RFQ 140D0424Q0846

Conservations Fund Tract 671

Latitude / Longitude 26.533007° / -99.122541°

Property Rights Appraised: Fee simple subject to outstanding rights and/or reservations

Outstanding Rights and/or Reservations:

Any recorded or unrecorded documents, conditions, agreements, easements and/or encumbrances discovered must be identified and discussed in the appraisal report in relation to their impact on value.

The property reportedly has legal and physical access. The appraiser must verify the subject’s access as part of the appraisal process.

Water Rights: Owned water rights, if any, are to be included in the appraisal.

Minerals: Owned mineral rights, if any, are to be included in the appraisal.

Real Property Improvements: Unknown

Personal Property: Personal property must be disregarded for purposes of the appraisal.

SECTION 3: APPRAISAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

Client: AVSO

Intended Users: AVSO and FWS, on behalf of the United States of America

Intended Use:

The appraisal report will be used to assist the FWS in its determination of the amount to be paid as just compensation for the property rights acquired. The appraisal report is not intended for any other use. (UASFLA 1.2.3, pg. 10)

Type of Value: Market Value

Definition of Market Value:

The Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA) defines market value as follows:

Market value is the amount in cash, or on terms reasonably equivalent to cash, for which in all probability the property would have sold on the effective date of value, after a reasonable exposure time on the open competitive market, from a willing and reasonably knowledgeable seller to a willing and reasonably knowledgeable buyer, with neither acting under any compulsion to buy or sell, giving due consideration to all available economic uses of the property.

Source: Interagency Land Acquisition Conference, UASFLA, 6th ed., Section 1.2.4, p 10, The Appraisal Foundation, 2017.

Effective Date:

The effective date must be no later than 30 calendar days prior to the submission of the completed appraisal report, unless the AVSO review appraiser approves in advance other conditions in writing.

SECTION 4: ASSIGNMENT CONDITIONS

RFQ 140D0424Q0846

Conservations Fund Tract 671

Applicable Standards / Law Regulation and Policy:

The standards applicable to this appraisal assignment include:

• Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA), 6th Edition, and the

• Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), 2024 edition.

The appraisal must conform to the following laws, regulations, and policies:

• Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91-646) as amended.

Federal Regulations 49 CFR, Part 24

Extraordinary Assumptions:

None. If the appraiser determines that extraordinary assumptions are necessary, the appraiser must contact the AVSO review appraiser for prior written approval.

Hypothetical Conditions:

None. If the appraiser determines that hypothetical conditions are necessary, the appraiser must contact the AVSO review appraiser for prior written approval.

Jurisdictional Exceptions:

The appraiser has been instructed to produce a UASFLA compliant appraisal. Section 1.2.4 of UASFLA states that “appraisers should not link opinions of value under these Standards to a specific opinion of exposure time.” USPAP requires the appraiser to develop and report a reasonable exposure time if it is a component of the definition of market value, which contravenes the UASFLA. Therefore, the appraiser should invoke USPAP’s Jurisdictional Exception Rule.

Pre-Work Meeting:

The appraiser will be required to attend a pre-work meeting. A meeting with the appraiser will be conducted prior to the inspection of the property. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the Statement of Work. The meeting may occur at the property at the time of the inspection or by teleconference. If by teleconference, the AVSO review appraiser will coordinate the date and time with the appraiser.

Property Inspection

The appraiser must inspect the subject property and all comparable market data used in the appraisal, unless the AVSO review appraiser has approved other conditions in writing. The inspection of the subject property will be coordinated with the FWS realty staff. The appraiser must notify, in advance, both the FWS and AVSO review appraiser when the subject property inspection will occur so they have adequate time to make travel arrangements.

Highest & Best Use / Larger Parcel Analyses:

Upon completion of the Highest and Best Use and Larger Parcel analyses, the contract appraiser must discuss the conclusions with the review appraiser.

RFQ 140D0424Q0846

Conservations Fund Tract 671

Controversies / Issues The subject was purchased in 2022 by the current owner. In accordance with UASFLA, the prior sale will require an extraordinary verification process.

SECTION 5: APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. If applicable, strict compliance with UASFLA Sections 1.5.2.1, 1.5.2.4, and Appendix E is required.

2. The AVSO Statement of Work, engagement letter, and other assignment instructions must be included in the addenda to the appraisal report. Reference to these documents should be provided in the body of the report.

3. Unsigned and draft reports will not be accepted.

4. The appraisal report should conform to the sequence and content described in Section 2 of the

UASFLA.

5. If including any proprietary information in the appraisal, the appraiser must gain concurrence from the AVSO review appraiser and deliver the proprietary information in a separate binder.

6. When the appraiser has performed any services regarding the subject property within the prior three years, he/she must disclose this to the AVSO review appraiser prior to engagement.

7. AVSO is the appraiser's sole client. The appraiser may not communicate assignment results to any party except AVSO, unless authorized to do so in writing by AVSO.

8. If the appraiser discovers material facts which differ from those provided by AVSO or encounters circumstances which prevent the appraiser from developing an unbiased appraisal, the appraiser must contact the AVSO review appraiser for instructions.

9. Any communication with the bureau realty contact or property owner shall include the assigned AVSO review appraiser.

10. Even though communication is encouraged with the property owner and FWS, only the assigned AVSO review appraiser can modify appraisal instructions (in writing).

B. Qualifications of Associate Appraisers: The qualifications of any identified associate who may also be signing the appraisal report must be included with the offer. No other associates may work on the project without prior written authorization from the AVSO Review Appraiser. The appraisal report must detail the specific contribution(s) of all individuals, other than the signer(s) of the appraisal. If the contractor does not list anyone else as providing assistance, it is expected that the proposal is submitted as though the individual contractor is doing 100 percent of the research, verifications, property inspections, valuation analyses and appraisal writing. Sub-contracting of this assignment is not permissible.

Non-Price Factor 3 – Past Performance

Government. The Quote provider receiving award may not necessarily be the lowest Price or have the highest Technical Rating.

Non-Price Factors are of equal importance, and when combined, are more important than the Price

Factor.

The Government reserves the right to not make an award as a result of this competition if, in the opinion of the Government, none of the submissions would provide satisfactory performance at a price that is considered fair and reasonable and/or economically feasible.
