LEE COUNTY
Invitation to Bid
Sale and Removal of Houses on County-
Owned Property
December 4, 2001
The Lee County Board of Commissioners was awarded approxi
mately $8,800,000 in federal funds to purchase 84 houses that were
damaged by the 1998 flood. So far, Lee County has purchased 47
(56%) of these houses and most of them have been rebuilt and are
in reasonably good condition. The county is in the process of pur
chasing the remaining houses when the property owners are ready
to sell them. Federal rules require the county to demolish or re
move the houses after they are purchased and return the property
back to natural open green space. In addition, the county must
own the real property in perpetuity and no other structure can
ever be built on the property . The Lee County Board of Commis
sioners is accepting sealed written bids for the sale of 8 of these
houses (not the real property). The successful highest bidder must
then move the houses off the property and relocate the houses
elsewhere and outside the 100 year flood plain.
Scope of work, general conditions, bid form, and information
about each house are available at the Lee County Clerk's Office,
104 Leslie Highway, Leesburg, Georgia 31763 Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., or by calling (229) 759-6000 or by
visiting the county's web site, www.lee.ga.us then clicking on the
Bids/RFP button.
If you choose to submit a written bid on one or more of the houses,
your sealed bid must be marked, "Sealed Bid - House Sale" and
delivered to the Lee County Clerk's Office at 104 Leslie Highway,
Leesburg, Georgia 31 763 no later than 2:00 p.m. on Friday, De
cember 28, 2001. All bids will be opened during a public bid open
ing on Friday, December 28, 2001 at 2:05 p.m. in the County Clerk's
Office. You are invited to attend this bid opening. No bids shall be
withdrawn for a period of 60 days after the bid opening.
Each bidder must include in their sealed bid, a bid bond, or an
irrevocable letter of credit, or a cashier's check in the amount of
$1,000 per house payable to the Lee County Board of Commission
ers from a company or bank authorized to do business in the state
of Georgia.
The successful bidder will have 90 days from the notice to proceed
to complete this project.
The Board of Commissioners reserves the right to accept or reject
any or all bids received and/or disregard informalities or irregulari
ties in the bids received. If additional information is needed re
garding this project, contact Ms. Christi Dockery of the Lee County
staff at (229) 759-6000.
