AGENDA TITLE: Advertisement for Bids for Trim Mower for the Parks
Department
MEETING DATE: August 2, 1995
SUBMITTED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize advertisement for bids for
one Toro Groundsmaster® 325D Trim Mower for the
Parks Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The department's 13 year old Toro Groundsmaster® 327
trim mower has worn out, and is now inoperable due to a
failed transmission. Rather than continue expensive
repairs on this older mower, the Department recommends that it be replaced.
The Toro mowers are preferred over Jacobsen equipment because of faster mowing speed, better cut,
and high equipment reliability. A copy of the equipment specifications is attached.
FUNDING:
Capital Improvement Fund
Estimated Cost: $18,000
