r - <br />DEC 1 1999 <br />SALE OF SURPLUS TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT <br />ROOK 78 FgE 610 <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/17/89: <br />DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 19891 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: SALE OF SURPLUS TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In an effort to expand the capacity in our telephone switching <br />equipment certain items were purchased. Upon arrival AT&T was called <br />to- make the required installation. After several unsuccessful <br />attempts by the technician, it was determined by their engineer that <br />our particular model of switch would not accommodate an expansion. <br />Dodgertown has contacted this writer in an effort to purchase the <br />above electronic parts for their telephone system at a price that we <br />paid, including shipping charges. The total price being $2,098.70. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />These parts are new and are only compatible with a DIMINSION <br />telephone system such as ours. The DIMINSION system is no longer <br />being manufactured and cannot be purchased except on the "used <br />equipment" market. For us to return the items to the vendor would <br />require additional cost to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Due to the uniqueness with these electronic parts, staff recommends <br />that authorization be granted to sell the items to Dodgertown for <br />$2,098.70 and a budget amendment be approved to credit the fund from <br />which the purchase monies were expended. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />staff's recommendation to sell the electronic parts to <br />Dodgertown for $2,098.70 and approved Budget Amendment <br />#025 to credit the fund from which the purchase monies <br />were expended. <br />42 <br />
