AGENDA HEADING:

 

Request City’s Purchasing Division to issue a blanket purchase order to Great American Outdoors (South) Van Wall Group, Don Van Houweling, owner, 710 Army Post Rd., Des Moines, IA 50315 for equipment repair parts to be purchased during fiscal year 2010.  

 

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

Recommend approval for the City’s Purchasing Agent to issue a blanket purchase order for John Deere equipment repair parts to Great American Outdoors (South), the sole area-wide distributor.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

Amount:  $50,000

 

Funding Source:  FY10-11 Operating Budget, Equipment Maintenance GE001 PKS041000, page 183.

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

 

The City Park and Recreation Department utilizes John Deere mowing and other related equipment extensively in its turf maintenance program.  Repair parts must be purchased to keep this equipment operating.  Municipal Code section 2-726 (a) (6) provides for a non-competitive procurement of repair parts when the required parts are available only from a single area-wide distributor and competitive bids for such parts are thus not prospectively attainable.
