INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH  LOUIS PADNOS IRON & METAL COMPANY FOR THE DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS) UNITS

RESOLUTION #06-317

WHEREAS, Ingham County has periodic need to dispose of surplus computer equipment; and

WHEREAS, Resolution #02-90 authorized the County to donate surplus computer equipment to the Black Child and Family Institute on Behalf of Closing the Gap; and

WHEREAS, computer equipment that is broken or outdated is sent to Great Lakes Electronic Recycling; and

WHEREAS, Closing the Gap no longer desires to receive surplus battery back-ups, known as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) units or other lead acid battery operated equipment, and Great Lakes Recycling charges $.35 per pound for a complete unit and $1 per pound for a loose acid battery to dispose of this equipment; and

WHEREAS, Louis Padnos Iron & Metal Company has offered to take Ingham County’s surplus UPS units free of charge to be disassembled and the internal elements recycled or resold; and

WHEREAS, this would significantly lower the cost of disposing of this useless equipment.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby enters into an agreement with Louis Padnos Iron & Metal Company for the disposal of surplus Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) units at no cost to the County and Resolution #02-90 is hereby rescinded.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson and County Clerk are hereby authorized to sign any necessary documents associated with this agreement after approval as to form by the County Attorney.
