Information

Subject

Approval of Purchase of a Zero Turn Mower for the Parks Department Under Sourcewell Contract

Background

The Parks and Recreation Department budget for FY 2020 includes funding for the purchase of a zero-turn mower with a 60-inch-width cutting deck. The department is requesting authorization to purchase one mower under the Sourcewell contract (Formerly NJPA – Contract #062117-HTF) to replace a 2007 model currently used by the department at Crockett Park. Nashville Lawn Equipment LLC is the authorized Hustler Turf Equipment dealer in Tennessee for equipment under this contract (see attached contract information). The contract price is $13,150.40 and is within the budgeted amount of $14,000.

Staff also solicited informal price quotes from other dealers, but after reviewing the quotes (see attached), it was clear that the Sourcewell contract price was lower than the City could expect to receive if bids were solicited for the mower directly. A picture of the mower, the Sourcewell contract, and other vendor quotes are attached your review.

Please contact the Parks and Recreation Director if you have any questions.

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of this this purchase from Nashville Lawn Equipment LLC under the Sourcewell contract.
