39. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES VECTOR PCR MACHINE TRADE-IN Pursuant to the Maricopa County Procurement Code, MC1-803, approve the trade-in of two PCR machines: #F1600335 and F1100993 with ThermoFisher /Life Technologies Corporation. This purchase and trade-in is being executed as a part of a regular replacement schedule with maximum value for the County. The trade-in credit of $13,600 per machine ($27,200 total) will be applied to the purchase of newer models. This trade-in credit is a significant discount for the County as similar PCR models are typically sold for half the price Environmental Services has been quoted. Were the Department to take the PCR machines to auction, Environmental Services would need to pay for professional decontamination of the machines and average auction price for similar machines is significantly less than what the department has been quoted for the trade-in. The overall benefit to the County for exchange of these items in this manner is projected to far exceed the expected auction value. (C-88-21-024-X-00)
