Item No. 6E <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. 5728 Approving the Purchase of a <br />Replacement Utility Cart for the Golf Course <br />Meeting Date: March 25, 2002 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 1995, the City purchased an EZ-Go utility cart, for use at the Bridges Golf <br />Course. This cart has been used extensively for the past seven years. The <br />suspension is showing considerable wear and the frame has a twist in it. This <br />cart was budgeted to be replaced in 2002. <br /> <br />Staff has reviewed several models and manufactures of utility carts. Staff has <br />determined that the Toro Workman 2100 meets the specifications and <br />requirements needed for operation at the golf course. It has a special frame <br />suspension that keeps the load equally distributed on all four wheels when going <br />over hills and mounds. This will prevent some of the frame twist problems <br />experienced in the past. <br /> <br />A total of three bids were received. These are as follows: <br />Tri-State Companies $7,401.70 <br />Doug’s Service and Marine $6,949.13 <br />Minnesota Toro Industries (MTI) $6,548.00 <br /> <br />Of the three bids we have received for this cart, the bid from MTI in the amount of <br />$6,548.00 was the lowest. The budgeted amount for this item in the 2002 <br />Budget is $7,000. <br /> <br />♦ Toro Workman 2100 (16 hp B & S Vanguard engine) mid size utility <br />vehicle with Active In-Frame suspension, and *electric lift kit. <br />1500 pound capacity and full 2 year warranty <br /> $6,548.00 <br />♦ Less trade value on EZ-Go utility cart $ -600.00 <br /> Subtotal $5,948.00 <br /> Tax $ 386.62 <br />TOTAL $6,334.62 <br />*A lift kit is a $512.00 option - Toro will include at no charge <br />
