City council votes to put Humvee up for bid

Posted

The City of Fayette is selling its Humvee. The all-terrain military vehicle was acquired in 2012 by then City Marshal Jeff Oswald under a Department of Defense (DOD) program that decommissions military equipment for use by law enforcement. 

Current Marshal David Ford said the vehicle is not used often enough to justify the cost of maintenance. He was offered $15,000 from a private individual. The Board of Aldermen on July 25 voted unanimously to put the vehicle up for bids.

Any civilian who purchases the mid-90s Humvee will not be allowed to drive it on regular roadways, according to a DOD rule, and the purchaser must sign a waiver acknowledging the rule.

Interested parties should submit bids to City Hall.
