Commission lists Quonset hut for surplus sale, requires buyer to remove structure
Summary
After discussing reuse, salvage value and removal costs, the Daggett County Commission voted to list a Quonset hut on the government surplus website with no minimum bid; purchasers must remove the structure 'as-is' and the county will not deliver it.
The Daggett County Commission voted Oct. 8 to surplus a Quonset hut and list it on the government surplus website with no minimum bid, requiring successful bidders to remove the structure 'as-is.'
Speaker 5 moved to surplus the Quonset hut on the county's government surplus site without a minimum bid; Speaker 2 seconded. Commissioners debated whether other county departments or the Town of Manila could reuse the building, the logistics of moving it, and the recoverable value for salvage. Estimates in the discussion ranged from about $500 to $2,000 for salvage value; commissioners noted the removal effort took one full day with four people and discussed whether bids should include a minimum to cover removal costs.
The motion passed on a voice vote. The motion specifies the hut will be available 'as-is' and purchasers must load and remove the structure; the county will not provide delivery. Commissioners agreed to a two-week posting window to provide exposure and requested local outreach, including the county newsletter and flyers, to increase interest ahead of winter conditions. Staff was directed to post the item online and follow through with outreach; the commission indicated it will consider salvage or recycling if no acceptable bids are received.
No dollar proceeds or specific minimum were set by the motion; the commission instructed staff to post photos and measurements and to return to the board if significant complications arise.
