2014 John Deere Zero Turn Mower
 
Body
The Maintenance Department received bids on the purchase of a new Zero Turn Mower with trade in allowance of a 2010 New Holland Boomer Diesel Tractor.  The mowing deck on the New Holland Diesel Tractor has not withstood the daily wear and tear that accompanies the type of terrain the Maintenance Department mows and maintains.  
 
It is recommended that the City accept the bid from Tri-County Equipment for the purchase of a 2014 John Deere Diesel 60" Zero Turn Mower with a three (3) year warranty.  The original cost of the John Deere is $15,500.00 with a trade-in allowance of $12,500.00 for the New Holland Tractor.  The final cost to the City is to be $3,000.00.
