A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF KUBOTA
MOWER FROM DOLK TRACTOR COMPANY,
OF RIO VISTA
WHEREAS, additional acreage has been added to the Parks Division's maintenance
responsibilities with the development of DeBenedetti and Roget parks; and
WHEREAS, the Park's Division is also preparing to take over mowing and some
additional groundskeeping duties at Hutchins Street Square, and as a result the Parks Division
does not have the equipment needed to mow all parks every week; and
WHEREAS, most of the large lawn areas at Hutchins Street Square are mowed by
Hutchins Street Square's part-time maintenance workers with inferior equipment that is in
constant need of repair; and
WHEREAS, rather than buy a mower specifically for its Hutchins Street Square Division,
it is in the best interest of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department to
consolidate this function within the Parks Division, which also has the need for additional
equipment to maintain the more than 16 acres of lawn added to the parks inventory in the last
year; and
WHEREAS, after researching various options for new mowing equipment, the Parks
Division concluded that a Kubota F3860 4Wed mower represented the best solution for the
additional needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the purchase of a Kubota F3860 4WD Mower with a 36 -HP, four -cylinder diesel engine
equipped with a Tri -Max FlailDek FX 155 (60 -inch) mow head from Dolk Tractor Company, of
Rio Vista, in an amount not to exceed $28,720.
