Box 1606 1260 West North Temple Salt Lake City, Utah 84116 Attn: Mr. Jordy Smith Re: Park Lawn Mower Bid - January 30, 1985 Dear Mr. Smith: This letter is to inform you of the city's decision regarding the above -referenced bid. First of all, let me thank you for your bid and the time spent by you helping us with information and demonstration of the equipment bid. Our Park Supervisor has had the opportunity to view the Jacobson and Toro machines as well as talk to owners of both. As a result of his investigation we have decided to purchase the Toro 350D machine. Our decision is not based on any aspect of the Jacobson that does not meet bid specifications, but rather the Toro has been "deemed most advantageous to the city." We recognize that each machine has several unique features, not found on the other, that are better than its competitor. However, we have chosen the Toro machine primarily, because it has a much larger frame and "heavier" construction.which we feel are better suited to our needs. We feel this is important since Chubbuck has one large, twelve acre park area that has quite a rough turf ground surface and our.operators are usually seasonal, temporary employees who tend to not care for the machines as well as permanent people. Although there have been no complaints from Jacobson owners, we have received feedback from Toro owners (who tried out both) that the Toro 350E "outperforms" the Jacobson HF -5. This information has also influenced our decision in favor of the Toro. The city feels that these factors justify expenditure of the additional $2216.00 for the Toro 350D over the Jacobson HF -5. Again, we thank you for your bid and your effort in demonstrating the machine. I would be happy to answer any question you might have regarding this matter. Sincerely yours, Steven M.
