Description
The City of Mobile is conducting a municipal auction of two lots of used firearms (court‑condemned and city‑owned). Bidders must hold a Federal Firearms License (Type 01 or 02), submit a 5 % bid bond, and provide proof of E‑Verify enrollment. The winning bidder pays the cash amount via wire transfer and assumes all responsibilities for packaging, transport, insurance, and security; the City supplies no shipping or handling. Inspection is limited to a single viewing day (Nov 13, 2024) with two‑hour blocks, and only the FFL holder may inspect. The auction is “all‑or‑none” and subject to local vendor‑preference, EEO, Davis‑Bacon, and disadvantaged‑person clauses if the contract exceeds $50,000. No award has been made yet, and the bid opening has been postponed to November 22, 2024.
