Title
Authorizing the mayor to accept bids and enter into bulk chemical supply contracts for a period of three (3) years with an option to renew for two (2) additional years for various bulk chemicals for use at the Collins Park and Bay View Treatment Plants; authorizing expenditures from the Water Operating Fund and Sewer Operating Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The treatment of drinking water and wastewater requires the use of many chemicals, some at large feed rates, to process and remove pollutants necessary to meet regulatory requirements. To eliminate the need for a separate legislation for each bulk chemical contract, it is deemed efficient to combine all bulk chemicals used at the Collins Park and the Bay View Treatment Plants into one ordinance. This ordinance authorizes the Mayor to take bids and award contracts for the chemicals listed in the attached Exhibit A for the purpose of treating drinking water and wastewater, upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the mayor is authorized to enter into bulk chemical supply contract(s) for the chemicals listed in the attached Exhibit A for the purpose of treating drinking water and wastewater, upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law. Each contract shall be issued for a period not to exceed three (3) years with the option to renew for two (2) additional years.
SECTION 2. That expenditures in the Water Operating Fund from account code 6060-32000-4000500STDSTD and in the Sewer Operating Fund from account code 6070-36000-4000507STDSTD are authorized, and that the cost for bulk chemicals during the contract period shall be included in annual appropriations of the Department of Public Utilities, as appropriate and that said expenditures are authorized subject to future available appropriations.
SECTION 3. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw his warrant or warrants against the above account codes in payment of all obligations created by this ordinance upon presentation of proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That this ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force 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, and for the further reason that this ordinance must be immediately effective in order to provide proper treatment of drinking water and wastewater for compliance with Ohio EPA permits at the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant and the Bay View Wastewater Treatment Plant.
