Necessary for District Operations
(This page was last updated March 30, 2008)
Note: The time schedule for the upcomming event is at the bottom of this page
Rusk ISD will conduct two one-day tax-free sales per calendar year to dispose of property no longer necessary for district operations. Rusk ISD is a qualified exempt organization; therefore, buyers should be aware that their purchases will be exempt from sales tax because the product is sold during a one-day tax-free sale. One sale will be held in the fall semester, and one sale will be held in the spring semester. Property items will be added to the disposal list as needed. Postings will normally be made on Mondays, and postings will only be made as needed. For additional information on property listed, contact Elvis Sessions, Rusk ISD Maintenance, at 903-683-2770 or email at elvis.sessions@ruskisd.net.
Rusk ISD will accept bids on property no longer necessary for district operations during a one-week bid period posted with the property listing. Bids will be tabulated as soon as possible following the bid period. All bids received will be tabulated. High bid will be accepted if deemed to be in the best interest and the best value for the District. If the high bid is not acceptable, negotiation will begin with the high bidder in an effort to arrive at an amount acceptable to the District. If the District is unable to agree on an amount with the high bidder, then discussions will terminate and the District will proceed to the next ranked bidder and repeat the process until an acceptable amount is agreed on or all bids are rejected. If all bids are rejected or no bids received, all offers received after the bid period but before the delivery period will be negotiated on a first-come basis in an effort to arrive at an amount acceptable to the District.
When appropriate, a pre-determined sales price will be noted on the property listing. Interested buyers will make a request to purchase these items at the sales price according to the procedures noted below. These items will be sold to buyers on a first-come basis.
The awarded buyers will be notified of their selection as soon as possible after the bid deadline date. Payment must be received by the payment due date posted with the property listing. If payment is not received by the payment due date, the next buyer will be notified that they have the option to purchase. Payment from these buyers must be received before the item can be picked up during the specified 24-hour delivery period. All buyers who have paid for their item(s) must take delivery during this period. All items must be delivered during this period for the District to comply with the Texas one-day tax-free sales requirements. Items will be available for pickup at the Rusk ISD Maintenance Shop, 275 Eagle Drive, Rusk, TX.
Unsold property will be properly disposed of. Rusk ISD reserves the right to reject any or all offers.
Please submit bids or purchase requests by mail to Rusk ISD, Attn: Elvis Sessions, 203 E. 7th St., Rusk, TX 75785, in person at the Rusk ISD Maintenance Shop, 275 Eagle Drive, Rusk, TX, by fax at 903-683-2770, or by email to elvis.sessions@ruskisd.net. Bids and purchase requests by phone will not be accepted. The bids do not have to be sealed, but will be kept confidential until after initial tabulation and negotiation. Please reference bid deadline date on outside of envelope, on fax coversheet, or in subject line of email and include preferred method of contact.
All items are sold on an “as is” basis.
