Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Improve County Government Operations.
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The fully depreciated equipment value is estimated at $50,000 based on proceeds from recent auctions of similar fixed assets. The funds raised by the sale of the fixed assets identified in Recommendation No. 1 will be used to pay any applicable auction fees. Any remaining funds will be deposited to the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District) Equipment Fund (1970004140) to assist in the purchase of future equipment, as needed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The District owns and operates a number of vehicles and heavy equipment pursuant to its mission of maintaining District facilities. District staff has determined that it is no longer economically beneficial for the District to continue to maintain and/or repair the surplus assets identified in this item.
Disposing of these surplus assets aligns with the County and the Chief Executive Officer’s goals and objectives to improve County government operations and to operate in a fiscally-responsible and business-like manner.
The equipment has been replaced by newer units, which produce fewer emissions in accordance with mandates from the California Air Resources Board. Selling the older units will help the District achieve the required fleet percentage for vehicle emissions. Heavy equipment that does not meet air quality standards must be sold out of state. Once approved for surplus, the equipment will be divided into lots of equal value and sent to the County’s contracted auction vendors for disposition, coordinated through the Purchasing Department, Surplus Property Division.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
