Cathy
Baker of District 2 came up with the idea of posting excess
equipment and inventory that was no
longer needed by those utilizing it before, but still in
working condition, so others in the NMDOT who couldn’t
utilize the good before because they did not have the budget
can now make use of the good. Every District could post all
of their excess inventory on the InTrans website and other
employees can search the listings and acquire what they need
in their work area.
Many
Districts upgrade or replace office furniture, office equipment,
and other items that are still in usable condition
and either auction off the excess goods or dispose of them.
By utilizing the Fixed Assets Program others in the NMDOT
can obtain much needed equipment that couldn’t be obtained
because of budget issues, and would also save the other District,
which had the equipment before, paperwork.
This program can save money for not only those departments
who adopt the equipment from another department, but the
NMDOT as a whole.
