RESOLUTION #015-2025
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A REVISION TO THE
2025 CAPITAL BUDGET FOR THE PURCHASE OF LAWNMOWERS
WHEREAS, the City of Muskego Department of Public Works (DPW) requested funding
for the purchase of one (1) TORO Grounds Master 4010-D mower in an amount not to
exceed $120,000.00 for the 2025 Capital Project, under GL Code 410.08.93.51.6523;
and
WHEREAS, after conducting further research and field demonstrations, DPW staff
recommends the purchase of one (1) TORO 7500-D 144" and one (1) TORO 7500-D
72", instead of the originally requested mower, for the following reasons:
1. The TORO 7500-D mowers are easier to use and maintain.
2. The TORO 7500-D mowers are more cost-effective than the originally requested
mower.
3. The TORO 7500-D mowers will enable DPW to expand mowing services to
Manchester Park and potentially additional parks in the future.
4. The originally requested mower does not meet the needs of the City's current
and future mowing requirements, as it is not compatible with all city -maintained
areas; and
WHEREAS, DPW will be utilizing the "Sourcewell Discount", to purchase two TORO
7500-D mowers which is a government cooperative purchasing agency that is able to
obtain substantial savings to government agencies, schools, and municipalities by
combining buying power, which will result in significant cost savings in this instance for
the City of Muskego as indicated below; and
WHEREAS, as an additional cost savings measure, DPW plans to trade in one (1) of its
John Deere mowers to receive a significant trade-in value, as indicated below, toward
the purchase of the new TORO 7500-D mowers, as the John Deer mower is no longer
needed; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Committee has reviewed the attached quotes for the purchase
of two TORO 7500-D mowers in lieu of purchasing one TORO Grounds Master 4010-D
mower and recommends approval of the same to the Common Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Muskego, upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee, that the original request
for the purchase of one (1) TORO Grounds Master 4010-D mower in the amount of
