1] <br />INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: April 3, 1978 <br />TO: Mayor and Commissioners <br />FROM: Stan Sherwood <br />SUBJECT: Tractors with mower. <br />It is my recommendation that we award the bid to Trevathan <br />Tractor City, for $6500 dollars. Even though low bid was <br />$6305.00 dollars, because of the following reasons. <br />a. Alvin Imp. bid a Kubota 6000 tractor which has been <br />discontinued. <br />b. Trevathan bid the Kubota 6100 which is the replacement <br />for the 6000. <br />c. The 6100 is a.3 cylinder diesel engine with 14 H.P. <br />• d. The 6000 is a 2 cylinder diesel engine with 12.5 H.P. <br />e. The 6100 has large tires which gives it a higher ground <br />clearance than the 6000. <br />f. Because of the large engine and added options., I believe <br />that it would be to the Cities advantage to pay the <br />$195.00 dollars difference and award the bid to Trevathan <br />Tractor City. <br />Stan Sherwood <br />Director Parks and Recreation <br />SS/an <br />• <br />
