Ventnre (CPV) The City of Arden Hills currently pays $350.00 armually to maintain rnembership in the Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture Program (CPV). This allows the City to participate in State specifications and bid prices, resulting in the City of Arden Hills paying the same amount for a single piece of equipment, as the State does for numerous pieces. The discount is such that a City buying a new piece of equipment through the CPV will typically pay less than buying a slightly used piece of equipment, which was not purchased through the CPV. MTI Distributing is the vendor that has the State contract for Toro equipment. Bndl!et The proposed piece of replacement equipment will be a Toro Groundsmaster 325 D 4x4 with a 72" side discharge deck. The cost for the new Toro Groundmaster 325 D is $17,492.00. (Without the CPV the cost is $25,723.00. The CPV produces savings of 32%). The utilities will include a Cab with heater, defroster fan, lights and wiper, one ETEC broom with power angling and Quick attachments for the tractor, deck and broom.
