Item No.
Authorize the Sale of Assets (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus S.C.B.A)
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to authorize the Sale of Assets (Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus S.C.B.A).
Overview
Council approved on October 18, 2010 to award Metro Fire the contract for replacement
S.C.B.A. for the fire department. The replacement S.C.B.A. delivery has been completed.
In order to comply with Minnesota statutes regarding equipment dispositions, the City staff is
recommending the S.C.B.A. be sold by sealed bids.
The recommended public bid opening is 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at Lakeville
City Hall Council Chambers. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Method of sale alternatives. The assets are proposed to be sold in three (3) lots by sealed bid.
Other alternative sale methods include public auction or consignment at other auction
locations. Since the assets are considered to have limited value, the staff believes the most
cost effective method is sealed bids.
• Public notification. Notice of the auction will be advertised in the City's legal newspaper,
Messages, Smoke Eater, and with various used fire vehicle sellers.
