JULY 6, 1988
STANDARDIZATION ON
FLAIL GANG MOWERS
FROM H. V. CARTER
AS SOLE SUPPLER
APPROVED
RLS. NO. 88-86 The City Council was apprised thst presently, both of the
Parks and Recreation Department gang lawn mowers are
cc -20 manufactured by Jacobsen Manufacturing company and are
CC -47 supplied by H. V. Carter Company. The City has found these
mowers to be reliable, with low maintenance requirements ,
and parts and materials readily available through H. V.
Carter Company. The City's maintenance mechanic has
already attended repair and maintenance school on the
Jacobsen lawn mower and parts have been stocked in order to
maintain this equipment.
Section 2-58, Exemptions from Centra i ized Purchasing, of
the Lodi Municipal Code, authorizes the City Council to
standardize on specific supplies, services and equipment.
Since the City has to replace only one gang mower and since
the the City's current inventory includes only Jacobsen
Gang Mowers, it is recommended that the City standardize on
the Jacobsen F-15 Tractor and Gang Mower. Further, i t i s
recommended that the sole supplier be H. V. Carter Company,
which is the manufacturer's representative for Northern
Ca?ifornia.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-86 approving
standardization on flail gang mowers from H. V, Carter as
sole supplier.
