Title
Authorizing the mayor to enter into agreements to update the pavement condition index ratings for the improved residential roadway system and pavement management system; waiving the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The contract will utilize approximately $300,000 of already appropriated funding that was appropriated and authorized for expenditure under ordinances 267-18 and 186-19. This ordinance allows the mayor to waive the competitive bidding requirements of the TMC Chapter 187 and enter into a contract with Engineering & Research International, Inc. (ERI) to update that pavement condition index (PCI) ratings for the improved residential roadway system and the pavement management system. It is necessary to utilize ERI for this project to maintain consistency in rating of the roadways and for additional updating of the pavement management system as they were the firm that built our pavement management system and provided the initial 2017 PCI ratings. Ratings are done on a 3-year cycle. It is critical that ERI be utilized to maintain consistency in the PCI ratings and consistency of the data in the pavement management system.
The fiscal impact of this ordinance is as follows:
- The amount of funds requested: n/a
- The expenditure budget line item: n/a
- New revenue generated (operational revenue, grants, if any): none
- Revenue budget line item (if any): none
- Are funds budgeted in the current fiscal year (yes/no)?: no
- Is this a capital project (yes/no)? yes
- If yes, is it new or existing (new/existing)? existing
- What section of the City’s Strategic Plan does this support:
o Excellence in Basic Services (yes/no) yes
o Quality Community Investment (Livable City, Development) (yes/no) yes
o Workplace Culture & Customer Service (yes/no) yes

Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the mayor is authorized to enter into an agreements with Engineering and Research International (ERI) to update the pavement condition index (PCI) ratings for the improved residential roadway system and the pavement management system. Said agreements shall contain such terms and conditions as the mayor may deem requisite and proper, and shall be subject to approval by the Director of Law and the Director of Public Utilities.
SECTION 2. That this Council finds it in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bidding requirements of Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 187 for the reason that contracting with ERI allows the city to maintain consistency in the PCI ratings and consistency of the data in the pavement management system.
SECTION 3. 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 permit timely update to the pavement condition index (PCI) ratings for the improved residential roadway system and the pavement management system.
