Harris, Public Works Superintendent <br />DATE: July 9, 1993 <br />RE: Replacement of Toro Mower <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The Toro mower we are now using for mowing in the parks is ten years old <br />and due to the large amount of mowing this year has outlived its <br />usefulness. We are spending more time making repairs trying to refurbish <br />this machine to try to keep up with the grass. <br />In June the City demo'd mowers and called for price quotes for a <br />replacement for that machine. Neither company is willing to offer <br />anything in trade on the machine due to its condition and age. It is not <br />worthwhile for them to take it in trade. <br />The two machines we demo'd are the Jacobson Turf Cat 4 -wheel drive and a <br />4 -wheel drive Ground Master. The Jacobson price with tax included is <br />$13,546.80. The Ground Master came in at $14,239.00. (That was not an <br />exact figure, it could possibly be higher, but would not be lower.) <br />At this point I recommend the purchase of the Jacobson Turf Cat 4 -wheel <br />drive from North Star Turf, Inc. here in Little Canada. The funding for <br />this purchase would come from the Capital Equipment Fund. <br />Page 45 <br />
