Item Description
Solebury Township is offering open bidding on a 135 Ton platform scale located at the former site of New Hope Crushed Stone, located at 6970 Phillips Mill Road, New Hope PA. 18938
There are two scales present at the site, and each are listed separately. The scales are in the present condition and position when the quarry ceased operation in 2017. The scales are not currently certified however their prior certifications lapsed in 2018. Prior scale certification records can be obtained from Bucks County Weights and Measures Department if so desired.
The scales will be each identified as “Inside” and “Outside” Scale due to their proximity to the prior scale house.
Each scale is accompanied with the scale platform and all associated supports for the existing scale, the outside display, the inside head unit/display module, all associated wiring, and the adjacent steel catwalk adjacent to each scale.
The quarry property is secured and not accessible to the public and monitored by the Solebury Police Department. If potential bidders are interested in inspecting the scale prior to the end of the bidding process they may contact Corporal Aaron Soldavin, Solebury Police Truck Enforcement at asoldavin@soleburypd.org to schedule a time to inspect the scale.
The scale is being sold as non-operational but the scale outside display lights up, the inside display turns on and the scale does register when weight is applied to it although it is not accurate. We have been in contact with the manufacturer, Cardinal Scales from Webb City, MO, for technical support.
Each scale will need to be removed from its current location by the winning bidder. Appropriate lifting and hauling equipment will be necessary and be the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. Liability insurance will also need to be provided to the Solebury Township prior to removal. Access for equipment is unrestricted for height and width concerns. Limited assistance can be provided by Solebury Township Public Works Equipment if requested in advance and a proper operational plan is presented. Again, all concerns/requests shall be addressed to Corporal Aaron Soldavin asoldavin@soleburypd.org

Our Buyers Fees
With Municibid, pricing is clear, up-front and transparent. A buyer's fee (% of the winning bid amount) will be charged directly to the winning bidder upon the close of each auction via the credit card you entered prior to placing the bid. You pay the selling agency directly for the full cost of the item. (unless otherwise noted)
All Buyers fee's are aggregate unless otherwise noted. This means after you cross certain price thresholds you will pay a different buyers fee for the remaining amount. See below for an example.
Example:
If buyers fee is 8% for bids up to $99,999.99, 5% for bids $100,000 - $499,999.99, and 4% for bids over $500,000.
- Winning bid: $50,000: = Buyers fee: $4,000 (8% of $50,000).
- Winning bid: $150,000: = Buyers fee: $10,500 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + (5% of $50,000 = $2,500).
- Winning bid: $550,000: = Buyers fee: $30,000 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + 5% of $400,000 = $20,000) + (4% of $50,000 = $2,000).

The current buyers fee will always be shown on the page of the listing under the current price in both the bid area and auction details area. You will also see the buyers fee amount you will pay for your entered bid on the page where you confirm your bid.
