Body
Background Information:
Fleet Management Division staff evaluates equipment and vehicles that have reached the end of their specific retention period and are scheduled for replacement. Factors including age, mileage, historical cost as compared to other units within the same class, operating cost per mile, anticipated repairs, and physical condition are considered. Based upon this evaluation, the projected increase in repair and maintenance costs, and the estimated decrease in salvage value (at auction) associated with retaining the unit for an additional year are quantified. If these costs exceed the annual replacement assessment, the unit is deemed to have reached the end of its useful economic life. Occasionally, a unit that has not reached the end of its useful economic life is recommended for surplus. In these instances, Fleet Management has determined that the unit is no longer needed due to a change in mission and cannot be reassigned within the organization.
Surplus rolling stock, including vehicles, trucks, tractors, trailers and miscellaneous items will be available through public auction by JJ Kane Auctions in accordance with Florida Statute 274.06. Unlike miscellaneous surplus property, surplus rolling stock is not available for donation.
Fiscal Impact:
This item has no fiscal impact on Pinellas County. Proceeds from the sale of vehicles and miscellaneous equipment will be returned to the originating fund, with proceeds designated to the Fleet Vehicle Replacement Fund serving to offset future vehicle replacement costs.
