For space needs where the annual rental exceeds one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), Form PO‑26 provides the basic steps to follow in the leasing procedures required by G.S. 146‑25.1. Additional guidance is provided in this Rule:

(1) Specifications. The requesting agency prepares a Form PO‑27. This serves as a guideline for supplying the information which a prospective lessor needs to complete a lease proposal.

(2) Advertising. Newspaper ads will be prepared by the Division of State Property and will be forwarded to the agency for submission to a newspaper of general circulation in the "Legal Notices" or other appropriate section of the newspaper.

(4) Space Selection. All proposals will be reviewed by the Division of State Property and the requesting agency. A set of proposals will be selected, based on the General Statutes and the rules contained in this Chapter, for further review and consideration.

(a) The submittors of proposals selected for further review shall be notified in writing by the Division of State Property. The notice of selection for further review will include the date, time, and location at which a Proposers' Meeting will be conducted.

Price proposals may be submitted via the U.S. Mail, telegraph, telefax or other commonly acceptable medium of communication in lieu of the proposer or his agent being physically present at the meeting. In the event that identical price proposals are submitted by two or more proposers, the proposers or their agents present at the meeting will be granted another opportunity to submit a lower price proposal. This process will continue until a lowest price proposal is received by the Division of State Property. When the lowest price proposal is received no further price negotiations will be conducted by the Division of State Property.

(c) After reviewing all the relevant data, a determination for desired space will be made by the Division of State Property; this decision will be reviewed by the requesting agency. A Form PO‑1 must be submitted by the agency to the Division of State Property requesting acquisition of the space.

(d) The Division of State Property will present its recommended proposal to the Council of State for its review and consideration. If the low price proposal is not selected, a statement of justification will be submitted to the Council of State.

(e) Should the selected proposal be withdrawn or for any other reason not be available, all submitted proposals will be reconsidered and if none are acceptable, the Division of State Property will proceed to obtain suitable space in the manner provided by the General Statutes and the rules contained in this Chapter.

(f) Space selections will be made in keeping with G.S. 146‑23.1 regarding the acquisition of buildings and space in buildings having historic, architectural or cultural significance.

01 NCAC 06B .0303 BY DEED

By Deed

(1) A PO‑2, "Disposition of Real Property," must be sent to the Division of State Property.

(2) An estimate of value is determined as in Section .0900 of this Subchapter. This figure, plus expenses of the sale, will be the initial asking price for the property.

(3) Sale may be by bid or by negotiation. Properties may be sold without advertisement and bidding if negotiations with prospective purchaser are deemed in best interest of the state. Property is not normally sold for less than the estimate of value plus any expense incurred. In disposals of state‑owned residential facilities, residents may be allowed first refusal at the appraised value plus cost of appraisal before sale to the general public.

(4) If advertising is deemed appropriate, an advertisement is prepared and forwarded to local newspapers giving pertinent information for sale, minimum bid acceptable, and deadline for submitting bids. Usually, "For Sale" signs are posted on the property. Sale of land by bid is accomplished in accordance with 1 NCAC 6B .0304.

(5) Realtors may sell state‑owned property if deemed in the best interest of the state. The fee is negotiable but usually is one‑half the current rate. All offers, on behalf of the realtor's clients, are presented to the Division of State Property for consideration.

(6) An item is prepared in the Division of State Property for Council of State presentation once an offer to purchase or high bid is received. PO‑4, "Report on Findings of the Department of Administration," is prepared and submitted to the State Budget Officer for approval. Each file is documented with details of the disposition.

(7) After the Council of State meeting is held, notification of Council of State action is made to each department or individual involved. With approval of the Governor and Council of State, the transactions are forwarded to the Attorney General's Office with instructions for completion. All legal transactions in connection with a disposition are handled through the Attorney General's Office and all legal documents are prepared in that office. Copy of PO‑4 is signed by Secretary for Council of State and returned to Division of State Property for filing.

(8) After deed is delivered, all papers are returned from the Attorney General's Office to Division of State Property with check for the purchase price of the property. The check is sent to the controller, requesting deposit of percentage to the State Land Fund and deposit of net proceeds to the State Treasurer, unless otherwise governed by statute. A copy of the deed is forwarded to the affected agency.

(9) Land inventory data is prepared for computer record.

01 NCAC 06B .0304 PROCEDURE FOR SALE OF STATE LAND

The following procedure is used when surplus state‑owned property is offered for sale by bid:

(1) All state land will be advertised for sale unless waived by the Council of State. An advertisement is placed in a newspaper of general circulation, allowing 15 days for interested parties to bid. All bids must be forwarded to the Director, Division of State Property, Room 401 Administration Building, 116 West Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 and must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for no less than five percent of the bid, payable to the "State of North Carolina."

(2) After initial bids have been received, all interested parties will be notified of the high bid in order that they may have an opportunity to raise same. If not raised within 10 days, the Director of the Division of State Property will determine if the high bid should be accepted. All raises must be received within the 10 day period.

(3) The bid may be raised by an amount of not less than five percent of the circulated high bid. Such a bid, together with a certified or cashier's check of not less than five percent of the bid, should be forwarded to the Director of the Division of State Property. A raise of exactly five percent may result in duplicate bids, thus a bid in excess of five percent is safer. If the bid is raised, the matter will be held open an additional 10 days for further raises. This procedure will continue until there are no further raises.

(4) The Director of the Division of State Property reserves the right to reject any and all bids. In the case of identical bids, the director will determine which bid shall be recommended for acceptance. Any bid which is for less than the advertised minimum bid figure, not accompanied by a certified or cashier's check, or does not reach the Division of State Property by the prescribed time, will automatically be rejected.

(5) All sales of state lands are subject to the approval of the Council of State, which, at its sole discretion, may reject or accept any bids or offers.

(6) The State of North Carolina conveys land by deed without warranty or by quitclaim deed. A description of the property is available at the Division of State Property. All deeds, after approval by the Council of State, will be executed in the manner prescribed by Chapter 146 of the General Statutes of North Carolina.

(7) The State of North Carolina makes no representations or warranties concerning the title to the property, or the boundaries of the property, or the uses to which it may be put. Any prospective buyer is advised to make his own independent investigation of these matters.

(8) All properties are sold for cash upon delivery of the deed. Once a high bid has been accepted, the five percent deposit will be held as an earnest money deposit. If the bidder subsequently fails, refuses or is unable to close the transaction at time of delivery of the deed, the state may retain the earnest money deposit as liquidated damages.

(4) In some cases easements are granted without consideration if the easement does not damage the property. Damages are determined by the Director, Division of State Property, in accordance with Section .0900 of this Subchapter.

(5) If price is acceptable to applicant, Division of State Property may recommend disposition to Council of State.

(6) An item is prepared in Division of State Property for Council of State presentation. In preparation, PO‑4, "Report on Findings of the Department of Administration," is prepared and submitted for State Budget Officer's approval.
