ZF. Purchase ofLawnmower from Vero Lawnmower - Bid Waived <br />The Board reviewed Memoranda of February 23, 1999 and March 1, 1999: <br />DATE: February 23, 1999 <br />TO: Tom Frame, Director <br />Department of General SZge�, <br />s <br />FROM: Fran Powell, Purchasing <br />SUBJECT: Mower for Building and Grounds Division <br />Per your request, the Snapper Zero Turn Mower (Model Z2205K) for Building and <br />Grounds is a model that Snapper Mowers has discontinued from their product line. This <br />unit has a 20 hp Kohler engine with a 48" deck and hydro drive joystick steering system. <br />This model number has been replaced with a 22hp Kohler engine with a 52" deck. <br />Vero Lawnmower Center has successfully located one of the remaining units through his <br />distributor and can have the unit delivered within a few days. The suggested retail list for <br />this unit is $6,500.00 and the County's price is $5,599.00. <br />Commercial mower units are available on State Contract but the unit most closely <br />meeting the specifications is a SCAG Zero -Turn Rider (STT52B-22KA) with a 52" deck <br />for $6,980.00. <br />The new Snapper model with a 22 hp motor and a 52" deck would cost the County <br />$5,865.00 from our local Snapper dealer. <br />With Board approval, the Building and Grounds Division has standardized on Snapper <br />mowers to cut down on cost to inventory parts and be able to interchange parts from one <br />unit to the another. Even with this model being discontinued by Snapper, availability of <br />parts, will not be a problem from the manufacturer. The warranty on this unit is one (1) <br />year on the machine and two (2) years on the engine. <br />In closing, I recommend staff prepare an agenda item for Board approval requesting the <br />waiver of the bidding requirements and authorize the direct purchase of the Snapper <br />discontinued model from Vero Lawnmower at $5,599.00. <br />If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call. <br />MARCH 9, 1999 <br />15 <br />600K iW Ft�GE �� <br />
