The purpose of the amendment is to respond to questions for solicitation 140D0425Q0227 and to extend the response due date to 3:00 PM EST on February 12, 2025.

Question 1: Please elaborate on the following from page 13 of the RFP: potential for beneficial control over ownership interests in other contiguous and non-contiguous lands proximate to the subject in 2,749.15 +/- acres.

Answer: Beneficial control among related ownerships appears to be inconsequential given the

Articles of Incorporation (provided on award) detail ownership that is not identical across each of the three entities. Ownership of related / proximate lands as it relates to Larger

Parcel (LP) considerations under UASFLA is ultimately a part of the scope of this

140D0425Q0227/0001 assignment, and LP determination by the appraiser will be a requisite component of the analysis.

Question 2: Please confirm that UOC(41) only includes 161.97 acres, as the legal description provided also describes a much larger(480.941 acres) parcel?

Answer: Similar to the above, the consideration of UOC(41) being a portion of a larger parcel

(and potentially greater ownership) is part of the scope of this assignment. Analysis of information gathered by the appraiser from various sources and during inspection, as well as information reported by the owner(s) interviewed, will be critically important in determining

Larger Parcel and any related implications (e.g.

whether Before/After analysis will be necessary, etc).

Question 3: If effective overland access to these properties is not possible by standard/2-wheel drive vehicle, can Wildlife Refuge agents provide assistance(e.g. 4-wheeler) and accompany the appraisers?

Answer: FWS Realty has reached out to the Refuge to ascertain the extent of assistance; however, assistance by Refuge management is typically dependent on staff availability and not necessarily guaranteed.

Question 4: Given that all owners have reportedly provided a right of entry, can we assume all inspections can be accomplished on the same day?

Answer: This will be a question of the owners (or their representatives) availability.

Question 5: This is a project that will take a longer than typical time to process as there are

3 tracts to appraise and each tract will need a timber cruise. Due to the size of the project, travel costs, and costs for the forestry component, will DOI permit a periodic payment schedule for this assignment?

Answer: The need / justification for a timber cruise would be a subsequent consideration

(generally following inspection of the subject

The owner has indicated a potential for merchantable timber on the subject property.

However, no timber cruise, stocking/harvest information, or harvesting permits have been provided by FWS and/or the landowner for the identified tracts. Please notify the AVSO Review

Appraiser if you determine a timber cruise is necessary to achieve credible assignment results

(note: this notification generally occurs subsequent to inspecting the subject property and often after completing preliminary highest and best use analysis and identifying potential comparable sales).

Please note that justification supporting your determination that a timber cruise is necessary to achieve credible assignment results must be provided to the AVSO Review Appraiser. Assuming adequate support exists, the AVSO Review

Appraiser will contact FWS to coordinate for a timber cruise to be completed. This may result in the purchase award with the contracted Appraiser needing to be adjusted to accommodate the procurement of the timber cruise and the period of performance may need to be adjusted to accommodate completion of the cruise and appraisal assignment.

A periodic payment schedule can be structured for this requirement that would be 25% on delivery of the first report, 25% on delivery of the second report, and 50% on the final approval of the last report.

The response due date has been extended to 3:00

PM EST on February 12, 2025.
