Title
Vote on a request to adopt a resolution declaring certain county property surplus and authorizing disposal of said property by online public auction.
Abstract
Action Requested:
Consideration of a request to declare two Volvo Front-Loading trucks as surplus, and authorize the County Manager to accept the highest bid and finalize the sales.
Introduction & Background:
The Solid Waste and Recycling division has moved to a new recycling process called Single Stream Recycling. The new method eliminates the use of front-loading containers at the Collection Centers which reduces the number of trucks needed for this service.
Discussion & Analysis:
NC General Statute 160A-270 authorizes the County to dispose of personal property by public auction, either live or electronic. .
The County is considering GovDeals electronic live auction for the disposal of the two Volvo Trucks:
(1) 2002 Volvo Front Loader Truck Vin:4V2DC6UE22N336706
(2) 2010 AutoCar (Volvo) Front Loader Truck Vin: 5VCACLKF1AH209980
We have had some success in the past with GovDeals in online public auctioning specialty items as this reaches a wide market base.
Budgetary Impact: None
Recommendation:
Motion to declare two Volvo Front-Loading trucks as surplus, and authorize the County Manager to accept the highest bid and finalize the sales.
