Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Bio Clean Team Inc. for emergency decontamination services from a hazardous material incident; authorizing the expenditure of funds not to exceed $10,610 from the General Fund; waiving the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 2018, Toledo Police Department officers responded to an overdose on Rolland Drive. During the incident, officers, their equipment and vehicles were contaminated with fentanyl. Several companies were contacted and only two had the capability to handle fentanyl. Of the two companies, Bio Clean was the only company that had the capability to do onsite decontamination. The other company was located south of Indianapolis and would require the City of Toledo to send the equipment to their facility in Indiana. Due to the immediate hazard to officers and the public, Bio Clean responded to Toledo and conducted an immediate decontamination.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into an agreement with Bio Clean Team, Inc. for decontamination services.
SECTION 2. The expenditure of $10,610 is authorized from the General Fund Account Code 1001-52000-3381002STDSTD to Bio Clean Team Inc. for the purpose listed in section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Finance Director is authorized to issue her warrant or warrants against the above Account Code in an amount not to exceed $10,610 in payment of the obligations authorized above upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That this Council finds in the best interest of the city to waive the competitive bidding requirements of TMC 187 for the reason that emergency decontamination services were needed and rendered by Bio Clean Team Inc.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and property and for the further reason that these emergency services have already been performed and decontamination is complete.
