materials or equipment exists in any department, the Finance
Director may transfer the same to any other department or depart-
ments having a need for such stock or any portion thereof on
approval of the City Manager. When it is found by the Finance
Director that a surplus of stock, materials and/or equipment exists
which is not needed for use by any City department, the City
Manager may authorize the sale thereof by the Finance, Director, and
the proceeds from any such sale or sales shall be deposited ill the
City treasury. Such sale or sales shall be conducte~ in any manner
approved by City Council or in the following manner:
A. Upon authorization of the City Manager, the Firlance
Director shall obtain competitive and formal quotations for' the
sale of surplus stock, materials or equipment, when any one item or
group of items offered for sale amounts to more than one thousand
dollars ($1,000.00) in appraised resale value.
B. When items offered for sale amount to more than one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in appraised resale value, the Finance
Director shall cause notice of sale to be published at least five
(5) days before the sale, in the official newspaper, giving a
general description of the items to be sold, where bids are to be
received, and the time and place of sale. The Firlance Director
shall, in addition, solicit sealed quotations from prospective
buyers, by telephone or by sending them copies of newspaper
notices, or other methods designed to reach the greatest number of
prospective buyers.
C. When any separate item or items of such surplus
stock, material or equipment to be offered for sale amounts to one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or less, the Finance Director may
ORIGI~qAL
accept informal written bids or quotations for the sale of such
item or items, without causing a notice of sale to be published in
a newspaper.
D. At the time and place of sale of such surplus stock,
material or equipment, oral bids may be considered by the Finance
Director, after giving proper notice of such fact, provided such
oral bids shall be at least ten percent (10%) higher than the
highest written bid received at the time of opening of bids.
E. The Finance Director may, at his or her discretion,
require cash or a cashier's check in an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the price bid to be deposited by the bidder at the time of
making or submitting his or her bid. The person to whom any bid is
awarded shall consummate the purchase within five (5) days from
then, excluding the day of the award of such bid.
F. Whenever another governmental entity or a non-profit
organization having tax exempt status as determined under Section
501 (c) Internal Revenue Code has requested the opportunity to
purchase surplus stock, materials or equipment, the Finance
Director may, without complying with other provisions of this
section, negotiate with such governmental entity or non-profit
organization for the price to be charged for such surplus stock,
materials or equipment. Any sale to a governmental entity or non-
profit organization shall be subject to confirmation and approval
by the City Council which, in its discretion, may authorize or
reject such sale. If the sale is rejected, the property will be
disposed as surplus stock, materials or equipment as provided by
the provisions of this chapter.
G. When surplus stock, material or equipment is unique
(e.g., refuse truck, fire truck, street sweeper) and does not lend
itself to disposal by the aforementioned procedures, the Finance
Director may retain the services of an equipment broker to dispose
of said surplus items if the use of said broker would, in the
opinion of the Finance Director, allow the City to receive the
maximum market value for the equipment.
SECTION 2.
This Ordinance shall be posted in accordance with
provisions of the Bakersfield Municipal Code and shall become
effective thirty (30) days from and after the date of its passage.
