Title
64. Motion to Authorize the City Manager to Procure Two Rear Cradle Boom Mowers from Atlantic Southern Equipment, LLC in the Amount of $126,958 (Event No. 7559)
Strategic Priority
N/A
Description

Recommend approval to procure two Diamond Mowers 23-foot rear cradle boom attachments from Atlantic Southern Equipment, LLC under State of Georgia Contract # 99999-001-SPD0000102-0016 in the amount of $126,958.00. The City of Savannah’s Greenscapes Right of Way Mowing Division will be the primary user of the equipment. A heavy duty long reach arm attachment is necessary to handle the ditch and canal mowing operations. Equipment downtime in 2018 was over six months for our long reach mowers because the existing attachment arms kept breaking, resulting in a 50% operating efficiency.

As a member of Georgia State Contract and per Section 2-4154 of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, staff recommends procuring the rear cradle boom attachments from Atlantic Southern Equipment, LLC under State of Georgia Contract #9999-001-SPD0000102-0016.
