Request approval to award contract for auction services to Global Auction Services and authorize County Administrator to execute the contract Mr. Parisot said there are two trailers which should be pulled off the auction list and transferred to the Sheriff. He also stated that he does not want the two custom built motorcycles on the auction list. Mr. Amunds said he can see pulling the two portable buildings (i.e., trailers as referred to by Mr. Parisot) off the auction list but feels the county could set a minimum bid on the motorcycles. Mr. Brannon stated they have been holding the motorcycles for some time and some action needs to be taken. Mr. Windes’ opinion was to cut our losses and run with it. Mr. Boyles said it is his understanding this is not a specific set of items to be auctioned but a master contract for auction services. Mr. Brannon reported staff attempted to secure quotes for these services and local companies were only interested if the motorcycles were included. He said Global Auction Services of Tallahassee was the only firm which could handle the sale of the motorcycles individually.
