Title
A Resolution Approving the Purchase of Capital Items for Parks and Recreation including a Front Mount Mower, a Zero Turn Mower, and a Spreader.
Summary
Parks and Recreation has several capital items we need to purchase including a front mount mower, a zero turn mower, and a spreader. We need a front mount mower for Parks to eventually replace an aging mower which we’ve had several maintenance issues with lately. The item is over budget by $5,360.27 costing $40,360.27. The purchase will be through the Sourcewell Grounds Maintenance Contract 031121-DAC (PG NB CG 70). We also need a zero turn mower for the sportsplex to eventually replace one of our current 60 inch zero turn mowers and upgrade it with a 72 inch mower. The item is over budget by $700 costing $13,700. Finally, we need a spreader for the sportsplex to disperse fertilizer and seed several times a year. We currently borrow one from Sports Tourism but this has caused delays for each department since we typically need to fertilize and overseed at the same time. The spreader will cost $6,499 which is under budget by $5,501. Though two of these items are over budget, based on the savings of the spreader and a barricade trailer purchased earlier this year, no budget adjustment is necessary.
