Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

In compliance with Toledo Municipal Code (TMC) Section 927.13 and Section 107.03; whenever a building is demolished, sewer and water is taken out of service, the connection to the public sewer and water services shall be plugged (killed) at the tapping or opening into the public sewer/water main.  To execute this process, the Division of Sewer and Drainage Services bid out and awarded price determining contracts with the lowest bidder, Taylor Excavating, as authorized under Ordinance 420-16, to perform sewer and water service kills for the City of Toledo, Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation, and private demolition projects through utilization of the Water Operating Fund, Sanitary Sewer Fund, and Demolition Trust Fund.  In order to maintain 2016 pricing, Taylor Excavating and Sewer and Drainage Services desire the renewal of the existing contract for Sewer and Water Kills. Sufficient funds have been provided in the proposed 2018 Operating Budget and Expendable Trust Fund. There is no additional financial impact to the City of Toledo as these funds were budgeted for the 2018 budget.
