| BACKGROUND: |
The County Community Corrections Department had several corrections divisions and related functions located at the county office building (COB) at 2251 North Palafox Street, including Electronic Monitoring, Probation Pre-Trial, Check Division, Jail and Corrections Accounting, and Corrections Administrative Staff. The building facility was severely damaged by the April 2014 rain and flooding event, and these corrections functions are now being housed at various county buildings. The COB was evaluated to determine the extent of damage, costs to repair and how much insurance reimbursement the county will receive.
Given the history of flooding at this facility, the Corrections Department would like to relocate their functions, and have identified the property at 6400 North "W" Street as being suitable for their needs. The property consists of three contiguous parcels (approximately 3.44 acres), which includes a one-story office building (approximately 12,360 square feet).
Meeting in regular session on July 24, 2014, the Board authorized staff to obtain appraisals, environmental site assessments, surveys, title insurance commitments and complete all other requirements in Section 46-139, Escambia County Code of Ordinances in anticipation of purchasing the property at 6400 North "W" Street. This property was one of fifteen properties reviewed by Corrections and Facilities staff.
Staff had two appraisals performed. One, by Brantley & Associates, dated August 7, 2014, placed a value of $2,300,000 on the property. The second appraisal was performed by Presley-McKenny & Associates, dated August 26, 2014, and placed a value of $1,888,000 on the property. The average of the two appraisals is $2,090,000, and the owners is agreeable to this amount.
Therefore staff is requesting the the Board to consider granting approval to purchase the three contiguous parcels of real property (approximately 3.44 acres) with a one-story office building (approximately 12,360 square feet) located at 6400 North "W" Street for $2,090,000, the average appraised price and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Contract for Sale and Purchase. |
