Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $750,000 from the unappropriated balance of the Stormwater Utility Improvement Fund for the Jamieson Ditch Improvements Phase 2 Project; authorizing the mayor to acquire rights-of-way and easements as necessary, accept bids and enter into contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 170-18 authorized the mayor to enter into agreements, accept, and deposit up to an $110,000 grant and a $165,000 loan from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for the Jamieson Ditch Improvements Phase 2 Project. It also authorized the mayor to accept bids and enter into contracts for the project. This ordinance appropriates $750,000 from the Stormwater Improvement Fund to pay the local share of the project and authorizes the mayor to accept bids and enter into contracts for the project. The Jamieson Ditch Improvements Phase 2 Project is an upstream continuation of Phase 1 improvements and will consist of a new storm pipe on Goodwood Avenue at the Jamieson Ditch inlet headwall, between Northgate Parkway and Linda Drive to the Jamieson Ditch outlet headwall between Northgate Parkway and Regina Parkway. It will further alleviate upstream flooding and allow additional homes to be removed from the regulatory floodplain.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $750,000 is appropriated from the unappropriated balance of the Stormwater Improvement Fund into account code 607B-35000-4UC0119STDSTD for the Jamieson Ditch Phase 2 Project; and the expenditure of the same is authorized.
SECTION 2. That the mayor is authorized to accept bids and enter into contracts in an amount not to exceed $750,000 for said project including such items as labor, materials, real estate incidentals, purchase of rights-of-way and easements, permits, professional services, and other miscellaneous project expenses needed to undertake said project. Contracts shall contain such terms and conditions as the mayor may deem requisite and proper, and shall be subject to approval by the Director of Law and the Director of Public Utilities.
SECTION 3. That the Director of Finance is authorized to issue his warrant or warrants against the account code listed in Section 1, in an amount not to exceed $750,000 in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance is authorized at project closeout.
SECTION 5. 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 permit the earliest possible construction of the Jamieson Ditch Improvements Phase 2.
