Title
Approval of a purchase with Austin Turf and Tractor for a John Deere 2500B Precision Cut Diesel Greens Mower for the Landa Park Golf Course through Buy Board Contract at a cost of $38,675 and the appropriate budget amendment.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Landa Park Golf Course is in need of one John Deere greens mower to replace one Jacobson greens mower that is used regularly in the operation and mowing of the Landa park Golf Course putting greens. The current Jacobson mower is no longer operational due to old age and high hours of use and would be cost prohibitive to repair since this company no longer has a local area service center for parts or repairs. This is a critical piece of equipment for the Golf Course.
Staff recommends the John Deere 2500B Precision Cut Diesel Greens Mower be purchased from Austin Turf and Tractor through a Buy Board contract. The Buy Board Contract has been vetted thereby satisfying the City’s competitive bidding requirement for contracts that exceed $25,000.00.
The cost for the John Deere greens mower is $38,675.
Budget Amendment -- The purchase of this mower was unexpected and was not incorporated into the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget. However, there are sufficient funds available within the Golf Course Fund to support this purchase.
Increase: Capital Expenditures $39,000
