Title
Authorizing the mayor to enter into contract with ESRI for the subscription and implementation support services of the Winter Weather Solutions application; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $61,000 from the Special Assessment Service Fund; waiving the competitive bidding requirements of TMC 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance is requesting to expend an amount not to exceed $61,000 from the Special Assessment Services Fund to ESRI for the subscription and implementation support of the ArcGIS Winter Weather Solutions application. With this implementation, partnered with our Samsara Telematics software, the City of Toledo will have an interactive dashboard created on its website that will provide a forward-facing map for citizens to view during snow and ice events. This dashboard will show information such as which phase is currently working, which streets have been treated within an indicated time interval, the number of trucks out, what phases are next, and so on. Internally, we will be able to see this information as well as how much salt or brine was used and on which route, truck condition, how much time has been spent on a route, and the location of all of the plow trucks. Additionally, when private plow operators or other city crews assist with plowing snow on residential streets, an app can be used to track their location and which streets they have addressed and which ones they have not. Competitive bidding is asked to be waived due to the fact that the ESRI software is a reliable software that the city currently uses.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $61,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Special Assessment Services Fund, Account Code 3050-23100-2422001STDSTD...
