Subject: Disposal of Former Public Works Administration Trailers.
Background Summary:
Per Florida Statute 274, Public Works is requesting the former Public Works office trailers be declared
surplus so that the City can properly dispose of them. The seven-trailer complex was manufactured in
1997, purchased used by the City in 2001 and relocated to the current site. The City has solicited
vendors and contractors to determine if there are any parties interested in purchasing the trailers and
moving them to another site. Due to the twelve year age of the trailers, their lack of energy efficiency,
the deterioration from normal use and the cost to relocate, the only offers received by the City are for
demolition and disposal. The City also explored the option of providing the trailers to a non-profit
organization where the only cost to the organization would be the relocation. However, this option has
not received a favorable response due to the condition of the trailers, the high costs for relocation and
the over abundance of new and slightly used trailers filling vendor lots at this time.
Public Works proposes to demolish the trailers with City forces in order to avoid incurring any costs for
their removal. Removing the trailers will allow Public Works to more efficiently utilize the facility at 301
Maguire Road.
Issue:
Request the City Commission declare the former Public Works office trailers surplus to permit proper
disposal.
Recommendations
Recommend the City Commission declare the former Public Works office trailers surplus per Florida
Statute 274.
