Surplus Goods |

When goods or property the City owns have been declared surplus, we attempt to dispose of them through public auction, On-line auction (www.govdeals.com) or by sale by tender. We do this to ensure that surplus is being disposed of in a cost effective and environmentally friendly manner and to provide the general public with the opportunity to obtain surplus goods, in a fair and equitable manner. Where no bids are received, the Purchasing Agent may dispose of the goods or property as deemed to be in the best interest of the city.
