Board places $398,521 tractor purchase on consent agenda to replace aging mowers
Summary
Public Works recommended buying four John Deere tractors with warranties for $398,521.32 funded via TSPLOST to replace 2020 models averaging 2,706.5 hours; the Board placed the purchase on the consent agenda.
Public Works asked the Board to approve replacement of four mowing tractors (current tractors purchased in 2020, averaging 2,706.5 hours). Staff reviewed quotes from three vendors: Case/Farmall 120C PS Cab at $95,000 each (four units in stock); John Deere 6120E Cab at $94,630.33 each (two in stock; two more arriving in July); and Massey Ferguson 5M135 at $87,899 each (July delivery for all four). John Deere was recommended for purchase because the quote included warranty coverage for all four tractors.
The total cost including warranties is $398,521.32 and the purchase was proposed to be funded through TSPLOST. Commissioner Ben Riden moved, with Commissioner Philipp von Hanstein seconding, to place the item on the consent agenda; the motion passed unanimously.
