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 31 763 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 31763 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withdrawn for a period of 60 days after the bid opening.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.

ATTENTION
LEE COUNTY
CITIZENS
The gate across the road that used to go
to Burke’s Ferry has been removed by
temporary restraining order. This road
has been abandoned by the county for
almost 40 years. This is known by the
people who live in the area.
Anyone that is concerned about the
treatment of Lee County citizens and
taxpayers in this situation should contact
their commissioner and voice their opin
ion. What is happening to the landowner
in this situation can and may happen to
you!!!
Wake up Lee County and know the truth.
Paid for by Lee County citizens who
know that this has not been handled
fairly by our local government.
NFIB Seeks
$223 Million
In Rate
Reductions
Small-Business Advocacy
Group Endorses PSC Adver
sary Staff Recommendation
for $412 Million in Rate
Reductions for Georgia Power
Customers
NFIB, Georgia’s largest
small-business advocacy
group, is continuing its pursuit
of its $223 million rate
reduction request for small-
business customers in the
Georgia Power Company
electric rate case. The organi
zation recently presented its
case on behalf of Georgia
small businesses in hearings
before the Public Service
Commission to establish rates
that correct disparities among
GPC ratepayers.
NFIB endorses the PSC
adversary staff’s recommenda
tion of $412 million in total
rate cuts including NFIB’s
$223 million rate reduction
request for small-business
customers. Under NFIB’s
proposal, residential custom
ers would receive $142
million in reduced rates and
large business customers
would receive $41 million.
“We are trying to correct a
decades-old disparity against
the small-business customer.
Power rates are still too high
and GPC makes more profit
on small business customers
than on other customers.
Small businesses are no closer
to parity with other ratepayers
than they were ten years ago,’’
said Bert Fridlin, Georgia
State Director for NFIB. “We
are very encouraged by the
PSC adversary staff’s recom
mendation detailing $412
million in rate savings for
GPC customers both residen
tial and business. The staff’s
recommendation validates our
argument that GPC can ensure
reliable energy, while reducing
rates for its customers.’’
“The PSC staff has shown
that GPC does not need as
much revenue as it has
claimed and that customers
deserve rate relief of $412
million,” Fridlin said.
NFIB also requested the PSC
to order GPC to establish a
new model to prepare and file
cost-of-service studies by
customer rate schedules rather
than by customer classes in
future rate cases to provide
more accurate information on
GPC expenses, revenues and
profits that the PSC can use to
more accurately determine
customer rates. “The PSC
should adopt this request in
order to track the future
movement toward parity
among the rates that custom
ers pay and to ensure just and
equitable rates for all custom
ers,” Fridlin added.
Final recommendations by
parties in the case were filed
on Dec. 5 and a final decision
by the PSC is due on Dec. 20.
“PSC commissioners have the
opportunity to do the right
thing on behalf of their
customers by adopting the
$412 million rate cut the staff
recommends. All customers
will be winners,” Fridlin said.
