ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS SURPLUS VEHICLE – 2000 INTERNATIONAL 4900 DUMP TRUCK

The City of Big Rapids is selling a single surplus 2000 International 4900 dump truck on a sealed‑bid basis. The vehicle is sold “as‑is, where‑is” with no warranties; the buyer assumes all costs for title transfer, removal, transportation, and any needed repairs. Bidders must submit a sealed envelope by the deadline, and an inspection can be arranged by contacting the city. This is a one‑time asset purchase rather than a service contract. • Minimum acceptable bid is $1,000; lower offers will be rejected. • Vehicle condition includes an illuminated ABS warning light, minor oil seep, and typical rust; it runs but may need a jump‑start or battery. • Inspection is by appointment at the DPW garage (325 N. Dekrafft Ave., Big Rapids, MI) – contact Heather Bowman (231‑250‑9232). • Bids must be sealed, clearly marked, and delivered to Big Rapids City Hall by 2:45 p.m. on September 14, 2026. • Buyer assumes all post‑sale responsibilities (title, removal, transport, repairs).
