WILMINGTON, MA — At Monday’s Wilmington Board of Selectmen Meeting, Wilmington Town Manager Jeff Hull announced the town is holding a sale of surplus vehicles and equipment.
“Typically every year, or every couple of years, we put vehicles we no longer have a use for out to bid,” explained Hull.
“This year, there’s a listing of 15 different vehicles and pieces of equipment,” noted Hull. “Individuals can submit bids on these vehicles. The bid deadline is November 17 at 10am. The bids will be publicly opening and the awards will be made to the individuals or entities that offer the highest bid and otherwise qualify.”
The invitation to bid can be read below. The invitation and bid sheet can also be found on the town’s website HERE.
