ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: March 2, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~-' ~ <br />SUBJECT: Declaring Four Pieces of Landfill Equipment Surplus <br />DEPARTMENT: AMPS and Solid Waste PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, AMPS, 245-2652 <br />Gayle Wilson, Solid Waste, 968-2788 <br />__ <br />PURPOSE: To consider declaring four pieces of heavy equipment as surplus property. <br />BACKGROUND: In March of 2006 the Board authorized the disposal of surplus personal <br />property and confiscated property through GovDeals, an online auction service. The Director of <br />Asset Management and Purchasing Services is authorized to declare items surplus up to <br />$5,000. Currently the Landfill has the following four pieces of equipment that are no longer <br />needed and therefore need to be sold. It is anticipated all will exceed the $5,000 threshold. <br />ITEM SERIAL NUMBER <br />2000 Terex TS14G Pan/Scra er S4261075 <br />1999 Terex TS14D-11 Pan/Scra er S7361090 <br />2002 Komatsu 155AX Dozer 75089 <br />1999 Mack Roll Off Truck 1 M2P267CXXM044307 <br />The heavy equipment was primarily utilized during the construction of both landfills. Due to the <br />length of hauling cover material from the borrow area for daily cover, the scraper pans are no <br />longer used in daily operations. The dozer assisted in this operation and is also no longer <br />utilized. The Mack truck repair cost has exceeded its value and is no longer in service. No <br />maintenance and repair costs have been budgeted for this equipment for the past several <br />years. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Proceeds from the sale of these items, less any applicable fees, will be <br />returned to the Solid Waste Operations budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) declare the items <br />surplus, and 2) authorize the AMPS Director to effect the sale of the items through GovDeals. <br />
