Re: FY16 John Deere Gator Utility Vehicle for Parking Maintenance
The Parking Department utilizes the current 2006 John Deere Gator on a daily basis for everything
from collecting funds from the parking meters to assisting with winter maintenance activities. The
Gator has substantial rust on both the bed and floor of the machine, which would need to be fixed
or replaced in order to pass inspection. As such the Parking Department believes the Gator has
reached the end of its useful life.
Nashua Parking Department solicited bids for a new John Deere Gator Utility Vehicle under
1FB0535-060316 posted on the City website on May 25, 2016. The following four (4) bids were
received:
1. North Country Tractor, Sanford, ME
$24,353.61 including upgraded wheels and tires
2. North Country Tractor, Concord, NH
$20,959 including upgraded wheels and tires
3. James R. Rosencrantz & Sons, Inc. East Kingston, NH
$20,399 + $862 for upgraded wheels and tires for a total of $21,821
4. Nashua Outdoor Power Equipment, Nashua, NH
§20,700 including upgraded wheels and tires
Nashua Outdoor Power Equipment was the low bidder at $20,700. The Parking department
currently uses this vendor for supplies and part purchases. They have provided us with the lowest
price and are including upgraded wheels and tires. They are also a local vendor.
The Community Development Division recommends that the John Deere Gator Utility Vehicle
contract be awarded to Nashua Outdoor Power Equipment, Nashua, NH in the amount of
$20,700.
