Orleans staff to seek bids or list surplus brush truck and vehicles on GovDeals; council considers department‑to‑department sale
Summary
Council discussed selling an old brush truck, an Expedition and other surplus vehicles. Options included department‑to‑department transfer to avoid public bids or listing items on GovDeals; staff will determine value and rules and report back.
The council discussed disposal options for surplus vehicles, including listing them on GovDeals for public auction or selling department‑to‑department to avoid public bidding rules. Staff reported interest from internal departments, and members estimated online auction prices for similar vehicles.
No final sale action was recorded at the meeting; staff were asked to determine condition and market value and to return with recommended sale rules. One member noted that an internal sale would not require bids, while a public sale would. "If we do it department to department, we don't have to do bids," a staff member said, and members asked staff to follow up with specific values and rules.
