AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF TREE STUMP GRINDER
RECOMMENDATION;
Request the Tustin City Council at their regular meeting of October 3, 1988, authorize
the purchase of a Tree Stump Grinder from Vermeer-California, Inc. in the amount of
$20,497.46.
BACKGROUND:
The 1988-1989 budget provided for $17,800.00 for the purchase of the Tree Stump
Grinder. The Iow bid of Vermeer-California, Inc. exceeds the budget by fifteen percent
(15%), in part due to the addition of a remote control element which was specified as a
safety feature. The remote control 'feature is relatively new to this type of equipment.
Funds to meet the budget deficiency can be transferred from other less critical, capital
expenditures within the Tree Division to cover the shortfall.
Bids on the Tree Stump Grinder were received until 10:00 A. M., September 22, '1988,
at the office of the City Clerk at which time they were opened. Bids were recieved from
the following vendors in the amounts shown:
