Title
Enclosed Tractor with Articulating Boom Mower - Proposal
History
The Public Works Department has received a proposal from Burris Equipment of Frankfort, Illinois, for the rental of a tractor with an articulating boom mower attachment to perform pond maintenance. This equipment had previously been used to mow the severe slopes at the Village Hall Complex and performed better than anticipated. This equipment allows us to mow areas that conventional mowing equipment is unable to safely access. We will be renting this mowing equipment for one month (160 hours) at a cost of $5,500 plus $122 delivery and pickup.
On September 7, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE SEPTEMBER 7, 2010, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
Financial Impact
The Utilities Division of Public Works has funds available in Account #031-6007-433.44-50 for the rental of this equipment.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the rental of a tractor with articulating boom mower for pond maintenance from Burris Equipment of Frankfort, Illinois, for a cost not to exceed $5,500 plus $122 for delivery and pickup for one month (160 hours).
