Item No. 6D <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. 5727 Approving the Purchase of a <br />Replacement Mower for the Parks Division of the <br />Public Works Department <br />Meeting Date: March 25, 2002 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 1995, the City purchased a Hustler XL 440 rotary mower with a 72” deck. This <br />mower was used as a trim mower in the Parks Division of Public Works. The <br />mower is scheduled for replacement and has been budgeted for this year. This <br />mower is still in a usable condition due to the City’s maintenance program. <br />However, it would not be dependable enough to be used as a primary trim <br />mower. <br /> <br />Staff has performed an evaluation of mowers of this size. The Toro mowers <br />have proven to be safe, dependable, user friendly, and the greatest value. Staff <br />has experienced this in both the Parks Division of Public W orks and at the <br />Bridges Golf Course. <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a 2002 Toro <br />Groundsmaster 328D 4WD rotary mower. <br /> <br />This mower would be purchased under state contract. Thus it would forego the <br />requirement to acquire addition bids. The state contract bid is as follows: <br /> <br /> Toro Groundsmaster 328D (28 HP Kubota diesel engine) <br />4WD rotary mower with 72” side discharge deck, <br />deluxe seat, two post ROPS, filter kit and service manual. $18,192.00 <br /> <br /> Optional mulch kit for 72” side discharge deck $ 554.00 <br /> Subtotal $18,746.00 <br />Tax $ 1,218.49 <br />TOTAL $19,964.49 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
