Special Exemptions: Contracts where the department and the CBI Program Manager agree that the department had no discretion to hire an MWSBE (e.g., emergency contracts or contracts for banking or insurance services) shall be Exempt Contracts. Appendix Section 35: Informal Contracts: Contracts that are estimated to be less than the following dollar thresholds prior to issuance of the city Solicitation Documents: § Construction Contracts: $500,000, and § Service Contracts and Commodities Contracts: $100,000. Part B: Construction and Commodities Contracts Part B: Section 2.1: When the city sets a Subcontracting Goal, each Bidder must either: (a) meet each Subcontracting Goal; or (b) comply with the Good Faith Negotiation and Good Faith Efforts requirements for each unmet Subcontracting Goal. Failure to comply constitutes grounds for rejection of the Bid. The city Solicitation Documents will contain certain forms that Bidders must complete to document having met these requirements. Part B: Section 2.3: No Goals When There Are No Subcontracting Opportunities. The city shall not establish Subcontracting Goals for Contracts where: a) there are no subcontracting opportunities identified for the Contract; or b) there are no SBEs, MBEs, or WBEs (as applicable) to perform scopes of work or provide products or services that the city regards as realistic opportunities for subcontracting.

Reference - Property Acquisitions and Condemnations § The city has negotiated in good faith to acquire the properties set forth below § For acquisitions, the property owner and staff have agreed on a price based on appraisals and/or estimates. § In the case of condemnations, the value was established by an independent, certified appraisal followed by a third-party appraisal review. § Real Estate staff diligently attempts to contact all property owners by: - Sending introductory letters via regular and certified mail, - Making several site visits, - Leaving door hangers and business cards, - Seeking information from neighbors, - Searching the internet, - Obtaining title abstracts, and - Leaving voice messages. § For most condemnation cases, city staff and the property owner(s) have been unable to reach a settlement. In some cases, condemnation is necessary to ensure a clear title to the property. § If the City Council approves the resolutions, the City Attorney’s office will initiate condemnation proceedings. As part of the condemnation process, real estate staff and the City Attorney’s Office will continue to negotiate, including court-mandated mediation, in an attempt to resolve the matter. Most condemnation cases are settled by the parties prior to going to court. § If a settlement cannot be reached, the case will proceed to a trial before a judge or jury to determine “just compensation.” § Full text of each resolution is on file with the City Clerk’s Office. § The definition of easement is a right created by grant, reservation, agreement, prescription, or necessary implication, which one has in the land of another, it is either for the benefit of land, such as right to cross A to get to B, or “in gross,” such as public utility easement. § The term “fee simple” is a synonym for ownership and is an estate under which the owner is entitled to unrestricted powers to dispose of the property, and which can be left by will or inherited.

Reference - Property Transaction Process Property Transaction Process Following City Council Approval for Condemnation The following overview is intended to provide further explanation for the process of property transactions that are approved by City Council for condemnation. Approximately six weeks of preparatory work is required before the condemnation lawsuit is filed. During this time, city staff continues to negotiate with the property owner in an effort to reach a mutual settlement. § If a settlement is reached, the condemnation process is stopped, and the property transaction proceeds to a real estate closing. § If a settlement cannot be reached, the condemnation lawsuit is filed. Even after filing, negotiations continue between the property owner and the city’s legal representative. Filing of the condemnation documents allows: - The city to gain access and title to the subject property so the capital project can proceed on schedule. - The city to deposit the appraised value of the property in an escrow account with the Clerk of Court. These funds may be withdrawn by the property owner immediately upon filing, and at any time thereafter, with the understanding that additional funds transfer may be required at the time of final settlement or at the conclusion of litigation. § If a condemnation lawsuit is filed, the final trial may not occur for 18 to 24 months; however, a vast majority of the cases settle prior to final trial. The city’s condemnation attorney remains actively engaged with the property owner to continue negotiations throughout litigation. - North Carolina law requires that all condemnation cases go through formal non-binding mediation, at which an independent certified mediator attempts to facilitate a successful settlement. For the minority of cases that do not settle, the property owner has the right to a trial by judge or jury in order to determine the amount of compensation the property owner will receive.
