Item No. 17-234
Date: June 26, 2017
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the Lease/Purchase of Mowers from MTE
Equipment Solutions in the Amount of $112,975
Responsible Department: Golf Course
Commentary: This order will authorize a five-year lease/purchase of mowers from MTE
Equipment in the amount of $112,975 or 19,116 per year. The FY 2018 Golf Course capital
plan included the need to replace mowers including, rough/surrounds and greens mowers. After
obtaining quotes and conducting demonstrations with the three companies, staff
recommendation was to execute lease purchase arrangement for the equipment offered by MTE
Equipment Solutions. While the greens mowers proposed were all very similar, The Jacobsen
HR 600 will mow the same amount of area significantly faster than others reducing staff time.
In addition, the Jacobsen HR 600 has some desired safety features including, speed control, roll
protection, steep slope warning, and decks that automatically lift when impact occurs. Staff also
thought it provided the best cut and turf appearance.
Pricing submitted ranged from $100,935.65 to $122,976.35. Staff is recommending the Finance
Committee execute a five-year lease purchase arrangement with MTE for the acquisition of two
greens and rough/surrounds mower in the amount of $112,975.48. At the end of the term, the
City will own the equipment. The estimated useful life of these three units is approximately 15
years.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on June 19,
2017. As the contract award exceeds $100,000 it must be approved by the City Council.
