BACKGROUND

Since 1971, the acquisition of land for a variety of government programs and projects has been subject to the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (the Uniform Act). The Uniform Act provides for fair and equitable treatment of persons whose property will be acquired or who will be displaced because of programs or projects financed with Federal funds. Congress amended and updated the Uniform Act in 1987.

All Federal, State and local public agencies (and others receiving Federal financial assistance for public programs and projects requiring acquisition of real property) must comply with the policies and provisions set forth in the Uniform Act and its amendments.

The controlling Federal authority for Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition for Federal and Federally assisted programs is Section 213, Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, Public Law 91-646, 84. Stat.

1894 (42 U.S.C. 4601) as amended by the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, Title IV of Public Law 100-17, 101 Stat. 246-256 (42 U.S.C. 4601 note).

To support current National Park Service (NPS) and Department of the Interior (DOI) goals to comply with the Uniform Act, relocation and moving costs should be calculated prior to or during land purchases and transactions. To facilitate this process we seek assistance with relocation and moving cost estimates and services. The relocation assessment and services will include an analysis of the residential property and moving costs for the landowner of the property. The goal of the relocation/site assessment is to identify the estimates and costs for replacement housing and/or moving costs and to help conduct and complete the relocation segments of the land transaction. Relocation services and estimates should be conducted by a learned professional who is familiar with the Relocation Act and all processes and procedures for relocation.

All relocation services will be performed according to regulations and laws as stated in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (the Act), and as adopted by Massachusetts State law, unless otherwise directed by the client.
