Item No. 6F <br />Type of Business: CA <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 5717 Approving the Purchase of a <br />Replacement Mower for the Golf Course <br />Meeting Date: February 25, 2002 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 1995, the City purchased a Toro 455-D Rotary Mower for use at the Bridges <br />Golf Course. This mower has been in use for six years and has reached the end <br />of its economical useful life cycle. The metal on the mowing deck has <br />deteriorated due to sand erosion. The engine is in need of major repairs. This <br />mower was scheduled to be replaced in 2001. <br /> <br />The Toro model 455-D has proven to be a safe, reliable, and an overall user- <br />friendly mower. Staff feels that this brand and model has met and exceeded the <br />expectations of the functions it was intended to perform. Based on past <br />experiences with other mowers, staff also believes that the Toro 455-D has been <br />a cost effective choice for the City. <br /> <br />Given this, staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a <br />2002 Toro Groundsmaster 455-D. This has been budgeted for and would be <br />purchased under state contract. Thus it would forego the requirement to acquire <br />additional bids. The state contract quote is as follows: <br /> <br /> Toro Groundsmaster 455-D (55 hp diesel engine) 4WD <br />Rotary Mower, 10.5’ cutting width, 2 post ROPS, <br />filter kit & service manual $35,263.00 <br /> Toro leaf mulcher kit $ 810.00 <br /> New traction steering tire & rim $ 446.00 <br /> Air intake pre-cleaner attachment $ 200.00 <br />Sub Total $36,719.00 <br /> <br /> Less trade in value on 1995 Toro 455-D ($ 8,500.00) <br /> <br />Sub Total $28,219.00 <br />Sales Tax $ 1,834.24 <br /> TOTAL $30,053.24 <br />
