The Public Works Director stated that $13,000 was budgeted for a new Z - turn lawn mower in 2016 to replace the 2009 Bobcat mower. He explained that staff was able to get one more summer out of the Bobcat, but it now needs to be replaced. He stated that Tri-State Bobcat quote a price of $10,190 for a Toro Z -turn gas mower and offered a $4,100 trade-in for the Bobcat mower. He stated this leaves a new price of $6,090 for the Toro 6000 Series Z -turn mower. He noted that the price quoted from Tri-State Bobcat was lower than the National IPA price. He stated that the price for this mower will also increase in November, so staff recommends purchasing this mower in October. The Public Works Director stated that both MTI Distributing and Tri-State Bobcat will not start the warranty periods for either machine until spring 2017 when they start being used, rather than the purchase date.

The Public Works Director stated that another eligible project is manhole grouting, which is 100% eligible and is reimbursed at 50% of the project costs.
