C. Proposal for Structural Analysis In response to a request by Mr. Dan Eller, County Manager, we are pleased to sub- mit to you our proposal to conduct a structural study of the New Hanover County Court House. We propose that the study will be limited to the original structure constructed in 1892 and further, that the study will have the following specific objectives. 1 . To determine if the building is safe for its present use and occupancy. 2. To determine the possible effect on the existing building of future construction in the immediate vicinity such as pile driving. 3. To determine generally when the County might be required to make major structural repairs . We understand that there are no plans or details of the original construction, found- ation or structure available which might be used to determine the sizes or spacing of the structural components. Thus, in our opinion, it will be necessary that the floors, ceilings, and walls be exposed for examination and measurements in an estimated four different places each. In addition, the foundation of the building should be exposed at an estimated four locations for examination. Those areas which are opened up will have to be repaired upon completion of the examination and measurements. Our proposal is based upon all work involved in opening and repairing the inspection points being accomp- lished by the county. Our preliminary examination of the structure indicates that it may not be necessary to obtain borings to evaluate the sub-surface soil conditions. Our proposal considers that we will reserve this judgement until the latter phase of the study at which time we would decide whether borings are, in fact, necessary, If the borings are required, we estimate that four holes, each twenty-five feet deep, would be needed with Laboratory WILMINGTON, N C.

Our proposal is based upon this work being paid for directly by the County. We would, of course, assist in the negotiation for the service . We propose to furnish the professional services necessary, in consideration of the foregoing, to produce a written report accompanied by such drawings and sketches as may be required to depict the analysis and conclusions made in the study for a lump sum fee of two thousand five hundred ($2,500) dollars. Should you have questions regarding this proposal, we shall be pleased to discuss it in detail with you and your Board. We shall look forward to hearing from you. Very truly yours, Robert M.

Powell Tax Administrato SUBJ: Computer Contract At the County Commissioners' meeting of February 5, 1973, a one-year contract for computer service was awarded to National Data Processing, Inc. At that meeting it was decided that the contract issued in 1974 would be for three years. On December 6, 1973 I forwarded specifications for the required computer service to the following companies, and each have submitted their bids as reflected below for a three-year contract: Computerecords Inc. $ 60,600 Burlington Management Services Co. $ 59,460 National Data Processing, Inc. $ 59,755 Cole-Layer-Tremble Company $123,600 Mr. Eller, attached herewith to your copy of this memo are the pi^oposals submitted by each company. My recommendation would be to award the contract to Computerecords Inc. as they are a local company and are very convenient to the Tax Office. They have the required equipment to process the live-data appraisal work and have had the experience of working with other counties with the tax mapping system. I feel they are capable of processing the required services. Burlington Management Services Company's bid of $59,460 does not include travel costs and related expenses such as telephone expenses and shipping the data from this office to Greensboro. This additional cost could be quite expensive if they are required to send one of their employees to Wilmington to become familiar with our operation. National Data Processing Inc.'s bid of $59,755 requires monthly payments to begin in January 1974. However, our first work will not be processed until March or April, with the greatest volume ,.,..~ ~. of wor}c being in August. In my opinion, if we are to make advance payments, we should have a Performance Bond to assure that the work is completed. National Data Processing has stated if a Performance Bond is required, it would be at the County's expense. I checked with ~larold Wells ~ Son and they advised the premium on this type of bond would be approximately $1800 for three years. Cole-Layer-Trumble Company's bid is based on 59~ per real estate parcel for 1974, $1.00 per parcel for 1975 and 1976, and 50~ per parcel for the remaining 6 months in 1977. I estimated there will be approximately 40,000 parcels each of the three years. Request this item be placed on the agenda of the County Commissioners' meeting of January 7, 1974.

Marsh land. . ~ r 2 The income estimates used in this analysis were based on local prices obtainable for corn crops produced in the county since corn is the basic crop for New Hanover County. It was determined from local opinion, the County Agriculture Agent, and individuals with the State Property Tax Commission that typical corn yields were about 75 bu. n~~r acre, ranging to 90 or 100 bu./a.cre under optimum conditions. The average market price (over four year period) for corn was estimated to be $1.45 per bu. Next, a schedule of production levels was derived for the prevalent soil classes and management levels evident from soil maps and local management practices. The schedule is indicated thusly: Soil Class Av. Yield Gross Income Net Ratio Net Income From Product From Product I 75 bu. 1.45/bu. 400 $43.50 II 65 bu. 1.45Ibu. 25% 23.56 III 55 bu. 1.45/bu. 15~ 11.96 Thus dividing the total net income by the sale price (for open cultivated land only) one may estimate the proper rate for capitalization of farm income. Acreage Soil Class Income 3.3 ac. Class I land @ 43. 50/ac. = 143.55 29.7 ac. Class II land @ 23. 56/ac. = 699.73 33.0 843.28 Therefore: Income Remaining SP for land only 843.28 - 14,000 = 6.020 ~~.. .b.y' ~. .,. z . s ..... __. , ~, Based on the foregoing information, the supporting schedules were 3 developed as follows: Supporting Schedule #1 Soil Class ~~ ~f1 Production in bu/ac.(corn base) ~ 100 q5 90 Gross Income From Product 1.45 1.45 1.45 Ratio of Net to Gross Income ~ 40° 400 40~ Capitalized Net Income 58.00 55.10 52.20 at 6 Value _~ $970/ac. 920/ac. 8701ac. #2 85 80 70 1.45 1.45 1.45 1.45 °, 400 400 40° 49.30 46.40 43.70 40.60 820/ac. 770/ac. 720/ac. 670/ac. #3 60 1.45 1.45 250 25's 23.60 21.70 390/ac. 360/ac. #,~4 50 1.45 1.45 150 15~ 11.90 10.80 190/ac. 1801ac.
