Title
Amending Ord. 160-24 for the purchase of one additional street sweeper truck for Urban Beautification cleaning programs; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 160-24 authorized the expenditure of $900,000 for the purchase of street sweepers for Urban Beautification programs. The department issued a competitive bid proposal for the purchase of three (3) Elgin Pelican street sweepers. The winning bid cost per vehicle is $325,200, so an additional $75,600 is needed to complete the purchase of a third street sweeper. The department needs a third sweeper to help replace aging equipment and in order to have back-up equipment readily available when machines are out of service. The department has utilized the Elgin Pelican sweepers for more than thirty years and they are very popular among municipalities. The time required to request and receive new equipment can exceed six to twelve months, therefore, the purchase of this third street sweeper now will save procurement time in the future and help Urban Beautification optimize its core services faster.
The division would like to utilize the remaining balance of ordinance 160-24 to supplement the purchase of a third street sweeper.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
That Section 1 of 160-24 that currently reads:
