FROM: Michael Hullander, Public Works Superintendent
DATE: February 3,2010
SUBJECT: Purchase ofToro 5910 16' Mower and Snow Blower.
INTRODUCTION:
The Public Works Department is requesting City Council authorization to purchase one
new 16' foot Rotary Mower with Snow Blower as identified in the 2010 Capital
Equipment Budget - Park Division.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works has included $100,000.00 in the Capital Equipment Budget for purchasing
one new 16' Rotary Mower with Snow Blower.
The Park Division currently has two Toro Groundmaster 580D 16' Rotary Mowers.
These two mowers are the work horses of the Park Division providing the bulk of the
total acreage mowed per season. These mowers are operated by two seasonal employee's
five days a week (weather permitting), providing the residents with well maintained turf
at a cost effective rate. Along with these two mowers seasonal staff uses three John
Deere 1445 6' mowers and a Land Pride 16' tow behind unit. The tow behind unit is
used on large acreage with minimal obstacles and where a lesser quality of mowing is
acceptable.
Staff is requesting to replace the 2000 Toro Groundmaster 580D due to the increased
downtime and maintenance costs associated with a 10 year old mower with 3800 Hours
of operation. This unit is used year round and has a cab and snow blower for skating rink
maintenance. Staff is recommending purchasing one (1) new Toro 5910 16' rotary
mower with cab and snow blower from MTI Distributing using State Bid Pricing
Contract # 442-585 for the purchase price of $85,992.34 including additional parts, tax
and trade. See attached quote.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Authorize staff to purchase one (1) new Toro 5910 16' mower with snow
blower from MTI Distributing using state contract # 442-585 for the
purchase price of $85,992.34 including tax and trade.
2. Deny the request.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative number 1.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Move to authorize staff to purchase one (1) new Toro 5910 16' mower with snow blower
from MTI Distributing using state contract # 442-585 for the purchase price of
$85,992.34 including tax and trade. The cost to be expended from the Capital Equipment
Fund.
