Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Kristin Daniels, Director, Office of Management and Budget <br />Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />PREPARED BY: Shelby Ball, Purchasing Specialist <br />SUBJECT: Designation of Excess Equipment as Surplus and Authorization for <br />Disposal and Trade -In <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The equipment on the attached list has been determined excess to the needs of Indian River <br />County and requires disposal in accordance with Florida Statutes and Comptroller Division <br />Policies. Items indicated for disposal will be sold by online auction, and funds received from the <br />sale of these items will be returned to the appropriate accounts. <br />The Department of Utility Services was approached by its supplier of water meters, Empire Pipe <br />& Supply ("Empire"), with a proposed Loyalty Program. Under this program, Octave brand <br />meters less than ten years old that have been removed from service due to operating failure <br />may be returned to Empire, in return for a deduction in the cost of replacement meters. <br />Depending on the model of meter returned, the decrease in cost of a replacement will vary <br />from 46 to 68 percent. We currently utilize a similar program for Master Meter brand water <br />meters. Meters the Department is requesting to be returned are indicated on the list's <br />"disposal method" column as "trade-in". <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost to the County associated with these requests. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board declare the items on the Excess List for 031125 as surplus, and <br />authorize their disposition, as indicated. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />Excess List for 031125 <br />59 <br />
