Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $160,000 from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund for the purchase of traffic signal poles; authorizing the mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said purchase; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Traffic Management /Traffic Signals Operations has six upcoming signal projects that require signal poles. Lead time on the poles has been four to five months after approval which delays projects. This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund to pre-purchase the poles so projects can stay on schedule.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $160,000 is authorized from the Street Construction Maintenance and Repair Fund Account Code 2014-22500-2413002STDSTD for the purchase of traffic signal poles.
SECTION 2. That the mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts for the purposes specified in Section 1 above. All contract terms and conditions shall be subject to approval by the Director of Transportation and the Director of Law.
