Title
Street Dept. requests permission to purchase a John Deere 1575 Front Mount Mower and Deck
Summary
Darrell Russell, Public Works Superintendent, requests permission to purchase a new John Deere 1575 Terrain Cut T4 Mower with a 72 in Rear Discharge Mower Deck from Deere and Company for $32,746.56 through Contract# NJPA Landscaping and Grounds 070313-DAC (PG NB). It was budgeted for $36,000.00 under Acct# 01-607-7010. This is an addition. The new mower would greatly increase our ability to keep the City maintained since several miles of right-of-way, roadway, etc, have been added to what we already maintain. Also, we have had to set aside a regularly used 2008 mower as a spare/backup mower due to constant problems we have with it when it is used daily. It can no longer be used on a regular daily basis, but will suffice as a backup.
