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 No bids shall be withdrawn for a period of 60 days after the bid opening.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.
