Item No: 71 <br />Meeting Date: July 22, 2013 <br />Staff began the process to replace this unit and soon discovered that cost has <br />increased and the budget for 2013 did not reflect the actual cost. <br />While discussing the replacement of this unit, Staff has also researched replacing the <br />rough cut mower. A new mower will cut smoother and leave less ripping and tearing of <br />smaller trees in which, now, some end up being a sharp stick. Staff also researched <br />purchasing a new mower deck for this unit. By placing a mower deck on this unit and <br />mowing more of the areas that are rough ground it will save wear and tear on the large <br />turf mower # 440, for this unit is starting to show signs of heavy use and an increase in <br />repairs. (This is not scheduled to be replaced until 2016.) <br />Staff has been working with the vendor off the State of Minnesota Cooperative <br />Purchase Contract (State Bid). The vendor has proposed that the City could save <br />$10,000.00 by purchasing the demo unit. <br />
