Moroni council authorizes sale of surplus vehicles by sealed bid
Summary
Council authorized staff to advertise and accept sealed bids for surplus vehicles and equipment, setting a public-notice period and requiring successful bidders to remove vehicles within a specified timeframe.
The Moroni City Council authorized the sale of multiple surplus vehicles and equipment from the city yard and directed staff to advertise the sale and accept sealed bids.
Council discussed inventory that includes older dump trucks, a Ford F-250, Chevrolet units and an International truck that may require salvage-by-weight for disposal. Members debated using sealed bids versus an on-site auction; the council favored sealed bids with an advertised base price and a roughly 14-day bidding window. For large items the council indicated the purchaser must remove the vehicle within a short window after payment (council discussed seven days for the largest dump truck).
A motion to proceed with the sale carried after a second; Bagley was recorded as the seconder in the transcript. Staff will publish sale notices in the paper, set a closing date in the notice, and include removal and payment terms in the bidding instructions.
