Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a water distribution system condition assessment agreement for a term of 3-years; authorizing an expenditure not to exceed $100,000 annually; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Since 1999, the city has been performing a yearly watermain replacement program. The current evaluation process is a manual process performed on a case-by-case basis. Evaluation criteria includes main breaks, pipe age, pipe size, pipe material, location, main criticality, and flow/pressure improvement potential.
The city is seeking a program to evaluate the entire water distribution system using this data along with additional data (topology, geography, seismic, proximity to railroads/highways/bodies of water) to determine the likelihood of failure along with the consequence of the failure and cost to prioritize main replacements before breaks occur.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to prepare specifications, accept bids and enter into agreements for a period of three years for services that will provide a condition assessment of the water distribution system, under such terms and conditions as the Mayor may deem requisite and proper and shall be subject to approval by the Director of Law and the Director of Transportation.
