Approval of Purchase of Ventrac Boom Sickle Mower for the Parks Department Under State Contract

Background

The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting authorization to purchase one Boom Sickle attachment for the department’s Ventrac 4500Z tractor under State contract (SWC#45198 line 242-12) for use at Smith Park. Ladd’s Equipment of Memphis is the authorized dealer in Tennessee for this equipment under state contract. (See attached state bid information.) The State contract price is $15,494.85 and is under the $20,000 budgeted for this purchase.

This new attachment will allow us to maintain the trails to a higher standard. Staff did not solicit informal price quotes from other dealers as this is a sole source attachment only available through our Ventrac dealer. Pictures of the Sickle Mower, the state contract information and quote are attached your review.

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