BACKGROUND:
The District's fleet is comprised of over 106 vehicles and equipment, including
trucks, heavy machinery, trailers and specialized utility equipment. This

equipment is essential for Electric and Water Department daily operations,
transportation requirements, and emergency response. The District maintains
a Vehicle Reserve Fund (Reserve Fund) for the Electric and Water
Departments. The funding of replacement vehicles and equipment comes from
the Reserve Fund, which is replenished with budgeted annual contributions
from the Electric and Water Departments, plus revenue from the sale of
decommissioned vehicles and equipment sold at public auction. The Reserve
Fund and biannual budget process helps to ensure the timely purchase and
replacement of vehicles and equipment essential for the District to reliably and
safely serve customers.
ANALYSIS:
Equipment has been identified that is owned by the District that is no longer
used. The equipment continues to have value which if sold at surplus auction
can benefit the District financially by returning auction proceeds to the vehicle
reserve fund. Additional benefit includes storage area created and general
organization with removal of unused equipment. Staff is recommending sale of
the following items at auction in accordance with District Code 8.20.010.
RCS Pro Series Snow Pusher - Approximate value $2000 dollars. This
implement has not been used since the purchase of the blade for the new
loader in 2018.
2. Ammco Safe -Turn Brake Lathe Model 4000 - Approximate value $1500
dollars It has become faster and more cost effective to purchase new rotors
and drums. Removing steel from the rotor or drum leads to faster wear and
increased maintenance intervals in the mountain topography and terrain.
3. Western Pro Plus Snow Plow -Approximate value $2000 dollars. The truck
that this plow mounted to was sold at auction and the plow was forgotten at
the time of the sale.
