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. The City of Owen Sound currently has the following items listed. |
