Council reviews tractor replacement bids; staff to seek trade-in offers
Summary
Staff presented three vendor quotes for a replacement tractor for 'Connie', with Bobcat reported as the lowest bidder in the meeting record; councilors agreed to collect trade-in offers and parts lists before deciding.
Staff presented pricing options for a replacement tractor and discussed trade-in possibilities. In the spoken record, Bobcat was described as the lowest bidder; staff said they would seek trade-in offers from Bobcat and John Deere and share parts lists with vendors to inform the purchase decision.
The transcript records the vendor quotes verbatim as presented at the meeting (formatting in the audio record is uneven). Council members asked whether to accept the low bid or wait for trade-in numbers; staff said they had provided three Kubota dealers for pricing and would reach out to the other companies to confirm trade-in options and lead times.
The council did not take a final procurement vote during the meeting; staff was directed to return with firm trade-in values and parts lists to allow a fully informed purchasing decision.
