Title
Authorizing the authorizing the acceptance and deposit of $727,500 to Account Code 6063-32000-4UC1921STDSTD (Ozone Corrections); authorizing the appropriation and expenditure in an amount not to exceed $727,500 from the Water Replacement Fund for the Ozone Corrections project at the Water Treatment Plant; authorizing the settlement of the City of Toledo’s claims pending with Black & Veatch; authorizing the mayor to accept bids and enter into contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City entered into a Professional Services contract, dated March 09, 2017, No. 46-3515, with Black & Veatch to provide certain engineering services for Collins Park’s Water Treatment Plant Ozone Process project. Late in 2020, it was discovered that the Ozone Treatment Facility, which was brought online at that time, is not able to operate with the full range of flows as designed, due to hydraulic restrictions in the facility. Black & Veatch and its design sub, Arcadis, analyzed and redesigned certain portions of the project to achieve the metrics that were required by the City. The construction to complete this redesigned portion was bid and Kokosing Mosser Joint Venture was selected as the lowest and best bidder at $727,500. Black & Veatch and Arcadis will each provide to the City $363,750 for a total of $727,500 to cover the City’s costs in paying Kokosing Mosser Joint Venture to complete the work and resolve the City’s claim. Corrections must be completed by the 2022 harmful algal bloom (HAB) season, to restore the facility to its intended use. This facility is necessary to maintain a safe, reliable water treatment system for the Water Treatment Plant.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the mayor is authorized to accept payments of $363,750 from Black & Veatch and from Arcadis, totaling $727,500, for the purpose of paying for the construction of the redesign portions of the Ozone Corrections project.
SECTION 2. That upon receipt of such payments by Black & Veatch and Arcadis and after review by the Law Department, the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver to Black & Veatch a full, final and complete release of this claim.

SECTION 7. That the disappropriation of any remaining budget to fund balance is authorized at project closeout.
