Body
SUMMARY:
On October 3, 2019, Item # 19-6813 Council authorized the purchase of a Pierce Velocity 100-ft. Platform from Ten-8 Fire Equipment per the fiscal year 2019/2020 budget. Ten-8 has offered $35,000.000 for the trade-in of G3404 a 2006 Pierce Dash Aerial Device, VIN# 4P1CD01H36A006598. Going back to 2013, the City has averaged $9,300.00 a vehicle when fire equipment has been sold at auction. Staff believes it is in the best interest of the city to accept the trade-in offer. Furthermore, G3404 does not have a pump which diminishes its value even more.
Council authorization to trade-in G3404 is requested. Pursuant to Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.624(6), exceptions to auction sale bidding procedures, Council approval is required for trade-in of any item with a current market value of more than five thousand dollars ($5,000). The proceeds from the trade-in will be credited to the invoice for the purchase of G5014, which is the new truck authorized in the agenda item mentioned above.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
This trade in revenue will be credited to surplus vehicles in capital project 91244, Aerial Truck. A third quarter budget amendment will recognize this additional revenue.
