COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 9/30/2008 -Ord. No. 18312-09-2008
DATE: Tuesday, September 30, 2008
LOG NAME: 13P08-0241 REFERENCE NO.: ~*P-10854
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Purchase of a Toro 580-D Mower from Professional Turf Products using Texas
Association of School Boards Cooperative Contract for the Parks and Community Services
Department for a Cost Not to Exceed $70,848.26; and Adopt Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $70,848.26 from the Risk Management Fund to the Municipal Golf Fund;
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Municipal Golf Fund in the amount of $70,848.26; and
3. Authorize the purchase of Toro 580-D mower from Professional Turf Products using Texas Association of
School Boards Cooperative Contract 292-08 for the Parks and Community Services Department for a cost
not to exceed $70,848.26 with payment due 30 days after receipt of the invoice.
DISCUSSION:
The Toro 580-D mower is replacement for a unit that burned due to unknown causes, cannot be
economically repaired and will be sold at auction. The Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Risk Management adopted
budget includes funds to underwrite this replacement. The Parks and Community Services Department will
use the equipment to maintain golf greens and fairways at the Z-Boaz Golf Course. The Risk Management
Division and the Parks and Community Services Department have reviewed the pricing and find the costs to
be competitive.
PRICE ANALYSIS -The current Toro 580-D price is approximately 1.5 percent higher than the previous
unit price awarded by M&C P-10777, on April 29, 2008. The higher price is a result of the increased cost of
supplies, materials and shipping cost over the previous four months. The price was obtained from
Professional Turf Products using a Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Cooperative Contract.
Overall, price received is considered fair and reasonable, and reasonable and better than current market
prices for comparable equipment.
State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a cooperative purchasing agreement
satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item.
TASB contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local
government entities across the State of Texas.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of

the Municipal Golf Fund. Funds received from the salvage sale should be deposited to the Risk
Management Fund.
