(2) The preliminary property disposition list shall be sent to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) and Montgomery and Prince George’s County advising them of WSSC’s intention to dispose of the properties and asking for any comments within 20 days after receipt of the list.
(3) The General Services Department shall forward the preliminary property disposition list to the General Manager within 15 days after receipt of comments from MNCPPC and Montgomery and Prince George’s County, with a cover memorandum highlighting any issues conveyed.
(4) Within 15 days after receipt, the General Manager shall approve or disapprove of each of the properties on the property disposition list and return it to the General Services Department, with a copy to the Commissioners.
(5) The approved properties will be known collectively as the property disposition list and considered eligible for disposition after approval by the General Manager.
(b)
(1) Within 15 days of receipt of the approved property disposition list, the General Services Department will submit the list to the Engineering and Environmental Services Division to ensure that the existing property description of each newly declared surplus property is complete and up to date.
(2) If not, a property description may be updated and forwarded to the General Services Department within 90 days.
(c)
(1) The General Services Department will work with the Engineering and Environmental Services Division and the Asset Management Office to:
(i) Identify all known site conditions for each property on the property disposition list; and
(ii) Determine whether each property should be offered “as-is” or as a site ready for development.
(2) If it is determined to be in the best interest of the Commission to address any known environmental, building, or other site conditions in order to make a property more marketable, the General Services Department will work with the appropriate internal teams to undertake the needed work.
(d)
(1) The General Services Department may obtain appraisals of properties on the property disposition list to determine the fair market value of each property.
