BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department identified a need in the 2007 Capital Equipment Budget to
replace the 1997 John Deere 6400 Tractor, Mowers and Snowplow. The Tractor and
equipment is 10 years old with 4,000 Hours. Staff is requesting replacement at this time
to take advantage of the excellent trade-in value of this tractor. In 1997 the total purchase
price of the Tractor, Mowers and Snowplow with tax and trade-in of a Ford Tractor was
$54,489.66. Today the total cost of replacing the Tractor, Mowers and plow with tax and
trade-in is $59,986.85. Staff is currently working with Scott County on a maintenance
agreement for the mowing of County Right-of-way in the City which they would
reimburse us for the hours used. We are estimating 250 to 300 Hours of mowing. Staff
will be utilizing State Bid Pricing for this purchase.
