Re: Resolution 79 -14 - Disposal of City-Owned Property (Restaurant Equipment and
Vehicles)
Summary
Resolution 79 -14 authorizes the City Manager to dispose of restaurant equipment and certain vehicles
that are no longer in service. The restaurant equipment and motor vehicles, which staff has identified
for auction are detailed in the attached Exhibit A and B, respectively.
Section 37.08 of the Dublin Codified Ordinance requires City Council authorization for disposal of all
motor vehicles or other property valued at $5,000 or above. Staff has determined that the restaurant
equipment will be sold as one lot and the potential value of this lot may exceed $5,000. Selling the
equipment as one lot will reduce the City's exposure to potential liability and simplify the removal
process.
Details on the demolition of the Digger and Finch property and the sale of surplus equipment were
outlined in an Info Only memo provided to Council in the September 8, 2014 meeting packet, a copy of
which is attached. This restaurant equipment will be sold by internet auction, as authorized by Section
37.08. Upon approval of this resolution, bidding will open as soon as practical after September 22, 2014
and will remain open the required minimum of two weeks. To garner the widest interest in the
restaurant equipment, the City will contact local associations who may have interested parties to make
sure they are aware of the internet auction. This information will also be available on the City of Dublin
website along with a link to take customers directly to the auction website at www.govdeals.com.
As Council is aware, motor vehicle replacement is incorporated with the Capital Improvement Program
(CIP). Before vehicles are taken out of service, an evaluation is completed as to the current condition
and maintenance history. If, after the evaluation, the vehicle is determined to have had minimal
maintenance costs and staff believes the vehicle provides continued value to the City, the vehicle will
be maintained as part of the City's fleet and the replacement schedule will be modified. It has been
determined that it is in the best interest of the City to dispose of the vehicles listed on Exhibit B through
internet auction.
Under the terms of the City's agreement with GovDeals, the City will pay a commission to GovDeals of
7.5% of sale proceeds; however, the City will incur no cost unless the items are sold. The GovDeals site
is well known among public entities and will provide a broad pool of prospective buyers for city surplus
items.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 79 -14.

Re: Restaurant equipment within the former Digger and Finch Restaurant.
Background
As authorized by Ordinance No. 75 -12, the City of Dublin purchased the Digger and Finch
Restaurant and surrounding property including all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) except
for certain specified exemptions. As part of the realignment of Riverside Drive, the property is
scheduled for demolition in October 2014. As such, staff has been evaluating the most cost
effective and efficient manner in which to dispose of the FF&E.
Summary
Staff contacted two qualified auctioneers and investigated the option of conducting a live salvage
auction of the FF&E. However, subsequent discussions between staff and the auctioneers indicated
that contractual concerns, including expenses and pricing, insurance and indemnification
requirements, and liability issues, precluded that option.
Therefore, Staff recommends that the various restaurant equipment be sold by Internet auction, as
authorized by Section 37.07 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances. In order to mitigate potential
liability to the City, reduce City expenditures and potential damages, and to simplify the disposal
process, it is anticipated that the restaurant equipment will be sold in one lot. For those same
reasons, the potentially salvageable parts of the building will be bid out as part of the demolition
process, thereby reducing the costs associated with the demolition of the building. As the potential
value of this lot of restaurant equipment exceeds $5,000, a resolution authorizing this action will
be forthcoming on the September 22, 2014 Council meeting agenda.
Bidding for the equipment will open as soon as practical and will remain open the required
minimum of two weeks. To ensure the widest interest in the restaurant equipment, the City will
advertise in surrounding local newspapers and contact local associations who may have interested
parties. This information will also be available on the City of Dublin website along with a link to
take customers directly to the auction website at www.govdeals.com.
Under the terms of the City's agreement with GovDeals, the City will pay a commission 7.5% of
sale proceeds; however, the City will incur no cost unless the items are sold. The GovDeals site is
well -known among public entities, including Dublin, and will likely provide a much broader pool of
prospective buyers for City surplus items.
