1.0910.01 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Issue date: 9/12/96

No District employee shall transfer, sell, or trade in any property/equipment owned by the District/State without written authorization of the Superintendent. 1. Transfer of surplus property a. Insofar as feasible and practical, the Superintendent will authorize the transfer of surplus property and/or equipment between schools. 2. Sale of surplus property a. Surplus property shall be declared surplus by the Board and then shall be offered to the general public through competitive sealed bids or public auction. It is recognized, however, that some types and classes of items can be sold more readily and advantageous by other means. In such cases, and also where the nature of the property or unusual circumstances call for its sale to be restricted or controlled, the Superintendent may employ such other means, provided s/he makes a written determination that such procedure is advantageous to the District. b. When making sales by competitive sealed bid, notice of the sale should be given at least ten (10) days before the date set for opening bids; notice shall be published in the local newspaper and posted in the District Office. Notices may also be mailed to prospective bidders. Where the possibility of need exists, notices in a suitable format (such as translated or verbal) will be made available to non-English proficient and/or non-reading prospective bidders. Bids shall be opened publicly. Award shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the request for sale bids to the highest responsive and responsible bidder, provided that the price offered by such bidder is acceptable to the Superintendent and/or Board. Where such price is not acceptable, the Superintendent and/or Board may determine the method of disposal of the item, provided it is in the best interest of the District. c. Proceeds from the sale of surplus property shall be retained by the District in all cases except where the Board makes an exception and allows sale proceeds to go to an individual school/department where circumstances exist which merit such exception. d. Auctions: Surplus property may be sold at auction. The solicitation to bidders should stipulate, at a minimum, all the terms and conditions of any sale. Registration will be required in order to participate in the bidding, and that the purchaser must remove within a stated time all surplus property purchased. e. Trade In: Surplus property may be traded in when the Superintendent determines the trade in value is expected to exceed the value estimated to be obtained through the sale of such property.
