B. No surplus or obsolete supplies, materials or equipment of a value, at the time of sale, of more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) may be sold until the Council shall have declared them obsolete or surplus.
C. Before the City Manager sells any surplus or obsolete supplies, materials or equipment, except as otherwise provided in section 7-108 of this chapter, he shall advertise them for sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the City or give notice in such other manner as he deems necessary adequately to reach prospective buyers to give them opportunity to make bids. All bids shall be sealed and shall be opened in public at a designated time and place, except when the sale is by auction. The City Manager may repeatedly reject all bids and advertise or give notice again. He shall sell such supplies, materials or equipment to the highest responsible bidder for cash. In case of a tie, he may sell to either of the bidders tying, or may divide the sale among two (2) or more tying, always selling to the highest responsible bidder or bidders for cash.
