6. 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 this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to facilitate the Plant Electrical Motors & Actuators Rebuild/Replacement Project at the Bay View Water Reclamation Plant.
