Explanation

The Transportation Division is responsible for snow and ice removal on the city's roadway system. To enhance these efforts the Transportation Division proposes to establish contingency agreements and encumbrances with private vendors to plow snow on streets, roads, and highways on an emergency basis consistent with the Division's Snow Removal Plan. This legislation authorizes the Service Director to enter contracts with vendors for snow and ice removal services. All vendors chosen will have prior approval of the Equal Business Opportunity Commission Office.

This expenditure will come from the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund. $50,000.00 was appropriated earlier this year, and the remaining $50,000.00 necessary for this legislation is appropriated under a separate ordinance that is being processed concurrently.

This legislation is requested to be heard as emergency, to allow roadway snow removal operations to proceed, if necessary, without delay.
