FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Replacement Fund (Parks) for a total amount not to exceed $35,055. BACKGROUND: This is for the purchase of the sand pro model 5040 for Athletics Parks Maintenance which will serve as a replacement for the existing inoperable machine. The current equipment has suffered significant engine damage due to prolonged use and the unavailability of discontinued parts. The Sand Pro Model 5040 is intended for dirt maintenance on baseball and softball fields across various sports complexes within the City. This purchase will ensure the upkeep and improvement of these fields, ultimately enhancing the overall sporting experience for our community. This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791. Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Professional Turf Products. The Golf Course and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would best meet the needs of the City. Staff recommends approval. AD/LW
