PIA Gym Equipment Bid
Petersburg Indian Association is liquidating its gym equipment. We will be using a sealed bid process to make the process as fair as possible. Each item will have a reserve that has to be met and on the closing date, the person who submits the highest bid in excess of the reserve will be contacted. Should the reserve not be met on a particular item, the item will be re-advertised for a set amount.
If interested in viewing the available equipment or would like to submit a bid, please stop by PIA and check-in at the front desk. The last day to submit a sealed bid will be July 31st at 4:00 pm.
The successful bidder is responsible for removing the equipment from PIA and transporting to its new location. Forms are available at the front office or below. Please turn forms in to Tina.
