for the purchase of two 48" and one 84" riding mowers:
Bidder 48' Mower 84' Mower
Cali~rnia Turf No Bid $27,925.00

Jacobsen No Bid $16,278.00
Bob Hicks No Bid $22,633.00*
Bob Hicks (alternate) No Bid $26,959.00*
*These items would appear to be lower than the recommended award items, but do not
meet specs.
WHEREAS, the first low bid for the 48" mower, C.Ro Jaeschke, requested exceptions
to the specifications that would negatively affect the productivity of the mower and which
exceptions were not accepted by the Fleet Manager and operating department; and
WHEREAS, the first low bid for the 84" mower, Jacobsen, bid a mower that was
smaller in size than the specifications and its cutting width was narrower and the engine
horsepower was less; these exceptions were not accepted by the Fleet Manager and operating
department; and
WHEREAS, the second and third low bids, Howard Price Mowers, distributed by Bob
Hicks Turf Equipment Co., Inc., were rejected by the Fleet Manager and operating department
because they did not meet specs particularly in the area of the Power Take Off (PTO) and
clutch; and
WHEREAS, for the 48" mowers, Pacific Lawnmower was the apparent second low bid,
with a pre-tax price of $7,436.65 and for the 84" mower, California Turf was the apparent
fourth low bid with a pre-tax price of ~27,925.00; and
WHEREAS, however, due to non-responsiveness of the lower bidders to the advertised
specifications, both of the firms were, in fact, the low bidders for the mowers.
