FERRE MAYOR It CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANCIUM TO Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission FROM a Sergio Pe City Mana BACKGROUND: DATE: OCT J tea FILE SUBJECT Agenda Item: Authorization to Purchase Riding Mowers REFERENCES from State Contract ENCLOSURES "It is requested that a resolution be passed authorizing the purchase of eight (8) Riding Mowers at a cost of $4,175.00 each from DeBra Turf and Industrial, Inc. under a currently effective State of Florida contract at a total cost of $33, 400.00.t1 The Department of Parks and Recreation has urgent need of lawn mowing equipment used in the maintenance of 110 City parks and other properties. Existing Riding Mowers are 8 years old on an average, and can no longer be repaired or rebuilt. The present condition of the parks mandates expeditious procurement to obtain proper equipment. The currently effective State of Florida contract, No. 515-63-85- 1, was competitively bid earlier this year by suppliers all across the state. Awards were made to the lowest bidder for each equipment type. The particular model selected for purchase, a heavy-duty 36t1 Riding Mower with a 10 hp engine, was awarded to a local supplier, Debra Turf and Industrial, Inc. This product meets all specifications for use in the Parks Operations Division. It is requested that authorization be given to purchase from the State contract, thereby decreasing delivery time and eliminating the duplicity of City formal bids. This equipment will enable maintenance crews to perform more quickly and efficiently and reduce down -time for repairs. Funds for this purchase are available in the 1985 Special Programs and Accounts, Parks Improvements Fund. 8" -1a3'7 7
