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 ninety three (93) Solid Waste & Recycling steel front loading collection containers as surplus, and authorize the County Manager to accept the highest bids 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 reduces the number of collection containers needed at the Collection Centers.
As a result, ninety three (93) containers will be surplused. Of the ninety three (93)front loading containers:
• Twelve (12) are unusable and are recommended for scrap metal disposal.
• Twenty-three (23) 8 yd. containers are recommended for public online auction.
• Fifty-eight (58) 6 yd. containers are recommended for public online auction.
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 eighty one (81) 6 and 8 yd. containers.
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:
Vote to declare ninety three (93) Solid Waste & Recycling steel front loading collection containers as surplus, and authorize the County Manager to accept the highest bids and finalize the sales.
