Commission declares several engineering vehicles surplus, approves mixed sell/scrap approach

Covington County Commission · May 12, 2026

Summary

The commission approved declaring multiple engineering vehicles surplus — three listed for sale via GovDeals and one cabin/parts item to be scrapped — based on department recommendation that some items are no longer serviceable.

Engineering staff reviewed a proposed list of surplus items (packet page 49) that included a 2008 Ford F350, a 2006 Ford F250, a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado and at least one cabin/closure piece deemed scrap. Staff explained that three items could be sold on GovDeals and that the cabin closure or similar scrap items lacked marketability and should be scrapped.

A motion to sell three vehicles on GovDeals and to scrap the cabin‑closure item was made and seconded; the commission approved the mixed approach. Derek said the scrap designation was a professional assessment and that if vehicles do not sell through online auction, the county reserves the option to scrap them.
