Hooksett orders new baler and lists surplus trailer/baler on GovDeals; staff expect winter deliveries
Summary
Staff said the town placed an order for a new baler (12'to 16'week lead time) and listed the old baler and a dump trailer on GovDeals. Staff described recent baler repairs and expectations for auction results.
The transfer-station staff told the committee they placed an order for a new baler last week and expect delivery in 12 to 16 weeks, likely over the winter. The staff member said the old baler had a plate break and was repaired but will be posted for sale on GovDeals, the government surplus auction site.
"So we're gonna try to sell it on GovDeals," the staff member said, describing plans to record video of the machine before disconnecting it for sale. The staff member also said a dump trailer is listed on GovDeals and indicated a hope that bidding will increase in the final auction minutes.
Committee members discussed the practicalities of surplus sales and noted GovDeals is open to the general public. Staff said the new trailer already arrived and described using GovDeals previously to sell town equipment.
No formal votes were taken; staff will proceed with the planned purchase, repairs and surplus listings.
