Authorize the purchase of a reel mower for North Park from
SUBJECT:
Professional Turf Products through the Buy Board cooperative
purchasing contract in the amount of $60,605
________________________________________________________________
Action Requested:
City Council approval to purchase a reel mower from
Professional Turf Products in the amount of $60,605 to
maintain the sports turf at the newly developed North Park.
Background
Information:
The City has received a bid price of $60,605 for the
purchase of a reel mower with attachments from
Professional Turf Products. Because the proposed purchase
is through the Buy Board cooperative purchasing contract a
sealed bid process was not required. The mower proposed
for purchase is a Reelmaster 5510 with eight blade radial
cutting unit, grass basket kit, rear hydraulic controls, turf tires
and canopy. The mower will be used by Park Maintenance
crews for turf maintenance at North Park.
A copy of the Quote is attached to this memo to provide an
itemized list of the purchase price for the mower and
attachments.
Financial
Considerations:
Funding in the amount of $60,000 has been approved within
the FY 2012 SPDC operating budget for the purchase of the
reel mower. The additional $606 may be funded from the
Parks Division general fund budget.
The purchase of the Reelmaster mower for North Park will
provide more efficient use of maintenance equipment and
staff by reducing staff time in travel/transfer of equipment,
which will result in more time for turf maintenance.
