WHEREAS, the workhorse of the Parks Division is a 2006 Jacobsen 9016B mower,
which cuts nearly 200 acres of grass every week for 40 weeks a year and is in constant need of
repair; and
WHEREAS, rather than replace the mower with a similar piece of equipment, the Parks
Division is proposing a change in approach by purchasing a tractor and pull -behind mower; and
WHEREAS, doing so will save approximately $20,000 in purchase costs, provide Parks
with a mower that is efficient at cutting both fescue (the predominant grass variety in parks) and
hybrid Bermuda (planted at DeBenedetti Park) with the same 16 -foot swath, and allow Parks to
use the tractor with various implements to perform other types of turf maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2014/15 budget includes $95,000 for the purchase of a new
mower, the total cost allocated for this purchase is $80,000 ($74,552.83 for the tractor and
mower; $5,447.17 for additional related equipment, such as a canopy to protect the operator
from overexposure to the sun).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the purchase of a 2014 Massey Ferguson 2635 tractor from JM Equipment, of Manteca, in the
amount of $31,098.60, and one 2014 Trimax Pegasus 493 mower from Trimax Mowing
Systems, Inc., of Griffin, Georgia, in the amount of $43,454.23; and
