About this file
The document is a Disposition Pricing Table for surplus materials, associated with Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) in Florida, outlining minimum acceptable resale values for various types of equipment and materials. The table provides a comprehensive pricing guide for disposing of surplus items, ranging from surveying and office equipment to tools, building supplies, and specialized laboratory equipment, with the goal of recouping value from decommissioned assets.
The pricing matrix establishes minimum per-pound values across different item categories, with prices ranging from $0.05 to $2.00, depending on the type and condition of the item. The document notes that the current scrap steel rate (as of June 2025) is approximately $0.08–$0.10 per pound, and emphasizes that disposal prices should never fall below the scrap steel value. The pricing strategy allows for flexibility based on item condition, with precision instruments and specialized equipment commanding higher rates, while common office furniture and basic building supplies have lower per-pound values. The overall approach aims to maximize return on surplus materials while ensuring efficient disposal.
