Item No. 10D <br />Staff Report No. <br />Meeting Date: March 26, 2001 <br />Type of Business: C.B. <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: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Mower Purchase <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />The large capacity mower purchased in1989 is due for replacement. Staff has demonstrated and inspected <br />several brands of mowers last season. The brand and model of mower recommended is listed on the State <br />Cooperative Purchasing Plan, of which the City is a member. Steve Dazenski, Parks Foreman has spoken <br />with the dealer of the brand staff recommends purchasing, regarding the trade-in value of the current <br />equipment. The dealer has offered a trade-in reduction of $3,500.00 off the purchase price of a new <br />mower. Staff would like to advertise this mower in the league bulletin and seek at least this amount or <br />more. If a higher bid amount were received, staff would obviously recommend the sale of the mower to <br />that entity. This will require the equipment to be declared surplus. <br /> <br />The 2001 budget amount is $70,000.00 for a mower replacement. This was an estimated price from several <br />vendors and costs have increased since the initial estimate and trade-in value has decreased. The following <br />is a breakdown of the mower costs including the trade-in of the Howard Price: <br /> <br />TORO 580D Groundmaster $64,534.00 <br />OSHA approved all steel cab w/ROPS 5,875.00 <br />OSHA approved air handling system 5,980.00 <br />Trade-in for Howard Price (3,500.00) <br />Subtotal $72,889.00 <br />MN State Sales Tax 4,738.00 <br />TOTAL COST $77,627.00 <br /> <br />Since this piece of equipment was bid with the State Cooperative Purchasing Program and the City of <br />Mounds View is a member of the Cooperative, we may purchase from this bid. All advertising and <br />bonding has taken place through this program. The additional funding required, which is $7,627.00, would <br />be received from the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund. <br /> <br />I have attached two memos from Steve Dazenski for Council’s review. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Council declares the 1989 Howard Price, surplus equipment and advertise it for <br />sale to the highest bidder over $3,500.00, award the purchase to Toro for a 580D Groundmaster for a <br />purchase price of $77,627.00, to be funded from the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund. <br /> <br /> <br />_________________________________ <br />Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works
