§ 2.104.090. Personal property—Trade ins.

A.

County-owned personal property may be traded in when purchasing other property. If the board of county commissioners elects to trade in personal property and a bidding process is being used for the purchase of new property, it shall include in its call for bids on the property to be purchased, a notice that the county has for sale or trade, property of a specified type, description and quantity which will be sold or traded in on the same day and hour that the bids on the property to be purchased are opened. Any bidder may include in its offer to sell, an offer to accept the designated county property in trade by setting forth in the bid the amount of the allowance for such property. In determining the lowest and best bid, the board may consider the net cost to the county after trade in allowances have been deducted. The board may accept the bid of any bidder without trade in of the county property, but it may require bidders to purchase the used county property as a condition of awarding the purchase contract.

B.

If a bidding process is not used for the purchase of new property, the board may negotiate to trade in used property for new property upon such terms and conditions as are most advantageous to the county.
