Four public agencies to auction surplus vehicles and equipment at the end of September
Each year Lane County auctions vehicles because of age or mileage. Lane County Fleet Services will conduct a public, open-bid (with proxy bidding) auction from Thursday, September 26, to Saturday, September 28.
Vehicles may be previewed before the sale by visiting http://fleetauction.lanecounty.org. In-person viewing is available during the auction from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Lane County Fleet Services is located at 3040 North Delta Highway in Eugene.
Highlights from this year’s auction:
- 35 vehicles, including trucks, vans, buses and a hybrid car
- Caterpillar equipment, excavators, backhoe and a bucket truck
- Large generator
Proceeds go to a replacement fund that helps offset the cost to buy replacement vehicles.
Bids must be submitted online and will be received until 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. All bids start with a minimum set amount. No faxed, voice or paper bids will be accepted. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard or Discover) cashier's checks, money order or certified check made payable to Lane County Public Works. Personal checks for $50 or less are also accepted. Full payment is due within 48 of notification.
This is the twenty-fifth year Lane County Fleet Services and other municipalities have combined their auctions to reduce the cost of disposing of surplus equipment. This auction is in partnership with Lane County, Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), Lane Transit District, and others.
