SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Disposal of Portables that are Beyond Economical Repair (BER) (Business Division)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

School Board Policy provides authority to the Board to sell, transfer or dispose of any real or tangible property which is declared by the Board to be unnecessary or unsuitable for district purposes. Due to the need for extensive repairs, the cost of moving and setting up, or that the portable no longer meets the standards for student occupancy, the attached list of portables has been declared BER by the Relocatable Facilities Department. Portables that have structural or environmental concerns will be demolished. The remaining portables will be made available as surplus and sold at auction. If no bid is received, the portable will be demolished.

ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)

FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)

The demolition cost of a portable ranges from $1,800 to $2,000, depending on the quantity to be demolished at the location. The cost of demolition is paid from the Maintenance Portable Budget. Any entity that accepts a surplus portable will be responsible for all moving and associated costs. The monies received for any portable sold at auction will be deposited into the General Fund. The Fixed Asset File will be reduced by a net book value of $1,211,373.65.
