Council approves purchase of asphalt tack trailer and 16-foot Toro mower
Summary
Council authorized purchase of a 600-gallon asphalt tack oil spray trailer from CMW Equipment for $36,950 (including a $2,500 trade-in) and approved purchase of a 16-foot Toro grounds mower from MTI Distributing for $142,468.46, citing budgeted funds and maintenance needs.
City staff told the council that the 2010 tack oil spray trailer used by the street department had reached the end of its useful life and was experiencing performance problems; staff recommended replacing it with a 600-gallon steel tank trailer-mounted tack sprayer. The city received four bids and recommended CMW Equipment as the lowest and best bidder at $36,950, which included a $2,500 trade-in credit. Council approved the purchase by roll call.
Parks staff recommended replacing the parks department’s area mower and said bid evaluation rejected one vendor for failing to meet specifications. Parks recommended MTI Distributing to supply a Toro GrandMaster 5910 grounds mower based on fleet experience with Toro products and reference checks. Council approved the Toro purchase for a net cost of $142,468.46 by roll call. Staff said funds were budgeted for both purchases in the capital outlay.
