Resolution Directing the Chief Procurement Officer to Dispose of Certain Electronic Equipment via Donation to a Qualifying Charitable Corporation

Purpose

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:

Virginia Code § 2.2-4343(A)(10) authorizes localities to adopt alternative procurement procedures by ordinance. Hampton City Code § 2-338 enables City Council to direct the Chief Procurement Officer to dispose of surplus personal property in a specified manner. The City owns surplus computers and related equipment which are obsolete or unusable, and have little value in the current market. PCs for People is a Minnesota nonstock corporation and 501(c)(3) which refurbishes computers and related electronic equipment for distribution to low-income families from its regional office located at 1933 E. Pembroke Avenue, Hampton, Virginia. The donation of the surplus personal property to the nonstock corporation is permitted pursuant to the Virginia Code and Hampton City Code sections noted above.

Impact:

No fiscal impact, the surplus equipment is obsolete and unusable, and has little value in the current market.

Recommendation:

Rec

Approve the Resolution.
