Lafayette City Council declares three pieces of equipment surplus, clears them for sale
Summary
The Lafayette City Council approved declarations of surplus for a 2016 fire-department copier, 12 police sound bars and an industrial computer, authorizing staff to offer the items for sale on GovDeals.
The Lafayette City Council approved declarations of surplus for three pieces of municipal equipment and authorized staff to offer them for sale on the online auction site GovDeals.
Dave Payne, purchasing manager, told the council, "I've got 3 requests for surplus today," listing a 2016 fire department copier, 12 GoGroove Sonaverse UBR sound bars from the police department and a Logic Supply MO100 industrial computer from the IT department. Payne said the computer is "really kinda worthless" for city use but one employee wanted it for parts and staff planned to put the items on GovDeals.
The surplus declarations were considered and approved by voice vote after motions and seconds; all votes were announced as "aye." The motions were routine approvals to clear the equipment for disposal or sale rather than for continued city use.
Declaring the items surplus allows the purchasing office to proceed with auction or disposal procedures under its procurement and surplus-property policies. No dollar estimates for expected sale proceeds were provided during the discussion.
The Prairie Oaks Force Main permanent bypass project remained under advisement earlier in the meeting and was not part of these surplus actions.
