In February, 2024, the City of Toledo entered into a jurisdictional  
agreement for the provision of countywide ALS EMS in accordance  
with Sections 307.05, 9.60 and 505.44 of the Ohio Revised Code,  
which will vest the responsibility of emergency services with local fire  
departments. During this transitional stage, the need has arisen for an  
additional ALS vehicle to be placed into operation. Lucas County  
requested that Toledo Fire and Rescue employees temporarily operate  
Life Squad 7 in June, July, and part of August, 2024. Lucas County  
shall reimburse Toledo for the costs associated with operating and

Lucas County Board of Commissioners for the  
acquisition of the real property commonly known as the  
Lucas County EMS Annex Building located at 129 21st  
Street Toledo Ohio; authorizing the acceptance of any  
related personal property including, but not limited to  
emergency vehicles, office equipment, and any medical  
supplies and necessities related thereto; making certain

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
Ordinance No. 052-24 authorized the mayor to execute a  
jurisdictional agreement regarding the provision of countywide  
advanced life support emergency medical services. Over the last year,  
Lucas County has been working to transition this responsibility to the  
participating political subdivisions, including the City of Toledo. The  
building, located at 129 21st Street, operated as an annex service  
building abutting the Lucas County Emergency Medical Service  
properties. Lucas County has offered the “Annex” building to the City  
for $1.00 as it is no longer needed to house county emergency vehicles  
and personnel. The building location, garage bays and office space will  
be a valuable and operational asset to the fire and rescue department.  
The City will grant an easement to the County for access and  
maintenance of the County’s generator located on the subject  
property.  
The City and the County will enter into a reciprocal parking agreement  
for the subject property and the abutting Lucas County emergency  
services properties.

Page 15  
As a component of the Advanced Life Support (ALS) services  
transition from Lucas County to the City of Toledo, Fire has received  
equipment for managing Pharmacy Board-controlled medications,  
which requires software subscriptions and services to function, totaling  
$46,340 in expenses over the next three years.  
Accordingly, Bound Tree has offered related expense rebates  
contingent on the satisfaction of various annual purchasing targets  
pursuant to agreement terms. That said, the sum of Fire’s related  
purchases has historically met or exceeded said targets, of which said  
purchase totals will only increase due to added ALS service supply  
needs. As such, Fire expects no issues meeting the set spending  
thresholds.  
Bound Tree medical supply pricing is based on the 2021 Lucas  
County Bid Sheet. Said bid sheet is competitively bid and awarded.  
Bound Tree will extend the same discounts via said agreement until  
12/31/26.

Operating Fund for the purchase of bar screen parts from the  
original equipment manufacturer for the Bay View Pump  
Station; waiving the competitive procurement provisions of  
TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.  
34.  
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
Bar screens at the Bay View Wastewater Treatment Plant filter out  
large solid objects such as rags, plastics, paper, and other materials  
from the incoming wastewater. These materials would otherwise not be  
broken down by the treatment processes and would result in the  
plugging up of pumps and/or increased wear of the pumps. Either of  
these conditions would lead to the Plant not being able to treat all of  
the incoming wastewater. Headworks, Inc. is the original equipment  
manufacturer and sole source of replacement for bar screen parts at  
the Bay View Wastewater Plant. The parts are proprietary and  
patented, and the purchase of the parts must be done through their  
Ohio authorized sales representative, BL Anderson, Inc. The Division  
of Water Reclamation is seeking a contract with BL Anderson, Inc. in  
an amount not to exceed $26,000 for the purchase of parts necessary  
to repair the bar screens in order to maintain efficient operation of the  
Plant and protect downstream equipment. Funds are available in the

Printed on 7/10/2024  
Page 22  
1400 HP pumps, used one or more at a time combination to deliver  
water to the plant, is controlled by four variable frequency drives  
(VFDs). The VFDs generate a significant amount of heat and are in  
their own room. The room includes two Computer Room Air  
Conditioning (CRAC) units that operate as needed to keep the VFDs  
cool. One of the CRAC units has failed and work on units this size is  
beyond the certification level of skilled trades employed by the City.  
During summer months one CRAC unit alone cannot maintain the room  
temperature below 80 degrees F, the maximum allowable ambient room  
temperature. Lead time on the compressors is 24 weeks, and it is  
uncertain when compressors on the other unit may fail. If the pumps  
cannot operate due to excessive heat, the City of Toledo and  
surrounding communities could be without water.
