Consideration, discussion, and possible approval to declare certain City owned vehicles, supplies, materials and equipment as surplus and authorize the sale of those items by public auction
end
Background:
The vehicles, supplies, materials, and equipment on the attached list has outlived its usefulness to the City, either through age, use, or obsolescence. The list of surplus items has been circulated to all Departments to see if any of the items could be repurposed elsewhere. An on-line auction will be held following Council approval to dispose of the surplus items. It is anticipated that the auction will be advertised and ready for bidding late May to early June 2016.
The estimated combined value of items to be sold is in excess of $15,000.00. Staff recommends that the City Council declare all items on the attached list as surplus and authorize the sale of those items by public auction. State Statute allows disposal through an on-line auction. This process has been utilized for several years and Staff has found it to be very successful. Proceeds from the sale of surplus items will be deposited into the General Fund and Broken Arrow Municipal Authority (BAMA) funds depending on the sold items source funding.
Cost: $400.00 for advertising in paper of local circulation. Cost associated with using auction site is added to the price of the item sold.
