Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order to Professional Turf Products, L.P. for the purchase of lawn maintenance equipment.
Body
This purchase order is to establish a one-time purchase with Professional Turf Products, L.P. for lawn maintenance equipment needed to support City operations. This contract was established through a competitive solicited cooperative process.
We are replacing Asset# 100011, a Toro 5900-D rotary mower. This mower is 11 years old, and is starting to need more extensive repairs on it. In it’s lifetime we have spent well over the original purchase price in repairs. After researching like mowers, and with input from the user department, we have decided to purchase a new Toro 5900-D for $102,713.75. This mower will be used to mow Old Settler’s Park.
We are replacing two 72” Toro single deck mowers, with two 90” 4300-D rotary grooming mowers. These mowers will be used to maintain the soccer fields at the Clay Madsen Rec Center. These contour mowers have multiple decks, and will provide a precision cut not available from the 72” rough mowers. These two mowers will cost a total of $114,940.45.
Cost: $217,654.20
