RE:

Sale of surplus equipment on GovDeals

 

 

The following equipment meets or exceeds the criteria for replacement or is no longer useful to the City (see attached spreadsheet). We request City Commission approval to sell the surplus equipment on GovDeals as we have done in the past.

 

POLICE EQUIPMENT

Police Department has one (1) each 2004, 2008, and 2009 Crown Victoria Police Interceptors and one (1) 1996 Chevy Suburban to sell.  The Crown Vics and Suburban have been replaced and are being removed from fleet due to normal rotation and have received all regularly scheduled maintenance. 

 

UTILITIES EQUIPMENT

Utilities Department has a 1999 Ford Taurus SE and a large variety of brass pack joint fittings, non-domestic brass fittings, setter, resetters, Badger meters and 1” Ford setters to sell.  The Taurus has received regularly scheduled maintenance. The large variety of miscellaneous items is being sold as scrap.  All fitting have a lead content higher than .25%.

 

PARKS AND REC EQUIPMENT

Parks and Rec has a 1989 Ditch-Witch C99 Ditch Trencher w/trailer to sell.  This item has received regularly scheduled maintenance, has metal in the oil and needs a chain, teeth and tires.

 

PUBLIC WORKS EQUIPMENT

Public Works Department has a cart to sell.  The Cart Washer is being sold due to it being cost prohibitive.  It uses too much propane in the cleaning process and was replaced in 2012 with a new cart cleaning process.  This cart washer is in good condition and is missing the hand wash wand.

 

PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

Property Maintenance has a 1998 Ford F150 Pickup w/8’ bed to sell.  This vehicle has received regularly scheduled maintenance and has a transmission that is slipping.

 

STREET MAINTENANCE

Street Maintenance Department has a 2007 Atlas Copco Air Compressor XAS97 to sell.  This unit has been removed from the fleet due to normal rotation and has received regularly scheduled maintenance.  Tech reports the compressor is locked up and the screw compressor and veins are damaged.  The tech found galding in the housing and end plate.

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

IT Department has 90 outdated/broken PCs and Laptops to sell.  These outdated/broken PCs and Laptops have been replaced in 2013.

 

MISCELLANEOUS VEHICLES

City has one (1) 1997 Mercury Sable and one (1) 2005 Ford Focus SES.  No maintenance records are available for these vehicles.  The Sable has collision damage on the passenger side door and the Focus has collision damage on the front end.  These two vehicles are not part of City fleet.
