MEMORANDUM

TO: B. Kirk,

FROM: F.E. Peters., P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Purchase of Tractor and 7-Gang Mower

RECOMMENDATION:

That the 1981 Ford 4100 Tractor with Ransomes 7-Gang
Mower be purchased from Rollins Machinery at the bid price of
$38,500.00 plus taxes.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: -

The Budget approved replacement of our 7-Gang Mower
with tractor and attached mower from the Equipment Replacement
Reserve. The sum of $40,000 was provided for this purchase.

Four tenders were received as shown in the attached
reqap sheet. The two lowest tenders do not meet the
specifications for the mower and would not be suitable for our
Operation. We recommend the purchase of the alternate bid by
Rollins Machinery which does meet all our specifications.

The cost of this unit including Federal and
Provincial taxes comes to $42,008.00. This.is slightly more
than the amount allocated in the budget but the funds are
available in the Equipment Replacement Reserve for this Slight

additional cost.
