SUMMARY:
On August 17, 2023, Council approved the Vehicle Replacement List for fiscal year 2024. Subsequently, on June 20, 2024, Council approved the Vehicle Replacement List for fiscal year 2025, authorizing the purchase of replacement vehicles and equipment. This agenda item seeks council approval to declare surplus the vehicles and equipment identified for replacement on these lists and authorize their disposal via auction through Tampa Machinery Auction in Tampa, FL, and Royal Auction Group in Zephyrhills, FL, in accordance with Section 2.623(6) and (8).
Tampa Machinery Auction and Royal Auction Group were competitively procured by Pinellas County under Contract No. 190-0537-R, valid through November 16, 2027. The vehicles and equipment listed have reached the end of their useful and economic life, as determined by factors such as age, mileage/hours of operation, total life-to-date use, historical maintenance costs compared to similar vehicles, operating costs per mile/hour, anticipated repairs, ongoing maintenance needs, and overall physical condition.
Additionally, Fleet will continue to present agenda items for the disposal of vehicles and equipment from the 2023/24 and 2024/25 Vehicle Replacement Lists as their replacements become road ready.
