MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: Mark W. Brace, CPPB, Buyer
DATE: 26 June, 1997
RE: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE TRACTOR FROM STATE OF FLORIDA
CONTRACT NO. 765-900-96-1
The Stormwater Department has submitted a requisition for the purchase of a tractor which was
approved and placed in this year's regular budget for the anticipated cost of $13.000. The
requested tractor with options is a New I lolland Model 3430 and can be purchased using the
State of Florida's Contract No. 765-900-96-1 for a price of $12.669.00 through New Holland
North America of Tucker, Georgia. I called some of the vendors who represent New Holland-s
tractors to ascertain if the State Contract price was a fair one. I was given verbal quotes ranging
in the $16,000 to $17.000 price range on the tractor itself without the options being requested
and was told that the State Contract price is unbeatable on the dealer level. This piece of
equipment will be used in connection with the mowing of the City's ditches. Delivery of the
tractor is expected in approximately sixty days from receipt of the Purchase Order.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Flonorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize purchase of a New Holland
Model 3430 Tractor from New Holland North America utilizing the State of Florida's Contract
No. 765-900-96-1.
