ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the Chairman to execute the Releases listed above. <br />COPIES OF SAID RELEASES ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO <br />THE BOARD <br />D. Sale of Surplus Fairway Mowers <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/18/88: <br />TO:WULIAM G.COLLINS II DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 1988 <br />ACTING COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM <br />GUS AMBLER C.P.M. <br />PURCHASING MANAGER <br />SUBJECT: SALE OF SURPLUS <br />FAIRWAY MOWERS <br />REFERENCES: <br />FILE: <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />Sandridge Golf Course has requested that we declare several <br />Fairway Mowers surplus and scrap or sell them. <br />Because demand for mowers of this type is very limited <br />a formal surplus bid would not be practical. <br />It is my opinion that we should negotiate <br />for a contractor that will remove these mowers at <br />no cost to the County. If it is possible to find a mower <br />vendor that has interest in these then a sale maybe possible. <br />Otherwise we will try to find a scrap dealer to remove <br />these mowers at no cost to the County. <br />ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES: <br />The alternative to negotiating would be to do a formal <br />sealed surplus property bid: The cost of this in administrative <br />paperwork will exceed any possible sale value. <br />Therefore, we should use our best judgement in disposing of <br />this equipment. This equipment has a value of less then $500.00. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends that the Fairway Mowers on the attached <br />list be declared surplus and that staff be authorized to <br />dispose of this equipment the most economical way without <br />formal sealed bids. <br />NOV 2 2 1988 <br />6 <br />BOOK 7b ME.218 <br />
