McCrady, City Manager <br /> Ron Neufeld, Financial Management Director <br /> Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing Supervisor(k <br /> SUBJECT: Purchase of Outboard Motor <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding contract to BRP US, Inc., to <br /> furnish one (1) E20ODHLII 200 horsepower 20" shaft E-Tec Evinrude outboard motor. <br /> BACKGROUND: The outboard motor will be used by Lake Services on a patrol boat. The old <br /> outboard motor is a 2006 Evinrude with 2875 hours of service on it and is in fair condition. The <br /> outboard motor is budgeted for replacement this fiscal year. The old motor will be sold at a later <br /> date. <br /> This is a sole source purchase. The department has standardized with BRP motors for several <br /> years. This allows for standardization of parts. In addition, the service center for BRP motors is <br /> local (Mt. Zion), as compared to having to take it out of town to be serviced. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Lake Services requested the motor and approves of the <br /> purchase. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Keith Alexander, Water Management Director, 424-2863.

Keith will be at the meeting to answer any questions <br /> the council may have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $11,803 from the Water Operating Fund. <br />
