SUBJECT: APPROVE THE LEASE -TO -OWN OF FIVE PIECES OF TURF
MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
Approve placing an order with John Deere, under California Multiple Award Schedule
(CMAS) 4-96-37-0001A, for the lease -to -own of five pieces of turf equipment. The lease will
have a term of 60 months, with five annual payments of $12,867.56, for a total of
$64,337.80. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to
City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
The addition of 35 acres of parkland has placed increasing demands on parks maintenance
equipment and staff. The existing levels of equipment are insufficient to properly maintain
the newly added landscaped acreage. With the FY 2002/2003 budget, the City Council
approved a decision package to fund the lease -to -own of five pieces of additional turf
maintenance equipment.
As a result of the time -sensitive nature of the thinly spread maintenance equipment, staff
sought out the most responsive solution. A review of California Multiple Award Schedule
(CMAS) contracts identified a contract offering the needed equipment. Council has
previously authorized the use of the CMAS contracts when determined to be in the best
interests of the City. Based on the availability of equipment, fair and reasonable pricing
and satisfactory terms, staff believes it is in the best interest of the City to place an order
for the required turf maintenance equipment under the CMAS contract.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Appropriate funds, in the amount of $58,097.29, to Account No. 7330-8610, and
authorize the purchase of the equipment instead of leasing.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
