adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 98-88
RESOLUTION CANCELING A CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF A SEVEN-REEL
TRACTOR MOWER AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR NEW BIDS
WHEREAS, the City Council on February 23, 1998 accepted a bid and awarded a contract
to North Star Turf for a Jacobson model F-10 seven reel tractor mower; and
WHEREAS, the specifications for said mower required that it include an adequate power
steering system; and
WHEREAS, the manufacturer has discontinued factory-installed power/power assist
steering system as an option, and a dealer-installed system was tried and tested and deemed inadequate by
City of Brooklyn Center operators; and
WHEREAS, North Star Turf is thus unable to meet the specifications for this mower as
required by contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota that:
1. The contract with North Star Turf for a 1998 Jacobson model F-10 seven reel
tractor mower is hereby canceled.
2. Staff is hereby authorized and directed to develop new specifications and advertise
for new bids.
