A. Any surplus road machinery and equipment in excess of the needs of the Department of Transportation which was purchased pursuant to the provisions of this act shall be offered for sale to all counties before it is disposed of. Whether sold to a county or sold as otherwise provided by law, the proceeds derived from selling surplus road machinery and equipment shall be deposited with the State Treasurer to be credited to the County Road Machinery and Equipment Revolving Fund.
B. Whenever any county owns road machinery and equipment which it deems as surplus it may request the Department of Transportation to dispose of said equipment. If so requested, the Department in turn shall issue notice to all counties of county-owned surplus road machinery or equipment available at fair market value. If no other county offers to purchase said machinery or equipment the Department may, at the request of the county owning the road machinery or equipment, sell said machinery or equipment as otherwise provided by law and return the proceeds to the county to whom the machinery or equipment belonged.
C. If a county disposes of its surplus road machinery and equipment, it shall do so pursuant to Sections 421 et seq. of Title 19 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
