§ 2-116. Authorization to dispose of surplus goods.

(a)

No user department/division shall transfer, sell, trade-in, or otherwise dispose of goods owned by the city without written authorization of the procurement division.

(b)

User departments shall notify the procurement division of all excess goods in writing on such forms and at such times as the procurement division may prescribe.

(c)

Insofar as is feasible and practical, the procurement division shall transfer excess goods to other city departments.

(d)

Surplus goods shall be offered to the public or other persons or entities through competitive selection processes, public auction, established markets, posted prices or other appropriate methods as approved by the procurement division in the best interests of the city. Surplus goods may be offered by donation to other governmental entities or to private nonprofit agencies. It is recognized, however, that some types and classes of goods may be sold or disposed of more readily and advantageously by other procedures, including barter. In such cases, the procurement division may employ such other means, including appraisal, provided the procurement division makes a written determination that such procedure is advantageous to the city.
