BACKGROUND
Gaston County has designated Vehicle #871 (VIN# 1FVACWDK78HZ30618) to be in poor condition, uneconomical for continued use and, as having met the established surplus criteria. This vehicle was previously declared surplus and authorized for sale via Resolution 2016-178 adopted on June 28, 2016. Vehicle #871 is a 2008 Freightliner M2 Ambulance with approximately 303,000 miles and was assigned to GEMS. Hunter Huss High School has requested a surplus ambulance for use in their EMT program. This Board Action authorizes the County Manager to transfer Vehicle# 871 to Hunter Huss High School for $1 or, in the event the vehicle is not in acceptable condition at the time of transfer, to substitute another, similar surplus vehicle. Further, this transfer is conditioned upon the understanding that all expenses including, but not limited to, repairs, motor fuels and lubricants, tag, inspections and any other costs associated with purchase and ownership will be the sole responsibility of Hunter Huss High School. Gaston County Schools / Hunter Huss High School agrees to use the vehicle only for official agency use, the vehicle may not be sold or title transferred to another person or entity for a minimum of two years after purchase from Gaston County and, the vehicle is purchased in an “as is, where is” condition. Gaston County does not warrant in any way the condition or future operation/reliability of said vehicle. Approval of this Board Action authorizes the County Attorney to prepare a written agreement establishing the terms and conditions of the vehicle sale and authorizes the County Manager or his designee to execute said agreement and other documents as may be necessary for vehicle sale and title transfer to Gaston County Schools / Hunter Huss High School.
