City of Lawrence

Finance Department

 

MEMORANDUM

 

DATE:

July 13, 2006

 

 

TO:

David Corliss

 

Interim City Manager

 

 

FROM:

Alan D. Landis

 

Purchasing Specialist

 

 

In 2000 the City purchased a used Oce copy machine for 2nd floor in City Hall.  The service calls are becoming more frequent (resulting in more downtime) and the maintenance provider has expressed concern over being able to find replacement parts.  Approval to purchase a new replacement copy machine was granted last week but the company we are purchasing our new machine from declined to take it as a trade.  I have checked ebay and Gov Deals and can’t find copy machines similar and the ones that were listed had not received any bids.  Due to its age and condition I feel it would cost more in time and listing fees than we could receive.  I request the Oce copy machine be declared salvage and we dispose of it through a recycling firm.

 

Recommendation Action:

Approve disposal of obsolete Oce copy machine through a recycling firm.
