Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $9,278 from the Water Replacement Fund for additional costs to purchase one (1) HIAB Crane, Winch and Remote Control through Hiab USA, Inc. for the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water Distribution; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Distribution utilizes crane trucks within the day-to-day operations to load and transport steel plates and trench and shoring safety equipment. The crane truck is used to load, unload, transport steel plates, and transport trenching and shoring safety equipment. In 2021 the crane truck was involved in an incident where the crane hit power lines causing catastrophic failure to the components.
Ord. 431-21 passed by Council on September 15, 2021 authorized the expenditure of $90,066 from the Water Replacement Fund for the purchase of one (1) HIAB Crane, Winch and Remote Control through Hiab USA, Inc. However, after the ordinance was passed the contract was unable to be fully executed due to the vendor being unable to give a lead time or hold the pricing due to vendor supply chain issues, hence the additional $9,278 is needed above the originally legislated amount for a total of $99,344.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $9,278 is authorized for expenditure from the Water Replacement Fund, Account Code 6063-34000-4UC1116STDSTD for additional costs to purchase one (1) HIAB Crane, Winch and Remote Control.
SECTION 2. That the Finance Director is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the above-listed account code in an amount not to exceed $9,278 in payment of the obligations incurred pursuant to the contract authorized under Ord. 431-21 upon presentation of properly approved voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 3. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect 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.
