Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Streets, Bridges, and Harbor (SB&H) has taken over cleaning up blight within the City of Toledo. Although SB&H has many pieces of equipment it is necessary to purchase new equipment specifically for blight clean up. This ordinance will allow the purchase of one (1) mini track skid steer that will allow crews to enter through small spaces such as fenced in yards to pick up debris, one (1) Volvo L35GS Loader that will allow crews to pick up large or piles of debris, one (1) Case Skid Steer Loader that will be used to collect trash within a yard, and a trailer to haul this equipment. Currently, the crew is using equipment that was scheduled to be in the street repair programs full-time, but is being shared.
The following items will be purchased:
Equipment Purchase Estimated Price
Bobcat MT100 Mini Track Loader $24,100.00
Volvo L35GS Loader $98,000.00
Case SR240B Skid Steer $43,000.00
Skid Steer Trailer $14,000.00
Total $179,100.00
The total amount to be expended in the above schedule is not to exceed $195,700.
As a response to the public health emergency and the negative impacts the crisis has had on neighborhood blight, the city will be utilizing internal Clean Toledo crews as well as contractors to clean up blighted areas. This ordinance will allow for the addition of a Clean Toledo crew and contractors to address the service backlog. Crews collect all debris and dispose at the city’s Hoffman Road Landfill. The city will track the pounds of debris and number of tires collected on a daily basis using Cityworks software.
