Title
A Resolution to Rescind Resolution 21-1093, to Reappropriate Funds, and to Approve Four Capital Purchases in Street Department.
Summary
The Street Department requests to rescind Resolution 21-1093, because we are unable to obtain the trucks due to COVID-19, which caused a shortage of employees and lack of production. Instead, the Street Department is requesting those funds be reappropriated towards the purchase of much needed equipment.
ST. MAINTENANCE (3012) is requesting to purchase a 2021 John Deere 1575 Front Mount Mower with a 72 in Rear Discharge Deck and a John Deere Gator TX from Deere & Company through SunSouth LLC under Sourcewell Contract #031121-DAC (PG NB CG 70) for the total cost of $46,278.40. Both the Mower with Canopy and the Gator are additions under Account#100-3012-5100. We would like to use the $26,000 that was originally budgeted for a truck under ST MAINTENANCE Account #100-3012-5100 and transfer the remaining amount due of $20,278.40 from the originally budgeted $55,000 under ST. CONSTRUCTION(3011) Account #100-3011-5100 for truck to ST. MAINTENANCE Account #100-3012-5100. Then combine the two to cover the total cost of both purchases.
ST. SIDEWALK (3013) is requesting to purchase a 2021 Polaris Ranger 1000 EPS for $14,971.13 from Baldwin County Victory Polaris under Sourcewell Contract #051717-PS1 AND a 2021 SCAG Turf Tiger 61" Zero Turn Mower & Canopy from Robertsdale Power Equipment for the total cost of $12,944.91. There are three quotes for mowers, but for a few reasons we request to purchase the SCAG Mower, though it is the high bid : 1) the Gravely mower, which is the lowest bid, has an unknown delivery date, but the SCAG mower is ready now. 2) the SCAG mower has a better quality, bigger motor, and more HP than either of the other mowers; and 3) the blade cutting width on the SCAG mower is 1 inch wider than the other two mowers. This allows our crews to mow more in less time. The SCAG mower is the better choice. Both the Polaris Ranger and the SCAG Mower are additions under ST. SIDEWALK Account#100-3013-5100. The combined total of the two is $27,916.04. We would like to use the $26,000 that was originally budgeted for a truck under ST. SIDEWALK Account #100-3013-5100 and transfer the remaining amount due of $1916.04 from the originally budgeted $55,000 under ST. CONSTRUCTION Account #100-3011-5100 for truck. Then combine the two to cover the cost of both ST. SIDEWALK purchases.
All four (4) pieces of equipment are needed to continue maintaining and mowing the right-of-ways, medians, sidewalks, ditches, etc., as well as to facilitate the Street Crews continuing assistance to other departments during events, such as Balloon Fest, Archery Tournaments, etc.
