CONSENT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET PURCHASING DIVISION DATE: April 29, 2019 TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THROUGH: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator Kristin Daniels, Director, Office of Management and Budget FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager SUBJECT: Approval of Sealed Bid Sale of 5836 26th Street — Bid 2019051 BACKGROUND: On August 14, 2018, the Board authorized the purchase of 5836 26th Street to acquire right-of-way necessary for planned widening of 26th Street. On November 20, 2018, the Board authorized the sale of the remainder of the parcel, including a single family residence. In accordance with F.S. 125.35, advertisements announcing the sale appeared on March 31, and April 7, 2019. Four sealed bids were received and publicly opened on April 24, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. in the amounts of $44,000, $45,000, $51,650 and $51,750. Funds in the amount of $175,000 were deducted from Traffic Impact Fees/District II/ROW 26th Street, 43rd Ave to 66th Ave account #10215241-066120-06011 to acquire the parcel, and proceeds from this sale will be returned to that account. The high bid was submitted by BB&D of VB, LLC, for which the Articles of Organization on Sunbiz.org lists Wesley Davis, the Indian River County Property Appraiser, as a member. Out of an abundance of caution, staff confirmed with the office of the County Attorney nothing exists in statutes to prevent a constitutional officer from participating in a sealed bid sale. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners ratify and accept the high bid of $51,750 submitted by the BB&D of VB, LLC. Staff further recommends the Board approve the attached Agreement to Purchase and Sell Real Estate and authorize the Chairman to execute the agreement. Finally, staff recommends the Board authorize the County Attorney's staff to prepare and execute any other necessary documents to complete the sale. ATTACHMENTS: Agreement to Purchase and Sell Real Estate 70
