Station 133 to trade two old mowers and buy new zero-turn mower for $6,699
Summary
The Fire Territory Board approved trading two aging mowers (one >20 years old) from Station 3 and purchasing a zero-turn mower quoted at $6,699 from Boos Embark to reduce maintenance burdens.
Support services staff presented a bid from Boos Embark to purchase a zero-turn mower for Station 133, proposing to trade in two older mowers currently at Station 3 (one reported as over 20 years old and another over 15). Harder said maintenance costs for the older mowers were rising and the new mower would provide longer service life.
A committee member confirmed the quoted purchase price of $6,699 and moved to approve the transaction; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The packet contained the bid details, and staff indicated existing mowers would likely be used for parts or retired after trade-in.
