Background:
The City of Broken Arrow replaces certain equipment and assets when they reach the end of their useful lifecycles, at which point the cost of ownership exceeds their benefit to our community. The item listed has reached this stage due to age, usage, or obsolescence. Upon approval from the Governing Body, The City of Broken Arrow will transfer ownership of this item to the City of Nowata in exchange for due consideration in the form of labor on a future project.
The City of Nowata recently lost their public works facility and multiple equipment assets due to a fire, as such, there is an immediate need for equipment and resources so they may continue to provide services to the community. The City of Broken Arrow intended to surplus and auction unit 0712 as it has been removed from service and deemed past useful life for our needs. The unit has an estimated value of $7,000 but could offer the City of Nowata a vital piece of equipment to utilize in service of their citizens and our Oklahoma neighbors.
