Lane County Fleet Services is located at 3040 North Delta Highway in Eugene.

Highlights from this year's auction:

• 90 pieces of equipment, including cars, hybrids, trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans
• Caterpillar excavator, various heavy equipment, dump trucks and a bucket truck
• Large generator, various smaller equipment

Proceeds go to a replacement fund that helps offset the cost to buy replacement vehicles.

Bids must be submitted online and will be received until 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 27. All bids start with a minimum set amount. No faxed, voice or paper bids will be accepted. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard or Discover) cashier's checks, money order or certified check made payable to Lane County Public Works. Personal checks for $50 or less are also accepted. Full payment is due within 48 hours of notification.
