Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for the purchase of a Vactor truck; authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of an amount not to exceed $325,000 from the Storm Water Replacement Fund and $350,000 from the Sewer Replacement Fund for said purchase; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Vactor trucks are used by the Division of Water Reclamation to clean lines, hydro-excavate, remove grit and clean storage basins and pump stations. Basins and pumping stations that are part of the Toledo Waterways Initiative are deeper than typical sewers in Toledo’s collection system. The Division of Water Reclamation is in need of purchasing a second Vactor truck for this purpose. A&H Equipment is the designated Vactor dealer for Lucas County, Ohio, through the Sourcewell contract, a nationally solicited cooperative purchasing program for government and public entities.
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 contract utilizing a purchasing cooperative for the purchase of a Vactor truck for the Division of Water Reclamation, upon terms and conditions approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
SECTION 2. That the appropriation of amounts not to exceed $325,000 from the Storm Water Replacement Fund to Account Code 607D-36000-4UC0126STDSTD and $350,000 from the Sewer Replacement Fund to Account Code 6073-36000-4UC0126STDSTD are authorized for the purchase of a new Vactor truck for the Division of Water Reclamation and the expenditure of the same is authorized.
SECTION 3. 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 $675,000 in payment of the obligations authorized above upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That any remaining budget to fund balance at project closeout is authorized for disappropriation.
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 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 purchase the Vactor truck to maintain the City of Toledo’s collection and wastewater treatment system.
