Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Department of Public Works, Fleet Management Division, is requesting authorization to accept a surplus bus from Sacramento Regional Transit. The City will then donate the surplus vehicle to Asian Resources, Inc. The bus will assist in transporting students and underserved youth to special events and field trips.
Policy Considerations: City Code Chapter 3.80.030 (F) provides that surplus personal property may be donated to any other public agency or charitable organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code by resolution of the City Council.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations: None
Sustainability: Not Applicable
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: The City of Sacramento received a request to accept a bus from Sacramento Regional Transit. The City will then donate the surplus bus to Asian Resources, Inc. (ARI). ARI is a non-profit corporation that serves and responds to the needs of low-income communities in Sacramento with limited English language skills. Regional Transit’s Procurement Ordinance limits its ability to donate the vehicle directly to ARI. The surplus bus, a 2009 Ford Starcraft - Vehicle 2908 - VIN 1FD4E45S18DB57279, will be used for field trips and special events.
Financial Considerations: The salvage value of the surplus bus to be donated to ARI, in its current condition, is less than $5,000, should the City sell the unit. This estimate has been provided by Sacramento Regional Transit.
