In an April 30, 2026 memo, Chris Brock requests authorization to dispose of multiple surplus city assets, including a dump body and hoist, several older tractors and mowers needing major repairs, generators, a salt spreader, toolboxes, and a non-running lawn tractor. He proposes selling most items via the GovDeals online auction platform and separately notes two downtown Block 59 sheds, originally purchased in 2020 and improved with insulation, flooring, HVAC, and electric, with about 9400 invested in each unit. For the sheds, Brock suggests a sealed bid auction administered by staff rather than GovDeals, with council guidance needed on minimum bid amounts.While this is primarily a disposal action, it evidences an aging fleet and equipment inventory and reveals the city’s use of GovDeals as its standard surplus channel. Vendors can leverage this to discuss fleet renewal, replacement equipment, and auction logistics, or to position services around asset lifecycle planning and future equipment procurements that will replace the disposed units.

Two Block 59 sheds have roughly 9400 in city investment each; city may use sealed bids instead of GovDeals for these structures.
