(c) (3) (4) or days the equipment is used for the move. Wages paid for the labor of persons who physically participate in the move. Labor costs are to be computed on the basis of actual hours worked at the hourly rate paid, but the hourly rate should not exceed that paid by commercial movers or contractors in the locality for each profession or craft involved. (d) If a business proposes to use working foreman or group leaders regularly employed by the business to super- vise services in connection with the move, the amount of their wages covering time spent in actual super- vision of the move may be included as a moving expense. Where it is estimated that the actual cost of the move would be $1,000 or less, the Spon- sor may make its own moving expense find- ing rather than obtaining bids or estimates from moving firms. The amount of such moving expense finding may be paid the owner of the business upon completion of the move when supported by evidence of actual expenses incurred, if the claim is for a rea- sonable amount. Upon completion of a self move, the owner of the displaced business shall certify in his claim for payment that the items listed were actually relocated. Those items that the owner elects not to relocate may be claimed under actual direct losses as described in subparagraph d below. If the items listed on the owner's inventory deviate to any signifi- cant extent from the list of items actually relocated, the amount previously agreed to will be revised accordingly. c. Low Value, High Bulk Property. When per- sonal property which is used in connection with the business to be moved is of low value and high bulk ( junk, stockpiled sand, gravel, minerals, metals, etc.) and the estimated cost of moving would be dis- proportionate in relation to the value, the Sponsor may negotiate with the owners for an amount not to exceed the difference between the cost of replace- ment of comparable item (s) on the market and the amount which would probably have been received for the item(s) on liquidation. 46 d. Actual Direct Losses of Tangible Personal Property. Payments for actual direct losses of tangible personal property are allowed when a per- son who is displaced from his place of business is en- titled to relocate such property in whole or in part but elects not to do so. Payments may only be made after a bona fide effort has been made by the owner to sell the item (s) involved. If the item (s) is sold, the payment should be determined in accordance with the guides described in subparagraph d (1) or d(2) below. If the item( s) cannot be sold, the owner may be compensated in accordance with subpara- graph d (3) below. The sale prices, if any, and the actual reasonable costs of advertising and conduct- ing the sale should be supported by a copy of the bills of sale or similar documents and by copies of any advertisement, offers to sell, auction records, and other data supporting the bona fide nature of the sale. (1) If the business is to be reestablished and an item of personal property which is used in connection with the business is not moved but promptly replaced with a comparable item at the new location, the reimbursement will be the lesser of: (a) The replacement cost minus the net proceeds of sale. (b) The estimated cost of moving the item. (2) If the business is being discontinued or the item is not to be replaced in the reestablished business, the payment will be the lesser of: (a) The difference between the depreci- ated value of the item in place and net proceeds of the sale. (b) The estimated cost of moving the item. If a bona fide sale is not effected in the man- ner described in subparagraph d (1) or (2) above because no offer is received for the property, the owner would normally be en- titled to the reasonable expenses of the sale. If the owner has the item(s) removed from the property, he would normally receive the estimated cost of moving the item. (4) When personal property is abandoned with no effort being made by the owner to dispose of such property by sale or by removal as specified in the above subparagraphs, the owner should not be entitled to moving ex- penses or losses for the items involved.
