Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $500,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for Fire Station improvements; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said improvements; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) funds for various improvements and renovation projects at the Fire and Rescue Department’s 22 buildings. Said improvements will be prioritized by need and include, but are not limited to, station roofs, multiple concrete jobs, parking lot pavement, HVAC and vehicle building exhaust systems, windows, kitchen remodels, parking lot security fencing, overhead doors, office remodeling, station equipment, station security improvements/card readers, etc. The Department of Fire and Rescue plans to use existing City crews to assist with various concrete and pavement improvements. Please see the attached supporting documents for specific project details.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $500,000 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund, Account Code 5040-53000-8CP2210FIRBLD, for Fire Station improvements.
SECTION 2. The Mayor is authorized to prepare plans and specifications, accept bids, and enter into contracts necessary to complete said Fire Station improvements. Said contracts shall contain such terms and conditions as the Mayor may deem requisite and proper and shall be subject to approval by the Department of Law and the Director of Fire.
SECTION 3. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the Account Code listed in Section 1 in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 4. 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 the Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of public health, safety, and welfare and for further reason that timely building improvements spare mission-critical building infrastructure from costly emergency repairs and requisite station closures, which consequently would extend emergency response times and subject affected district citizenry to undue peril.
