Summary Explanation and Background:
The subject surplus parcel is a 1.5-acre parcel identified as Parcel I.D 24-35-25-00-758 and Tax I.D. 2407634, located at 472 Gray Rd, Cocoa. The parcel is located in Brevard County District 2.
In 2011, NRMD was in the process of constructing a flood relief project in the West Cocoa area with funding from the Department of Economic Opportunity and FEMA HMGP funding. The Engineer of Record saw an opportunity to improve the project and further reduce flooding by creating a new ditch for the runoff through parcel 24-35-25-00-758. In April of 2012, the County acquired the parcel which included a house on city water and septic system (the condition of the septic system is unknown). The ditch construction project required the main water service to the house to be severed. The County has no use for the house so after the project was completed, NRMD started the process of splitting the property and selling the parcel with the house.
A public auction was conducted and sealed bids were opened on July 21, 2021. The County received one bid from Aye Buy Used Cars Inc., W Jenkins, President in the amount of $91,650.00.
The Brevard County Property Appraiser’s Office values the parcel at $64,360. A separate, independent appraisal was conducted and valued the parcel at $87,000.00.
It is requested that the Board accept the high bid in the amount of $91,650.00, authorize the sale of this property, and authorize the Chair to execute all contracts and contract related documents upon review and approval from the County Attorney’s Office.
