THE PURCHASE OF A MOWER
WHEREAS, the 2014 budget includes $45,000 in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the
purchase of a replacement mower for use by the Golf Maintenance Division; and
WHEREAS, the Village desires to purchase a 2014 Jacobson 2WD Light Fairway Mower
("Mower"); and
WHEREAS, Section 1-7-10 of the Village Code authorizes the Village to join with other units of

WHEREAS, the National Joint Powers Alliance, through its cooperative purchasing program,
sought bids for Mowers and identified Burris Equipment, of Waukegan, Illinois ("Burris"), as the lowest

competitive bidding and approve the purchase of the Mower from Burris for a total amount not to exceed
$42,413.00; and

determined that it is in the best interests of the Village and its residents to so waive competitive bidding
