Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the purchase of One (1) John Deere Commercial ZTrak Zero Turn Mowers in the amount not to exceed $8,200.00 from Deere & Company d/b/a John Deere, Pursuant to Sections 271.101 and 271.102 Subchapter F Cooperative Purchasing Programs for the Texas Local Government Code Buyboard Contract #447-14. [Account #801-3001-6224 (Minor Tools & Apparatus)]

Issue: Water Treatment Plant is not equipped with any type of Heavy Duty Mower that can be used to maintain the grounds around the Water Treatment Plant's area (Grass Cutting). We currently have six (6) ECHO Weed Eaters that are being used daily. Equipment has been used excessively that has caused them to break down more often due to the excess of use. Operators have a heavier work load due to this issue.

Solution: Replacing weed eaters by purchasing these tractors will alleviate work load.

Result: Purchase and replace equipment.

Background:

We have previously requested assistance from Road & Bridge and Building Maintenance in the past and have been unsuccessful due to their scheduled workload.
