1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 19, 2016 Action Agenda Item No. 6-d SUBJECT: Authorization to Declare Solid Waste Management Items Surplus DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management and Asset Management Services ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Wilson, 968-2885 Jeff Thompson, 245-2658 David Cannel!, 245-2651 PURPOSE: To consider declaring various vehicles as surplus. BACKGROUND: The Director of Asset Management Services is authorized to declare items surplus up to $5,000. Currently the Solid Waste Department has four vehicles that were recently replaced or are no longer serviceable. It is possible that all may exceed $5,000 in value. As with numerous previous vehicles and pieces of equipment, staff proposes to sell the listed vehicles to the highest bidder through GovDeals.com. Although possible, minimum bid amounts are not contemplated at this time as the significant number of bidders in the past has precluded the need for minimum bid thresholds. General practice has been to only establish minimum bids for larger, more valuable vehicles and equipment.

SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board 1) declare the items surplus and 2) authorize the AMS Director to affect the sale of the items through GovDeals.
