Summary:
This action declares the listed items as surplus and authorizes their sale. A determination has been made that the usefulness of the listed miscellaneous equipment and vehicles to County operations has been exhausted. Excluding any interested governmental or not-for-profit agencies, these assets are to be liquidated through public auction conducted by Tampa Machinery Auction, Manheim and GovDeals.com under provisions of the existing approved contracts.
On June 27, 2016, Real Estate Management will distribute to Suwannee County Board of County Commissioners, per Board approve resolution on March 18, 2003, a Notice of Surplus Equipment.
On July 4, 2016, Real Estate Management will distribute to interested governmental units, Board Dependent Districts, and all department directors under the jurisdiction of the BCC, constitutional and other elected officials, and other departments, a Notice of Surplus Equipment.
On July 11, 2016, Real Estate Management will distribute to Pinellas County School Board, Juvenile Welfare Board and Social Action Funding entities, a Notice of Surplus Equipment.
Background Information:
Miscellaneous equipment consists of computers, electronics, office equipment and furniture. Departments, constitutional officers and other elected officials transfer items that have reached the end of their useful life to surplus for disposition. Regarding vehicles, Fleet Management staff evaluates units that have reached the end of their specific retention period and are scheduled for replacement. Factors including age, mileage, and 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 is quantified. If these cost 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, it has been determined that the unit is no longer needed due to a change in mission and cannot be reallocated within the organization.
Fiscal Impact:
Revenues derived from surplus sales vary with each auction. Distribution of the proceeds from miscellaneous equipment to the General Fund; from the sale of designated computer equipment to the Computer Replacement Fund; and, from vehicles sold from governmental funds to the Fleet Internal Service Fund to offset the replacement cost of future vehicles.
