RESOLUTION NO. 2006-127
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EARLY ORDER/PURCHASE OF A
ROTARY MOWER UNIT, EQUIPMENT NO. 250
WHEREAS, the City Equipment No. 250 is a 16-ft span, rotary-type turf mower that
was purchased in 2002 with an anticipated replacement cycle of 9 years; and
WHEREAS, said mower unit has required an abnormally high level of costly repairs to
the four-wheel drive and hydraulic control systems; and
WHEREAS, the equipment manufacturer of said mower unit has offered above market
trade-in value for said mower unit to be applied towards the purchase of a replacement mower in an
attempt to partially compensate the City for past repair costs and avoid continued repair cost for the
existing mower unit; and
WHEREAS, the list price for a replacement Toro Groundmaster 580-D rotary mower is
$70,485 on the 2006 State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture contract and the
manufacturer is offering $28,602 trade-in for the existing mower unit, resulting in a net purchase price
of $44,605.40 including sales tax; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal & Support Services staff has determined that the Central Garage
equipment replacement balance has sufficient funds to cover the purchase price stated above; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota that the early order and purchase of one Toro Groundmaster Rotary Mower, Model
580-D, as part of the Minnesota State Cooperative Purchasing Venture at a total estimated net cost of
$44,605.40 is hereby approved.
