Contract (att #3)
PURPOSE: To consider awarding a contract for disposal of surplus property via electronic
aucticn from Gov Deals of Montgomery, Alabama.
BACKGROUND: Orange County has historically disposed of its surplus and confiscated
property by public auction, The auction has customarily been scheduled about every 18
months, or at such time sufficient surplus items were accumulated to draw interest in the
auction, generally driven by the number of vehicles available for sale. This method has number
of drawbacks which include, but are not limited to: the time spent by Purchasing, Public Works
and other departmental staff to prepare for the auction; storage space for the surplused items
pending auction; time decay of assets awaiting auction; and a limited pool of bidders.
N,C,G,S. 160A-270 allows far the use of Electronic Auctions to dispose of surplus property,
Electronic auctions have increased in reliability and integrity aver the past several years and
many local governments are finding it a first rate way to dispose of their surplus property.
Based on a recent assessment, staff believes it is time for Orange County to also move in that
direction, Far your information, attached is a list of North Carolina public entities currently
using GovDeals (attachment #1 ).
In general, the process works like other on-line auctions with which you may be familiar:
• County staff will photograph the item to be auctioned and it will be listed on line with a
description,
• Persons wishing to bid may visit the web site and do so.
• Bidding deadlines will be identified on the web site, after which bidding will close and the
deal can be finalized,
The successful high bidder will send the County the funds to satisfy the high bid and will
arrange to pick up the items from where they sit. The County will not be responsible for
packing and/or shipping auctioned items.
GovDeals will bill the County monthly a flat amount of 7'/2% of total sale for items sold for
less than $100,000. A lesser percentage will be charged for the amount in excess of
$100,000, although these times will be extremely rare, if ever, As a point of reference, the
County's experience with auctioneer fees is generally around 5% of total proceeds,
The County may set reserves on any items.
The County may reject any bid and keep the item at any point in the process prior to
settlement with the high bidder.
The County would enter into anon-exclusive contract with GovDeals that would allow us to sell
surplus items on their website at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
The GovDeals web site offers the County flexibility in setting up restricted areas on the website
for specific items available for reallocation. Far example, if the County chooses to do so, a
specific area of the website may be set aside to list computers or other assets that are restricted
far transfer to specific groups, such as non-departmental agencies that the County funds,
Those entities can access the site and select items for no cost, other than any cost incurred
from picking up the items from the County. The general public would not have access to that
section of the website,
It is staffs understanding that Orange County Schools is also entering into an agreement with
GovDeals, Staff from the two entities have discussed a number of ways that they could
collaborate to educate the local buyers who may have attended auctions in the past about the
new process,
Additional details regarding benefits and services are included on attachment #2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County would incur no cost until such time it sells items via the
GovDeals website. There are no licensing fees, nor monthly recurring costs, Items sold via
GovDeals are subject to a fee of seven and one-half (7'h%) of the closing sales price. Single
items sold in excess of $100,000 will be charged a smaller percentage on the amount that
exceeds $100,000. Historically revenue far auctions have been around $30,000, of which
approximately $1,500 (5%) was paid for auctioneer services,
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award a contract for
electronic auction services to GovDeals of Montgomery, Alabama, subject to County Attorney
and staff review; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board.
