Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an expenditure not to exceed $488,041 is authorized from the Water Replacement Fund Account Code 6063-34000-4UC2523STDSTD for the emergency restoration at the intersection of Galena Street and Chase Street.
SECTION 2. That the mayor is authorized to enter into contract with Geddis Paving and Excavating Co. for the emergency replacement and road restoration due to a watermain break at Chase and Galena St., upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to the Director of Public Utilities and the Director of Law.
SECTION 3. That Council finds and determines that, pursuant to TMC Chapter 187.20, formal competitive bidding was waived for the reason that it was an emergency that could not have been reasonably foreseen and would result in an interruption or detriment to utility services and the repair cost has been deemed reasonable by the Director of Public Utilities.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to issue their warrant or warrants against the account code listed in Section 1 in an amount not to exceed $488,041 in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to permit the earliest possible construction of critical elements in the City of Toledo’s water distribution system.
