Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $1,000,000 from the unappropriated balance of the Water Replacement Fund for the Filter and Pipe Gallery Improvements Project at the Collins Park Water Treatment Facility; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and to execute the necessary contract(s) for said project; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 216-13 previously authorized funding and expenditure for the Filter and Pipe Gallery Improvements Project at the Collins Park Water Treatment Facility. The project included renovations to the existing components of the water treatment system in a state of decay and/or out of OSHA compliance. During a recent Public Employee Risk Reduction Program audit of the facilities, it was reported that approximately 4,700 feet of OSHA- compliant hand railing around 30 filter beds must also be replaced.
This ordinance supplements funding for engineering, bidding, construction oversight, testing, permits, renovation, construction, appurtenances, and other related tasks, equipment, and materials needed to construct these improvements. The estimated unappropriated fund balance of the Water Replacement Fund before ordinance passage is $19.9 million. This ordinance’s impact will leave $18.9 million remaining unappropriated fund balance in the Water Replacement Fund.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 is appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the Water Replacement Fund to Account Code 6063-32000-4UC0118STDSTD for the Filter and Pipe Gallery Improvements Project at the Collins Park Water Treatment Facility; and the expenditure of same is authorized.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and to execute the necessary contract(s) for the engineering, bidding, construction oversight, testing, permits, renovation, construction, appurtenances, and other related work, tasks, equipment, and materials needed for the successful implementation of the Filter and Pipe Gallery Improvements Project at the Collins Park Water Treatment Facility upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
SECTION 3. That the Finance Director is authorized to issue her warrant or warrants against Account Code 6063-32000-4UC0118STDSTD in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in payment of the obligations incurred pursuant to the contract(s) authorized in Section 2 upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance at project closeout is authorized.
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 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 ensure the uninterrupted distribution of quality potable drinking water to the citizens of the entire region.
