<br /> <br /> <br />CITY OF HUGO <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Mike Loeffler, Public Works Lead Worker <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Replacement of 2005 Toro Zero Turn Mower <br /> <br />DATE: For the City Council Meeting of March 6, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />In 2005, the City purchased a Toro zero turn mower from Hugo Power and Equipment <br />for maintaining City parks and facilities. This mower has been in service for 18 seasons <br />and is nearing the end of its useful life. Staff is looking to replace the mower and is <br />recommending a Ferris ISX3300 60” zero turn mower. <br /> <br />The mower listed on the quote from L.T.G. Power Equipment has been reviewed with <br />the Finance Department and money is included in the 2023 CIP budget to cover this <br />purchase. Staff has compared both Toro and Ferris mowers and received quotes from <br />three dealerships. <br /> <br />Public Works staff is seeking Council authorization for the replacement of the existing <br />2005 Toro mower. If approved by the City Council, this mower would be purchased <br />using the Mn/DOT Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) contract assuring that the <br />City of Hugo will receive the best price available while providing us with the necessary <br />options to choose from. <br /> <br />DESIRED ACTION <br /> <br />Staff recommends the City Council authorize the purchase of a Ferris ISX3300 60” zero <br />turn mower as outlined in the quote from L.T.G. Power Equipment in the amount of <br />$15,999.00. <br />
