Regular City Commission March 2, 2021 3. Approval to Purchase Toro Groundsmaster Equipment for the Parks and Recreation Department. (Parks and Recreation Director Johnson) The Parks and Recreation Department previously purchased two pieces of equipment, Toro Zero -Turn Mower and Toro Versa Vacuum, totaling $34,111.28 through a piggyback contract with Wesco Turf, Inc. The department now needs to purchase an additional piece of equipment, a Toro Groundsmaster Mower, which is budgeted in the (FY20/21) Capital Budget, and is being purchased via the same piggyback contract with Wesco Turf, Inc. During the course of processing this purchase requisition, the Finance Department determined that City Commission approval is required. The Purchasing Rules & Regulations guidelines requires City Commission approval on a total purchase from a single vendor of $50,000 and over. The current purchase of the Toro Groundsmaster is $30,295.46. With the previously purchased equipment, the Toro Groundsmaster purchase will cause the total amount to exceed the single -vendor allowance of $50,000 by $14,406.74. 4. Approval of Police Boat Motor Replacement. (Acting Police Chief Plasencia) The City Commission approved the Police Department to purchase a replacement police boat in the FY20-21 budget. After re-evaluation, it has been determined that replacing the motor in the current police boat would resolve many of the issues the marine patrol officers have been experiencing and create a cost -savings for the City. The Police Department budgeted $30,415.00 for a replacement police boat. The Department's vendor has quote $9,500.00 to replace the motor only which equates to a $20,915.00 cost -savings which would be returned to the corresponding budget. 5. Approval of Repairs to Maguire Road Bridge over Florida's Turnpike. (Public Works Director Krug) On September 18, 2018, the Maguire Road bridge was struck by an over height vehicle traveling on the Turnpike, damaging several bridge beams. The damage does not affect the structural capacity, however the long-term integrity of the bridge requires repairs. Due to the amount of extensive temporary traffic control required to complete this simple work over the Turnpike, Public Works has had difficulty finding contractors interested in performing the work. Public Works approached Orange County and the City of Orlando to obtain a quote from Mercon Construction Company, which has active continuing contracts with both the County and City of Orlando. Mercon has multiple active continuing contracts with Orange County and the City of Orlando. Public Works is requesting Commission approval to contract with Mercon for the Maguire Road bridge repair based on their successful contracts with the neighboring government entities. The cost proposal for the work of $27,800.00 is within industry standards based on the extensive amount of temporary traffic control required to complete the one-night task.

Discussion and Direction on Change in Proposed Use Relating to Contract for Purchase of 17.96 Acres of City -Owned Property Located at the Northeast Corner of Fullers Cross & Ocoee Apopka Road by GPK Investments, Inc. (City Attorney Cookson) On August 4, 2020, the City Commission directed staff to proceed with preparation of a contract for the sale of 17.96 acres of City -owned property located at the northeast corner of Fullers Cross and Ocoee Apopka Road (the "Agreement"). On October 12, 2020, the City and GPK entered into the Agreement. The Agreement sets a Purchase Price of $3,560,000.00 with closing to occur once GPK secures Final Site Plan approval and other development approvals. GPK has now approached the City and no longer wants to develop a commercial project on the site.
