RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SALE OF EXCESS CITY VEHICLE
DISCUSSION:
Historv
The City advertised for public sale of a 1991 Chevrolet Caprice.
Originally the vehicle was placed into service as a police squad car.
In a money saving effort our practice is to retain and re-assign police
squad cars for use by other departments. This vehicle has been
retained for use by the Engineering Department for field inspections,
The vehicle is eight years old and will be replaced with a used police
unit early next year when the new squads are purchased,
Current Circumstances
Sealed bids were solicited for the disposition of this vehicle as
authorized by City Code, In addition to the public advertisement, the
notice of sale was sent to several companies specializing in police
car renovation. This bid list contains 16 companies that are located
throughout the country. Two respondents submitted bids. Normally
the newer the vehicle, the greater the response,
Conclusion
Staff is requesting Council approval of the highest price offer, The
City opened bids at 10:00 A.M, on Wednesday morning November
18, 1998, The following bids were received:

Bid submission was accompanied by a certified check in full amount
offered, The bid submitted was similar to past sales by the City for
comparable model years, mileage consideration and condition of the
individual vehicles. Also, the Blue Book retail value for this vehicle
is $4,400,00, However, the Blue Book does not take into
consideration that this was originally a police squad and received
very heavy use,
