PURPOSE: To exempt surveying services, incidental to preparing a lease agreement between
the County of Orange and Bob and Chris Nutter, from the requirements of N.C. General Statute
143, Article 3D.
BACKGROUND: Bob and Chris Nutter have expressed their willingness to lease three-four
acres of land on their farm to the county for ten years for a full size soccer field at an annual rate
of $1. In order to proceed with lease preparation, a boundary survey must be completed.
General Statute 143-3D allows counties to exempt themselves from a selection process for
surveyors on any project if the professional fee will be less than $30,000, or, in their discretion,
on any project by stating the reasons therefore. It is recommended that the County exempt this
project from the selection process. The cast of the survey is estimated to be less than $1,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the survey is included in the June 25 authorization to
proceed.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board exempt this project from
the requirements of NCGS 143, Article 3D as it respects the selection of surveyors.
