4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
We wish to make a sole source purchase ofa Jacobson LF 3400 (fairway mower). This will replace
an existing fairway mower. Ed Faulk, Greens Superintendent, has previewed this particular piece of
equipment as well as Toro and John Deere models, and found it superior in meeting the needs of the golf
complex. This purchase will bring the complex's fleet total to three (3) Jacobsons and two (2) Toro
fairway mowers. Our goal is to eventually standardize the fleet with Jacobson fairway mowers. Our
experience has found these to be the most reliable manufacturer.
The cost of the equipment is $37,384.60 (includes a discount and sales tax) and is solely funded by
the Golf Course Fund 407. Since this is a 2002 piece of equipment, there is a substantial discount. This
capital purchase is included in the 2003 Budget.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to approve the sole source purchase of the Jacobson LF 3400 (fairway mower).
