Subject Disposal of Surplus Sanitation Trucks.
Background Summary:
The Commission declared Sanitation trucks 742, 744 & 749 surplus at the September 1, 2015 meeting
per Florida Statute 274, in order to properly dispose of them. George Gideon Auctioneers, Inc.,
(Gideon) has advertised the trucks through on-line auctions with minimum pricing reserves set on all
three trucks totaling $94,000.00. The reserve pricing was estimated in the 2014/15 budget based on
the anticipated future value of the trucks at time of disposal. The bids received to date on the closed
auctions total $68,000.00. The reduced bid pricing is based on the trucks now being ten (10) years old
with bodies that require significant repair work to be utilized again in service.
In previous years, Public Works successfully sought out potential vendors outside of our State network.
Following several site inspections this year from truck vending firms, Public Works was informed the
market now holds a low interest in the pre-emission trucks we are offering. Due to the low demand for
the two (2) 2006 side arm load trucks and one (1) 2006 recycling truck, Public Works recommends
Commission approval for Gideon to accept offers below the current reserves that are in line with the
used truck market and per staff concurrence. The anticipated revenue will be realized in the current
fiscal year.
Issue:
Request the City Commission to approve the sale of the surplus sanitation trucks based on the
current used truck market.
Recommendations:
Recommend the City Commission approve the sale of Sanitation trucks 742, 744 & 749 (asset
numbers VEH0305, VEH0307 & VEH0312, respectively) through George Gideon Auctioneers, Inc.,
without reserve to align with current used truck market pricing. Public Works staff to concur on
acceptance of final pricing.
Attachments: None.
Financial Impact:
The surplus value of the trucks will be incorporated into the current fiscal years' Sanitation revenues.
