About 150 vehicles will be for sale. Surplus vehicle auctions provide the general public an opportunity to purchase quality vehicles at reduced prices, and enable the state to recoup a portion of its initial investment. Chevrolet Caprices 1996 Ford Crown Victoria Bidders need to pay with cash, cashier's check, or business or personal checks, provided they are accompanied by an irrevocable bank letter of credit. A deposit of at least 25 percent is required on the day of the sale. Bidders have until 3 p.m., Monday, Aug. 10, to pay the balance, and can pick up purchases until 4 p.m., Friday, Aug. 14.
Public auctions are the last step in the state's surplus program.
State agencies declare property as surplus because it is damaged or at the end of its life cycle for government use. The property is then made available to other state agencies, state colleges and universities, tax-supported agencies, municipal corporations, and other political subdivisions of the state, including public schools. Remaining property is sold at the public auctions. Money generated by the auction covers administrative costs for the program, and additional funds are returned to the property's original funding source. Under the leadership of Director Sandra A. Drabik, the Department of Administrative Services provides centralized services to state agencies.
