SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF A MOWER FOR THE GRAPEVINE GOLF COURSE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of a mower from
Trimax Mowing Systems for the Grapevine Golf Course.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Lake Enterprise Fund (Golf) for a total amount
not to exceed $16,800.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace a piece of existing equipment that has become
obsolete due to availability of repair parts. The Trimax mower will replace
a piece of equipment that is over 20 years old.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing interlocal
agreement with the Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) and Sourcewell as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Trimax Mowing Systems. The Golf and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
