AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> Prepared By: Joshua Lemons Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase 2022 Golf Course Tee <br />Mower <br /> <br />2. Background. The parks department has budgeted for the replacement of the golf course tee mower <br />in 2022. The current tee mower is a John Deere purchased in 2004. The mower has required serious <br />repairs the last few years and continuously leaks hydraulic fluid on the course. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Cost. Staff Solicited quotes from two vendors. <br /> Vendor Make Model Quote <br /> MTI Distributing Toro Greensmaster 3150-Q $43,976.18 <br />Frontier Ag and Turf John Deere 2700 PrecisionCut $41,299.14 <br /> <br />4. Funding. The Greens mower is will be funded by the Equipment Outlay Fund. <br /> <br />5. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that we purchase the Toro Greensmaster 3150-Q from MTI <br />Distributing. While the Toro unit is slightly more expensive, it outcompetes the John Deere in almost <br />every category. Toro is based in Minnesota and parts are affordable and much easier to acquire. The <br />parts are interchangeable with the Toro greens mower that the golf course already has, this means that we <br />will always have a cutting unit in case one is down for repairs. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the purchase of a Toro Greensmaster for the golf course. <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibits: <br />A.
