1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 4, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 6-f <br /> SUBJECT: Authorization to Declare Solid Waste Management Vehicles Surplus <br /> DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management and Asset Management Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Gayle Wilson, 968-2885 <br /> Jeff Thompson 245-2658 <br /> David Cannel) 245-2651 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider declaring various Solid Waste Management vehicles surplus. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Director of Asset Management Services (AMS) is authorized to declare <br /> items surplus up to $5,000. Currently, the Solid Waste Department has seven vehicles that <br /> are/were replaced or are no longer serviceable. Replacement is based upon many factors <br /> including mileage, age, intensity of use, the Department's experience with certain pieces of <br /> equipment, etc. For example, a front loader with relatively low miles has actually been worked <br /> much harder than it would indicate. The engine in the front loader will have excessive amount <br /> of service hours due to the way it is operated. A good portion of its life is spent idling as it <br /> operates the hydraulics to lift containers to empty garbage into the hopper, backing and <br /> maneuvering to position the truck in front of the next container, and operating at low speeds. <br /> It is possible that all the vehicles below may exceed $5,000 in value thereby requiring Board <br /> action to declare them as surplus. <br /> Description Division Year Mileage Vehicle/Equipment Number <br /> Dump Truck Sanitation 1991 124,045 1232 <br /> Flat Bed Truck Recycling 2000 114,024 1486 <br /> SUV Environmental Support 2003 187,386 1566 <br /> Front Loader Recycling 2009 96,654 1781 <br /> Front Loader Sanitation 2009 83,917 1775 <br /> Front Loader Sanitation 2009 95,010 1780 <br /> Hook Truck Recycling 2007 223,469 1680 <br />
