TRAFFIC COUNTERS DECLARED SURPLUS AND SOLD TO CITY OF <br />VERO BEACH <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 31, 1995: <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director 'V <br />FROM: Christopher R. Mora, P.E. Cvvl <br />County Traffic Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Authorization to Surplus Traffic Counters and Transfer Ownership to the <br />City of Vero Beach Engineering Department <br />DATE: March 31, 1995 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />In 1992, the Traffic Engineering Division upgraded all the traffic counting equipment. This <br />upgrade left six GK5010 Traffic Counters that were no longer compatible with current <br />computer software. The counters are in poor condition and have been in reserve status <br />since that time. <br />On March 6, 1995, Traffic Engineering Staff was contacted by Gregory Garcia, Traffic <br />Inspector/Designer for the City of Vero Beach Engineering Department, as to the <br />availability of the reserve counters. We informed Mr. Garcia that the counters were no <br />longer in use and in poor condition, and would need extensive repairs to make them <br />operable. Given this understanding, Mr. Garcia formally requested that the reserve <br />counters be sold to the City for the sum of $600. <br />ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS: <br />Traffic Engineering Division recommends against spending county funds to repair traffic <br />counting equipment that is no longer compatible with current computer software. It should <br />be noted that the counters have not been in use since 1992. Staff submits that the <br />usable service fife has been obtained from these counters and recommends that they be <br />removed from the inventory of the Traffic Engineering Division,and sold to the City of <br />Vero Beach Engineering Department for $600. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the six GK5010 Traffic Counters be declared surplus and sold to <br />the City of Vero Beach Engineering Department for the total sum of $600, with the <br />understanding that the counters are in poor condition. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />declared six GK5010 Traffic Counters surplus <br />and directed they be sold to the City of Vero <br />Beach for $600, as recommended by staff in the <br />memorandum. <br />15 <br />April 11, 1995 <br />BOOK 94 Fr1uE 836 <br />
