This document is a Task Assignment Notification Form (Attachment A) issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under Contract PL288. The task assignment involves real property appraisal services for the Green Swamp project located in Polk County, Florida. String Appraisal Services, Inc., represented by Joseph S. String, has been assigned to provide appraisal services. The contract is managed by DEP Contract Manager Jay F. Scott, with Wayne Griffin designated as the DEP Task Manager. The project involves two separate parcels: one owned by David Meadows (16-7600 file, 152.5 acres) and another owned by Ronnie Bryant (536.6 acres), both part of the Green Swamp-Hilochee Corridor Florida Forever Project.

The fixed-price contract value for this task assignment is $5,750.00, with work to commence upon execution of the task assignment and completion required within 30 days or the contractor's best timeframe. The appraiser must deliver an electronic document in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format containing an Executive Summary, Appraisal Checklist, and compliance with the Supplemental Appraisal Standards for the Board of Trustees. The appraisal applies Supplemental Appraisal Standards and requires a narrative, single-parcel ownership appraisal report format. Payment will not commence until proper invoices with supporting documentation are received and approved, with invoices returned for correction subject to payment delays. The project is funded through Florida Forever using Fund 348020, with work beginning June 17, 2016, as evidenced by the signed affidavit confirming the appraiser's lack of vested or fiduciary interest in the properties being appraised.
