PURPOSE: To consider declaring various Solid Waste Management vehicles surplus.
BACKGROUND: The Director of Asset Management Services (AMS) is authorized to declare
items surplus up to $5,000. Currently, the Solid Waste Department has seven vehicles that
are/were replaced or are no longer serviceable. Replacement is based upon many factors
including mileage, age, intensity of use, the Department's experience with certain pieces of
equipment, etc. For example, a front loader with relatively low miles has actually been worked
much harder than it would indicate. The engine in the front loader will have excessive amount
of service hours due to the way it is operated. A good portion of its life is spent idling as it
operates the hydraulics to lift containers to empty garbage into the hopper, backing and
maneuvering to position the truck in front of the next container, and operating at low speeds.
It is possible that all the vehicles below may exceed $5,000 in value thereby requiring Board
action to declare them as surplus.
