STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Mark W. Brace, CPPB, Buyer
DATE: 27 August, 1996
RE: PURCHASE OF A SLOPE MOWER
At Mid-Year of the current Fiscal Year, you approved $15, 000 for
the purchase of a Deweese 72" Slope Mower which was placed in
Stormwater Account 103-538-6400. Shortly after that was approved,
Deweese was bought out by Gravely International, Inc. (the City has
purchased Gravely mowers in the past) . Gravely then converted all
of Deweese's units to diesel instead of gasoline engines and went
from a belt drive to a hydraulic drive; both of these modifications
should produce reduced maintenance requirements. Unfortunately,
this conversion also resulted in a price increase of $5079. 00. The
converted mower is now represented as a Gravely ATM 72 Slope Mower
and is currently priced at $20, 079. 00 utilizing a General Services
Administration (GSA) Contract which the City has the authority to
use.
For the FY 95/96 Budget, you approved $20, 000. 00 for the leasing of
a dump truck which resulted in that being placed in the same
account number mentioned above. At the August 6th Commission
Meeting, under Item VI.E. , you authorized leasing of that dump
truck which resulted in only $3772 .93 of the $20, 000. 00 being used
for the current Fiscal Year; the remaining unused amount of
$16, 227. 07 is sufficient to cover the resultant price increase of
$5079. 00 for the purchase of the requested mower.
ACTION REQUESTED
That the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners (1)
authorize the purchase of a Gravely ATM 72 Slope Mower for
$20,079. 00 from Gravely International, Inc. and (2) authorize the
use of $5079 . 00 of the remaining $16, 227 . 07 in Stormwater Account
103-538-6400 for the purpose of covering the resultant price
increase for the conversion of the budgetarily approved Deweese
mower to a Gravely mower.
