A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS,
FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DISPOSE OF THE SURPLUS
VEHICLES WHEN THE AUCTION PRICE EXCEEDS THE CITY MANAGER’S
AUTHORITY; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Background
In accordance with City policy, the City Manager at his discretion may sell to the general public, by auction, sealed
bid, or other acceptable method any City-owned surplus property. Sales or trades of surplus supplies or
equipment of a value in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000) shall be approved by the City Council.
The City participates in the Southeast Florida Cooperative Group RFP for Auction Services. Fisher Auction
Company, Inc. located in Miami, Florida was awarded “On-Site Auction Services” and Rene Bates Auctioneers, Inc.
located in McKinney, Texas was awarded “Internet Auction Services”. City Staff will arrange to have Rene Bates
Auctioneers, Inc. conduct an on-line auction of vehicles that are being taken out of service.
AGENDA ITEM K-20
SURPLUS VEHICLE AUCTION FY 2018
18605 NW 27 Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Current Situation
Staff estimates that ten (10) fleet units will be taken out of service as surplus during fiscal year 2018 and sold at
auction. This consist of vehicles that have collision damage and not deemed a total loss by our insurance provider,
require extensive mechanical repairs, or deemed unreliable due to age or mileage. Staff is unable to predict at this
time exactly which units they are because they are based upon future events and by nature sales prices by auction
are not predictable. While the average estimated sale price is $1,500, the possibility exists that any one given
vehicle could auction for a sale price greater than the City Manager’s authority of $5,000.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager dispose of surplus vehicles when the auction price exceeds
$5,000 per unit.
