We have a tanker -pumper apparatus and thirteen ladders which no longer meet the needs of
our department. We have typically sent all surplus equipment to the city auctions for
disposal, however, because most of our equipment is specialized, the city has not received
a fair market price for the equipment. This was proved two years ago, when we were
given permission to have a "garage" sale of fire equipment. That effort was very
successful as we received good market value and eliminated the cost of an outside company
to sell our equipment.
It is my recomrnendation that we ask the City Council to declare these items as surplus, and
allow us to sell the tanker -pumper to the highest bidder with a minimum bid of $7,500.00.
The apparatus is a 1960 GMC tanker -pumper with a 1,200 gallon tank and a 750 gallon per
minute Hale two stage pump. License number is: 08316 D.
The ladders would be sold at a set price dependent upon size and condition. The ladder
length, type, condition, and prices are:
