Background
49 U.S.C. Section 5334(h) provides
guidance on the transfer of assets no
longer needed. Specifically, if a
recipient of FTA assistance decides an
asset acquired at least in part with
federal assistance is no longer needed
for the purpose for which it was
acquired, the Secretary of
Transportation may authorize the
recipient to transfer the asset to a local
governmental authority to be used for a
public purpose with no further
obligation to the Government. 49 U.S.C.
Section 5334(h)(l).
Determinations
The Secretary may authorize a
transfer for a public purpose other than
public transportation only if the
Secretary decides:
(A) The asset will remain in public
use for at least 5 years after the date the
asset is transferred;
(B) There is no purpose eligible for
assistance under this chapter for which
the asset should be used;
(C) The overall benefit of allowing the
transfer is greater than the interest of the
Government in liquidation and return of
the financial interest of the Government
in the asset, after considering fair
market value and other factors; and
(D) Through an appropriate screening
or survey process, that there is no
interest in acquiring the asset for
Government use if the asset is a facility
or land.
Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or
Facility
This document implements the
requirements of 49 U.S.C. Section
5334(h)(l)(D). Accordingly, FTA hereby
provides notice of the availability of the
land or facility further described below.
Any Federal agency interested in
acquiring the affected facility should
promptly notify the FTA.
If no Federal agency is interested in
acquiring the existing facility, FTA will
make certain that the other requirements
specified in 49 U.S.C. Section
5334(h)(1)(A) through (C) are met before
permitting the asset to be transferred.
The 9,564 square foot facility is
situated on a rectangular, 286,595
(approximate) square foot city-owned
PO 00000
Frm 00149
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
parcel situated between several other
city-owned buildings. The land will be
retained by the City of Holland. The
facility is an industrial-type facility that
includes a front office and/or
administration section as well as a large,
attached, multi-purpose shop/
warehouse in the back. The land on
which this building sits is
approximately 6.5 acres with
dimensions of 250 feet on its north side
and 1,237 feet on its east side. Given
that the building is located on cityowned land with no federal interest,
and is surrounded by city-owned
property without public street access,
the building would need to be relocated.
The rear building section has exterior
dimensions of 80 feet wide by 100 feet
long by 18 feet in height. It is
approximately 8,000 square feet in area.
This space is generally open in layout
but includes a block partitioned storage
area of approximately 750 square feet.
This rear building section has a concrete
slab floor, masonry block exterior walls,
flat metal truss roof and three large
metal vehicular size doors.
The building improvements in the
office area consist of concrete
foundations, basic concrete slab floors,
masonry side walls, sloped metal roof
with gutters and downspouts, and
various entry doors and windows. This
front office section has package heating
and cooling, a ceiling height of ten feet,
and is 1,564 square feet in area. The
interior includes three offices, various
work areas, a utility room, a break area,
two lavatories, and various small
closets/storage rooms.
Other miscellaneous site
improvements include several
sidewalks and asphalt surfaced parking
and vehicle maneuvering areas. The
general condition of the building
appears fair in overall condition from an
architectural and structural standpoint
and is approximately 27 years old with
a 50 year depreciation. The legal
property description is as follows: E 7.5
A OF SE 1⁄4 OF NW 1⁄4 EXC S 233 FT
OF W. 100 FT, ALSO EXC N. 33 FT &
S 33 FT. SEC 33 T5N R15W 6.7A M/L.
