summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
After carefully evaluating financing options for acquiring equipment for the Fire, Park & Recreation, Public Works, and Facilities Maintenance departments, it has been concluded that lease-purchase financing is the most beneficial option for the City. Following a thorough solicitation of proposals from several banks, TD Bank was selected, offering. TD Bank provides a competitive fixed rate of 4.42% for a 5-year term. This selection aligns with our goal to secure the best financing option for these essential capital acquisitions in fiscal year 2027. These capital outlay items were approved by the City Commission in the approved and adopted fiscal year 2027 budget. Purchase of these items will be handled by the City’s Purchasing Department in concurrence with the City Manager, including the utilization of joint bids, cooperative bids, state contract prices, and prices obtained by other governmental agencies through competitive bidding. This allows the City to take advantage of negotiated prices obtained by large agencies (i.e. the state or the Sheriff) or cooperative arrangements, whereby multiple entities have worked together to buy goods and services at a lower cost.
