Driven Rotary Lawn Mower for the Cemetery Department, recommended that the bid of Turf Aid Distri-
buting Co., of Billings. on a 1976 Model Excel Hustler 272A complete with 72" mower deck, less trade
of one Deines 48" Mower in the amount of $4,000.00, be accepted as the best bid submitted and equaling
or exceeding all specifications contained in the "Call for Bids."
Of the two lower bids submitted, this is the first time the Heston has been introduced in the
State of Montana and the City of Bozeman would be the proving ground for this particular model. Also
the Hustler is 600# heavier than either of the two lower bidded brands and has a more efficient drive
system. At the present the City has several machines similiar to the Hustler and therefore would not
have the increased expense of carrying extra maintenance parts.

of the 1976 Model Excel Hustler 272A. It was moved by Commissioner Taylor. seconded by Commissioner
Vandeventer. that the Commission reject the two lower bids and accept the bid of Turf Aid Distribut-
ing Co., of Billings, on a 1976 Model Excel Hustler 272A complete with 72" mower less trade of one
Deines 48" Mower in the amount of $4,000.00 as being the best bid submitted and equaling or exceeding
the specifications as contained in the "Call for Bids." The motion was carried by the following Aye
and No vote: those voting Aye being Commissioner Taylor. Commissioner Vandeventer, Commissioner
Lehrkind, Commissioner Sedivy and Mayor Vollmer; those voting No, none.
