Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of an amount up to $1,090,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of wheel loader trucks for the Divisions of Urban Beautification and Road and Bridge Maintenance; authorizing the Mayor to enter into a purchase agreement with Southeastern Equipment for the purchase of wheel loader trucks; authorizing the mayor to execute a contract with Southeastern Equipment not to exceed $1,090,000, waiving competitive procurement provisions of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Historically, the city has consistently rented small and large loaders for our leaf collection and snow and ice operations. Typically, we rent up to eight small loaders and three large loaders for the programs. While trying to secure the equipment for the upcoming seasons, we were told by the vendor there are no rentals available. We sought other rental options and there were none available.
In order to complete successful leaf collection and snow and ice operations, and to ensure we have the necessary equipment in the future, the city would like to purchase six small loaders and three large loaders for our operations.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the appropriation of and amount not to exceed $1,090,000 is authorized from the unappropriated balance of the Capital Improvement Fund to account code 5040-27100-8CB2225LOADER and expenditure of same is authorized for the purchase of wheel loader trucks for the Divisions of Urban Beautification and Road and Bridge Maintenance.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a contract with Southeastern Equipment for the purchase of nine loader trucks waiving the competitive procurement requirements of TMC Chapter 187 upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Directors of Law and Public Service.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines that it is in the best interest of the city to waive the competitive bidding requirements of TMC 187 for the reason that using the existing vendor will secure the equipment and prevent delays in leaf collection and snow and ice operations.
SECTION 4. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw his warrant or warrants against the Account Code listed in Section 1 upon presentation of properly approved voucher or vouchers in a total amount not to exceed $1,090,000.
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 equipment is secured in time for necessary seasonal city services to the community.
