Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with Placer Labs Inc. for the purchase of an annual subscription for visitation data software services; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $18,500; waiving the competitive bidding provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the purchase of an annual subscription for visitation data software. The total cost of the subscription is $18,500. Subscription renewal costs increase by approximately 5% each year and would be subject funds availability. The Department will use the data produced by this software to inform planning processes on park development and expansion. It will also provide crucial information to bolster grant applications pursued by the Department. In 2023, the Parks and Youth Services Department applied for over $3 million in grant support and that trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
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 with Placer Labs Inc. for the purchase of an annual subscription for visitation data services upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Parks and Youth Services.
SECTION 2. That the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $18,500 is authorized from the General Fund Account Code 1001-40100-7000380STDADM for the purchase of an annual subscription for visitation data services.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive provisions of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that Placer Labs is the sole-source vendor for the Placer AI software services.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to issue warrant or warrants against the Account Code above in amounts not to exceed those authorized above in payment of the obligations incurred pursuant to the above-authorized contracts upon presentation of proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency 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 of the city and for the further reason that this ordinance must be immediately effective in order to realize the full benefit of the services for upcoming grant applications.
