Bou 94 PAGE 666 <br />ANALYSIS <br />Using historical data, it has been estimated that selling of <br />heavy equipment items on the surplus items list would net <br />approximately $15,000 in sales using the sealed bid process. <br />Tampa Machinery and Auction Inc. conservatively projects that <br />the County should net approximately $24,177 for the sale of this <br />equipment using their services. This reflects a 58% increase in <br />revenue by auctioning the items in lieu of sealed bids. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends Board approve Tampa Machinery and Auction, Inc. <br />for auctioneering services and request authorization for Chairman <br />to execute the applicable agreement. It is also requested that <br />authorization be granted to incorporate auctioneering services into <br />Purchasing Policies and Procedures Manual, as an approved <br />alternative for disposal of surplus property. <br />Chairman Macht asked that staff keep a record of the success <br />rate of the plan and report back to the Board in 6 months. <br />Commissioner Bird recalled when the 1983 Belarus Tractor was <br />purchased by the County the headlines in the Press -Journal read <br />"Commission Sees Red" as some parts of the tractor were of Russian <br />manufacture. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board by a 4-0 vote <br />(Commissioner Tippin being absent) approved Tampa <br />Machinery and Auction, Inc. for Auctioneering <br />Services; authorized the Chairman to execute the <br />Agreement for Auctioneering Services; authorized <br />staff to incorporate auctioneering services into the <br />Purchasing Policies and Procedures Manual as an <br />approved alternative for disposal of surplus <br />property; and directed staff to report back on <br />auctioneering service rates in 6 months. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />MARCH 1, 1995 y� <br />
