$4,219.38 with the purchase of the John Deere Riding Mower as listed above, for a total cost of $18,334.21.

$14,114.91 however; AA Equipment's price quote for the additional Peco Collection System, which is not on the CMAS
listing, was $4,835.82 ($616.44 more than Eberhard) for a total cost of $18,950.73.

Since Eberhard Equipment's bid of $4,219.38 for the Peco Collection System is the lowest bid, it is recommended that the
City Council award the bid for the John Deere F935 and the Peco Collection System to Eberhard Equipment for a total of
$18,334.21.
