PURPOSE: To consider declaring various vehicles as surplus.
BACKGROUND: The Director of Asset Management Services is authorized to declare items
surplus up to $5,000. Currently the Solid Waste Department has four vehicles that were
recently replaced or are no longer serviceable. It is possible that all may exceed $5,000 in
value. As with numerous previous vehicles and pieces of equipment, staff proposes to sell the
listed vehicles to the highest bidder through GovDeals.com. Although possible, minimum bid
amounts are not contemplated at this time as the significant number of bidders in the past has
precluded the need for minimum bid thresholds. General practice has been to only establish
minimum bids for larger, more valuable vehicles and equipment.

returned to the Solid Waste Management Department enterprise fund.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated
with this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board 1) declare the items
surplus and 2) authorize the AMS Director to affect the sale of the items through GovDeals.
