Title
Authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award a contract for a period of up to two (2) years with the option to renew for one year for the removal, hauling and beneficial reuse of spent lime produced by the Division of Water Treatment; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 annually over the term of the contract from the Water Operating Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Spent lime is a byproduct of the water treatment process. The reuse and disposal of this material must be done in an environmentally responsible manner that is approved by the Ohio EPA. Most of the lagoon excavation projects require multi-year contracts to complete the work. A total of $7,000,000 annually is allocated in the operating budget to dispose of spent lime.
There are two (2) lime contracts utilized by the plant, the first contract to haul spent lime from our solids drying facility (SDF) is funded at $1,500,000 annually, while the second contract for removal and hauling of lime from lagoons, is funded at $5,500,000 annually. The two existing contracts were authorized under Ordinance 570-23 for an initial term of two years with up to three one-year renewals. The existing SDF contract for $1,500,000 will renew under the authorization of Ordinance 570-23 for the final two years. The lagoon lime contract was not renewed for 2026 under Ordinance 570-23, instead the Department solicited new bids.
This Ordinance authorizes a new lagoon lime contract for a total of $5,500,000 annually for two years, with the option for an additional one-year renewal.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and to award a contract for a period of up to two (2) years with the option to renew for one year, for the removal, hauling and beneficial reuse of spent lime from the Division of Water Treatment’s lagoons upon such terms and conditions as approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
SECTION 2. That subject to appropriation, an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 annually over the term of the contract, is authorized for expenditure from the Water Operating Fund Account Code 6060-32000-4000503STDSTD for the services listed in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Director of Finance is authorized to issue their warrant or warrants against the Account Code in Section 2 in an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 annually over the term of the contract in payment of the obligations authorized in Section 1 upon presentation of proper voucher or vouchers.
