| Subject: | Resolution 24-R-151 - Authorizing an increase in the previously approved expenditure amount with Hill Country Outdoor Power as part of the 2024-2025 Vehicle/Equipment Replacement/Acquisition program. (B.James/D.Hardin/C.Hernandez) |
BACKGROUND
On October 15, 2024, City Council approved purchases with multiple vendors as part of the FY24-25 Vehicle/Equipment Replacement/Acquisition Program via Resolution 24-R-101. Resolution 24-R-101 authorized up to $25,000.00 to be spent with Hill Country Outdoor for two deck mowers. That amount listed in the resolution failed to include the cost of additional accessories, which cost an additional $3,500.00. As such, staff is seeking to increase the amount that can be spent with Hill Country Outdoor, up to a total of $28,500.00.
GOAL
To authorize the City Manager to approve the additional cost for the two lawnmowers and accessories.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Having a current and operational fleet will provide all departments with the necessary vehicles and equipment to perform their assigned duties within the City of Schertz and reduce the maintenance cost of an aging fleet.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of this resolution will allow the purchase of the lawnmowers with additional accessories listed in the vehicle/equipment replacement/acquisition program from the vendor listed in the resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of the increase is $3,500.00 bringing the total amount for the two mowers and accessories to $28,500.00. The funds are available as part of the approved FY 2024-2025 Budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Resolution 24-R-151.
