Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Bell Equipment for the purchase of a rear loader truck for the Division of Urban Beautification; authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $167,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund; waiving the competitive procurement provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
As presented in the 2022 vehicle and equipment replacement plan, the Division of Fleet planned to purchase garbage trucks for multiple divisions. The Division of Fleet has been actively seeking vendors to provide the equipment and found demand is such that the Division will not be able to secure the equipment for use in the 2022 leaf season without purchasing off a lot. In order to have the equipment as soon as possible, the division would like to purchase one rear loader truck from Bell Equipment and waive competitive bidding.
The total amount to be expended will not exceed $167,000 and was originally authorized to be expended in ordinance 130-22.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a contract with Bell Equipment for the purchase of one (1) Rear Loader Truck, upon terms and conditions as approved by the Director of Public Service and the Director of Law.
SECTION 2. That the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $167,000 is authorized from the Capital Improvement Fund Account Code 5040-25000-8CP2213VEHCTY for the purpose authorized in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive procurement requirements of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that a waiver is necessary for the timely procurement and placement of the rear loader truck in use for the 2022 leaf season.
SECTION 4. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw their warrant or warrants against the Account Code listed in Section 2 in an amount not to exceed $167,000 in payment of the above-authorized obligations upon presentation of properly approved voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to ensure that the vehicular fleet is equipped in a fashion supportive of continuous daily City services to the community.
