Board delays park mower procurement, directs staff to seek commercial bids
Summary
Council discussed Park Department mower bids and asked staff to re-submit for commercial‑grade machines; an alderman moved to set the item aside and the motion carried 6‑0.
The Board reviewed bids submitted for a Park Department mower and questioned whether the initial solicitation had specified commercial equipment. PW Superintendent Kyle Hamrick said he believed City Hall and Mitch Franklin Park grounds did not require a commercial mower, but aldermen pressed for commercial options. No bid award was made; Alderman Thering moved to set the item aside and request bids for commercial mowers, a motion seconded by Alderman Palmer and carried 6‑0.
The minutes record no selected vendor or dollar figures; staff were directed to return with revised bids that specify commercial machines for the Board’s further consideration.
