9.b) Sale of Falls V-Plow Meeting Date: 6/15/2010 Agenda Item: �l �� City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209`h St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Authorize sale 1989 Falls Model V-90 Plow. Deadline/Timeline: N/A BaCkground: • The city has been storing a V-plow attachment for the road grader in the former public works building for a number of years. It has not been used for at least 12 years, if not longer. Public Works staff sees little chance that it will be used in the future. At one time, it would have been useful for large snow removal events; however,the newer dump truck/plow combinations can do much the same job. The plow is in good condition. • Staff recommended disposal of this equipment in order to free space in the building for other storage and work space needs. • The city's purchasing policy(Resolution No. 07-15-08-02) requires City Council approval before staff may dispose of any surplus property or equipment valued at $100.00 or greater. The method of disposition must be approved by the Council at the time they determine that the item may be disposed of. • The Council approved sale of the plow at its May 4 meeting. It was advertised on the city web site and in League of Minnesota Cities publications and web site. � The manufacturer of the equipment, Little Falls Machine, Inc., sent a sales representative to look at the plow. They made a verbal offer to purchase the plow. No other offers have been received as of the date of this report. The deadline is 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 15. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council approve the sale of the Falls V-90 plow to the highest bidder.
