16. Purchasing: Authorization to dispose of surplus items at
auction through Global Enterprises
Mrs. Zan Fedorak, Purchasing Manager, stated the Facilities
Maintenance Department is trying to expedite removal of all
furniture and other items which remain in the Shalimar Annex to
allow for demolition of the building. She stated departments
have been allowed to go through the building to get any usable
items. Mrs. Fedorak advised that she has a listing of
additional surplus items she would like to add for the auction.
she also noted there may be such items as doors, door frames,
windows, etc. which may be salvaged from the Annex and put out
for auction. Mrs. Fedorak reported the online auction services
provided by our contract auctioneer Global Enterprises have
generated more than double the revenue over the county’s onsite
auctions. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Boyles, to
approve this agenda item and the additional lists of surplus
items. Mrs. Fedorak stated she has supplied the Clerk with the
lists. 5 yeas.
26. Airports: Authorization to re-advertise for vehicle lease
quotes
Mr. Boyles stated he realizes Airports Director Sunil Harman has
inherited “all of this baggage” but he noticed the language of
the lease agreement from two years ago stated the leased
vehicles would have the county logo on them. He said either
that was not done or the decals/logos did not stay on. He
remarked that has bugged him because having the logos on the
vehicles is a constant reminder for the employees driving them
to be more attentive to their driving. Mr. Boyles noted there
is no analysis to say that leasing the vehicles is fiscally the
right thing to do. He said he understands we now may be under a
time constraint and wondered if the lease could be extended.
Mr. Harman acknowledged the constraint, saying the vehicles must
be returned by June. He said the purchasing process will take
120 days and his primary concern is operational impact.
Mr. Amunds asked if this item can be tabled until the next
meeting. Mr. Harman responded by saying an analysis can be
prepared in that timeframe. He stated he does not see any
advantage of purchaSing vehicles, adding that he does not have
$300,000 in the budget to purchase them. Upon further inquiry
by Mr. Amunds regarding decals, Mr. Harman stated they can affix
the magnetic decals. Mr. Parisot suggested decals be placed on
February 18, 2014 -12- Minute Book 70, Page 250
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
the windows. He said the magnetic decals could easily be
removed. Mr. Boyles stated he is not suggesting anyone from the
Airports Department has done anything they should not have with
a vehicle. Mr. Harman reiterated his concerns on the timeline
and operations constraints. He said the decals to be affixed
would be specific to the Airports and the vehicles would also
have “lights” and could be used as extra police vehicles.
Mr. Amunds stated the leasing of the vehicles was done on a
trial basis. He asked Mr. Harman if this is his recommendation
as the director of the department. Mr. Harman replied, “Yes,
commissioner. It works well.”
Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve the
department director’s request to solicit proposals to lease
vehicles for the Airports Department with the stipulation the
decal is placed on the vehicles. Mr. Boyles stated he wants a
decal that is comparable to the county logo on other county
vehicles. Mr. Harris said he cannot recommend magnetic ones
because that do blow off and told Mr. Harman he would have to
come up with something. 5 yeas. Mr. Boyles said the Board may
want to consider leasing for the entire fleet of county
vehicles.
29. Public Works: Task Order No. 1 with SCS Engineering for
2014 semiannual sampling and reporting of Baker Landfill at
a not-to-exceed cost of $96,500
Mr. Hofstad stated there is a discrepancy between the agenda
request and the actual task order document with regard to the
not-to-exceed cost. The agenda request lists a cost of $99,300
and the Task Order reflects a cost of $96,500. He stated the
correct not-to-exceed cost is $96,500 for Task Order #1. Mr.
Boyles made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve Task
Order #1 with SCS Engineering and to clarify the correct cost is
$96,500. 5 yeas.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT - REQUST TO PURCHASE 19 CUTAWAY BUSES
Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, requested
approval to purchase 19 cutaway buses from Transit Plus Inc.
using Florida State Contract #TRIPS-11-CA-TP at a total cost of
$1,448,160. The purchase will be made with existing Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) grant funds with no local funds
required. Mr. Kampert stated Fleet Operations has confirmed the
buses need to be replaced. Upon inquiry by Mr. Amunds, Mr.
February 18, 2014 -13- Minute Book 70, Page 25]
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Kampert stated the current vehicles are four years old and have
100,000 miles on them which is the FTA established life criteria
for cutaway buses per FTA Circular 5010.1D.
Mr. Harris expressed his concerns, saying we are starting to
delete routes and are now talking about buying new vehicles. He
referred to the statement that no local funds will be used and
disagreed, saying federal tax dollars are used for the grants.
Mr. Kampert stated that if the routes are deleted, the vehicles
will be made available for other FTA transit providers. He
stressed the importance of purchasing the new buses because the
program is “hemorrhaging” money in maintenance costs, adding it
is also a safety issue. Mr. Amunds remarked vehicles with more
than 150,000 miles on
