BECHTOLD / DIR. P & R 16F ATTACHMENTS: •MMlJ!!�'"` APPRO s A purchase was made in 1989 of a 4' slit seeder for the Park's maintenance programs. This item has proven to not be a machine of high quality and is recommended to be replaced while some replacement value remains_ The "slit seeder is a critical part of the fall maintenance work in the parks. It is also critical in the construction that the Parks crew has been doing in the park reconstruction and upgrade problems in Shannon Park. Rick Cook has contactor! the Carlson Tractor Company to price out an upgraded model-of the machine that we now own. They have given a quote of $ 3,960 plus our trade in model for; larger sized and better quality machine. The trade in value is $ 3,445.00. The new model also is designed as a brilliant seeder and a mulcher . This model is b' in widthversus the 4' width of the present seeder. The model is a Landpride 72" seeder: • The dollars required to purchase this machine are requested from the item in the ,CIP under # 34 (S82) for an aerator. The ,amount available is $ 3,500.00. Although a second aerator is needed the seeder has become a much higher priority. This change in priority was noted after the deadline for setting budget items last fall. Tom Nuemann, the Director of the RAAA inhouse Soccer program, has indicated that donations received from him this past year could be used to pay for the additional amount .needed for the seeder upgrade that :are 'not 'presently available in our CIP RECOI MENDED ACTION: Accept the quote from Carlson Tractor Co. of Rosemount and to authorize the purchase of Landpride 72 seeder for a price of 7,405.00.
