STATEMENT OF WORK

Appraisal and Valuation Services Office (AVSO)

SECTION 1 – Subject Identification & General Information

Identification Case Name MSQ (46)

Location Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont

Acreage 38.00 acres ± (proposed acquisition)

38.00 acres ± (contiguous ownership)

Property Type Non-federal unimproved proposed acquisition

Case Type Acquisition

Client U. S. Department of the Interior, Appraisal and Valuation Services Office (AVSO)

Intended Users The intended users of the report are the client (AVSO) and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on behalf of the United States of America (USA).

Intended Use The appraisal report will be used by FWS in conjunction with negotiating the acquisition of the subject property via a land purchase from the current landowner.

It is not intended for any other use.

Please refer to the authorized Extraordinary Assumption regarding assumed title interests in Section 2 of this SOW; as well as, item #5 of the Special Appraisal Instructions on page 8 of this SOW for additional valuation instructions.

Aerial Map of Subject Property (per FWS)

The proposed acquisition is outlined in red.

Property Description

The parcel is in Swanton, Franklin County, VT. The parcel is surrounded on three sides by the Missisquoi NWR and the fourth side by Maquam Creek.

The 38.00± acre subject property is comprised primarily of marshland (95%), although there is some higher ground with trees.

The property appears to be zoned Agricultural/Residential (per 2021 zoning map). The current & historical use is duck hunting, canoeing, and birdwatching as the property has always been marshland. It was owned by a farmer prior to 1962 but was never used for farming. Surrounding properties are unimproved recreational parcels owned by the State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge.

A map identifying the subject tract is included in this SOW. It is anticipated that additional and expanded descriptive information on the subject’s attributes will be uncovered during a physical inspection and due diligence research by the Appraiser. The Appraiser must immediately notify the AVSO Review Appraiser of any significant discrepancies in the property description provided above. This may result in amended instructions.

The AVSO Division of Mineral Evaluation (DME) conducted research into the mineral potential for the subject tract and concluded there is no evidence to support the existence of mineral resources with development potential.

No transfers were noted within the previous 10 years, nor is the property currently listed for sale. A copy of the most recent vesting deed will be provided to the engaged appraiser.

Property Access

The property is accessible only by canoe from the Black Creek Observation Point; the appraiser will be responsible for supplying the canoe; as well as, portage and paddling. A canoe may be dropped at a public parking area, which is the old Refuge Headquarters. The canoe must be carried along the Black & Maquam Creek Trail to the observation point where there is an access point. Paddling along the Black Creek to Maquam Creek leads to the property. The parking area for the old Refuge Headquarters and noted trail is located is about 3.5 miles along Vermont Route 78, after getting off I-89 near Swanton, VT. A Missisquoi NWR informational pamphlet containing a map depicting the noted reference points will be provided to the contract appraiser.

Legal Description

The 38.00± acre proposed acquisition is not located on town tax maps. Per FWS, the parcel appears to be split between two larger tax parcels labeled: Block MD Lot 0211 and Block TR Lot 0029-0004. The landowner provided a tax bill for the subject which has a parcel ID: NR 0731.0004. As FWS owns the property on three sides, the FWS realty office created a Tract Description (see aerial photo) based on the borders of the other tracts. Note: The acreage by deed is +/- 30 acres, acreage by the Assessor’s/Treasurer’s Office is +/- 33.0 acres, and acreage estimated by FWS is +/- 38.0 acres due to accretion/reliction and erosion associated with Maquam Creek. For purposes of the appraisal, the +/- 38.0 acres estimated by FWS should be used.

Upon a signed offer to purchase, a survey will be completed by FWS prior to acquisition to establish a final legal description for conveyance and determine an accurate acreage. Please refer to item #5 of the Special Appraisal Instructions section of this SOW for additional valuation instructions.

Property Interest to be Acquired

The property interest to be acquired is the fee simple interest with no known encumbrances. Any information developed by the Appraiser, or observations that are found to be contrary to the described property rights must be immediately brought to the attention of the AVSO Review Appraiser as a request for possible amended instructions. The mineral estate is reported to be intact and is to be included in the rights valued.

Reservations/Outstanding Rights

A title report has not and will not be provided by FWS. (Please refer to the authorized Extraordinary Assumption regarding assumed title interests in Section 2 of this SOW.)

There are no reservations, easements, restrictions, or outstanding rights that have been specifically identified by FWS for the property to be acquired or specifically noted within the most recent vesting deed.

Verification with the property owner is advised. Any recorded or unrecorded documents, conditions, agreements, easements and/or encumbrances discovered during a due diligence investigation, in the “normal course of business”, must be identified and discussed in the appraisal report in relation to their impact on value. The appraiser must immediately notify the AVSO Review Appraiser of any indication of significant rights contrary to these described. This may result in amended instructions.

Personal Property None.

Tenancies

None known or noted/reported by USFWS (or report tenancies) The appraiser should confirm with the property owner whether there are any current leases and/or rental agreements for the property.

Larger Parcel

As this request is for a proposed federal acquisition, the Appraiser must identify the larger parcel, or larger parcels (should multiple larger parcels be determined), which satisfies the tests of unity of title/ownership, unity of highest and best use (integrated use), and contiguity/proximity as it relates to the highest and best use. UASFLA requires that the factual basis and Appraiser’s analysis that led to the larger parcel determination and the determination itself be reported. The appraiser must conduct all research necessary for a well-supported Larger Parcel(s) conclusion presented in the appraisal. This is considered an integral part of the highest and best use analysis. (UASFLA 1.2.7.3.1, 1.4.3-1.4.7, 2.3.3.1, & 4.3).

The property to be acquired consists of 38.00 acres ±. FWS reports there are no other contiguous or proximate lands under the same or similar ownership. However, it is ultimately the Appraiser’s responsibility to identify any and all additional lands contiguous or proximate to the subject property having unity of ownership/title in conjunction with unity of highest and best use/integrated use for the purposes of determining the larger parcel(s). It is requested that the Appraiser please notify the AVSO Review Appraiser in advance, after property inspection, concerning the Appraiser’s preliminary larger parcel determination.

Ownership

Information will be provided to the contracted Appraiser upon award.

Owner Contact Information

The owner contact information will be provided to the contracted appraiser upon award.

Subject Property Exhibits

The following exhibits will only be provided to the contracted Appraiser upon purchase award:

1. MSQ (46) Permission to Inspect

2. MSQ (46) Vesting Deed

3. MSQ (46) Tax Bill

4. MSQ (46) CAI Tax Card

5. MSQ (46) Missisquoi NWR Informational Pamphlet

SECTION 2 – Appraisal Requirements & Instructions

Appraisal Standards

1. Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP- 2020/2021 edition) Standards 1 & 2

2. Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA – 6th Edition, 2016)

3. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91-646) as amended; 49 CFR, Part 24

Market Value

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. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions,

1.2.4 of 6th Edition) This definition of value must be placed in the Scope of Work section of the report in accordance with UASFLA 2.3.1.8.

Date of Value

The date of value is to be the date of the last property inspection, which should be within 30 calendar days of the submission of the initial appraisal report, unless the AVSO Review Appraiser approves in advance other conditions in writing.

Extraordinary Assumptions (EA’s)

A title report has not been provided for the property to be acquired and the reviewer is authorizing the use of the following extraordinary assumption.

“It is noted that a title commitment was not provided for the subject property. I received a deed and other information related to the property being appraised, but it is uncertain if this information encompasses all outstanding rights or reservations currently found on the tract. The AVSO client, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), has requested that I assume there is clear title to the subject property and that there are no additional encumbrances or restrictions beyond those already identified (including mineral or other reservations) that could materially affect value. Use of this statement is consistent with FWS policy. A change in the estate appraised, when final title is obtained, could require an amendment of the appraisal or re- appraisal of the property so that the estate appraised matches the estate to be transferred.”

If the Appraiser determines that additional extraordinary assumptions are necessary for credible assignment results, he/she must contact the AVSO Review Appraiser for prior written approval.

Hypothetical Conditions (HC’s)

None. If the Appraiser determines that a hypothetical condition is necessary for credible assignment results, he/she must contact the AVSO Review Appraiser for prior written approval.

Jurisdictional Exceptions (JE’s)

Opinions of market value for federal acquisition purposes shall not be linked to a specific opinion of exposure time [UASFLA, 6th Ed., Section 1.2.4, 1.2.7.2 and 4.2.1.2 (legal basis)], unlike other appraisal assignments subject to USPAP [Standard Rule 1-2(c) and 2-2(a)(vi)]. This exclusion of exposure time requires the use of a Jurisdictional Exception (JE) to USPAP. (Refer to page 15 of USPAP for proper reporting.)

If the Appraiser believes that USPAP’s Jurisdictional Exception Rule is needed to comply with any other additional law or UASFLA regulation, he/she must contact the AVSO Review Appraiser to obtain prior written approval.

Please also note that in accordance with UASFLA, Section 1.2.4, estimates of marketing time are not appropriate and must not be included in appraisal reports prepared to UASFLA standards.

Placement in Report

The Appraiser must clearly identify and discuss the implications of any authorized Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions (including a statement that their use might have affected the assignment results) within the General Assumptions and Limiting Conditions and Scope of Work sections of the appraisal report along with the Jurisdictional Exception (assignment condition) per UASFLA Sections 2.3.1.7 & 2.3.1.8. Please also identify any authorized EAs and HC’s wherever the final value conclusion is stated, this includes the Letter of Transmittal and the Summary of Salient Facts.

Property Inspection

The Appraiser must physically inspect the subject property (UASFLA Section 1.2.6.3). The owner has given permission to enter the property to conduct an inspection. The document granting permission to appraise will be provided to the contracted Appraiser upon award. Please contact the owner (or representative) directly to arrange a date and time for inspection. You must notify the AVSO Review Appraiser, in advance, when the property inspection will occur.

For appraisals with an intended use of acquisition, the Appraiser must certify in the report that he/she extended an offer to the property owner (or the owner’s representative) to accompany him/her during the property inspection. [Uniform Relocation Assistance & Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91-646) as amended and the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions, 6th Ed. (Section 2.3.1.4)]

Pre-Work Meeting/Conference Call

The contracted Appraiser will be required to participate in a pre-work meeting by telephone with the assigned AVSO Review Appraiser. The AVSO Review Appraiser will coordinate the date and time of the pre-work meeting directly with the contracted Appraiser.

Controversies/Issues

Should the Appraiser identify controversies or issues during the course of assignment, immediately notify the assigned AVSO Review Appraiser.

Legal Instructions

None given.

Special Appraisal Instructions

1. Even though communication is encouraged with the property owner and the client agency, only the assigned AQD Contracting Officer, in conjunction with the assigned AVSO Review Appraiser’s concurrence, can modify appraisal instructions (in writing).

2. The Appraiser may not communicate assignment results to any party except AVSO unless authorized to do so in writing by AVSO.

3. Any communication (verbal or written) with the Client Agency Realty Contact shall include the assigned AVSO Review Appraiser.

4. The submission of the initial appraisal report should be within 30 days of the last property inspection, unless the AVSO Review Appraiser approves in advance other conditions in writing.

5. The area of acquisition is estimated to contain approximately 38.00 acres ±, with the actual acreage to be acquired dependent upon completion of a formal survey. Consequently, if the larger parcel is appraised on a “per acre” basis (versus on a “per lot” or “per site” basis), it is requested that in addition to stating the final conclusions(s) of the larger parcel(s) within the appraisal report, an opinion of whether the unit value (e.g., $XX/acre) for the larger parcel(s) would apply to a site size of 30.00 to

42.00 acres. This is an assignment condition and to be reported as such within the appraisal report:

NOTE TO INTENDED USER: This range in acreage for the concluded unit value is only applicable to the footprint of the final surveyed acreage for the appraised larger parcel(s) and considers no material changes to the physical characteristics of the larger parcel(s). This tool is only intended to assist the acquiring agency in re-calculating/rectifying the value of the appraised larger parcel(s), after completion of the survey . The range in acreage within which the concluded unit value(s) would be valid is not intended for use by the acquiring agency/client to add additional lands/tracts to the proposed acquisition or to allow the retention/removal of lands/tracts from the proposed acquisition by the landowner or client agency as a result of negotiations after the appraisal has been completed. Addition or removal of a tract(s) from the appraised larger parcel could change the physical characteristics of the property and require amendment of the appraisal or reappraisal.

General Appraisal Requirements & Instructions

1. The Appraiser must hold a valid license as a Certified General Appraiser as demonstrated by a copy of the state certificate. (Valid credentials would also include those issued under a reciprocity agreement and/or those characterized as “temporary” under the jurisdiction’s licensing and certification statutes where the subject is located and must also be provided if applicable.)

2. This AVSO Statement of Work and pages 1 & 2 of the Contract Award document must be included within the Addenda to the appraisal report along with the Appraiser's license, to include temporary if applicable, and qualifications.

3. All appraisals complying with UASFLA should reasonably conform to the sequence and content outlined in UASFLA, Section 2.3 as well as Appendix B or C, depending on applicability.

4. The appraisal is to be documented in an “Appraisal” reporting format [USPAP Standard 2- 2(a)].

UASFLA, Section 2.2 states that reporting formats set forth under Sections 2.3, 2.4, and

2.5 (Appendix B, C, or D) are consistent with and/or exceed the requirements for an appraisal report under Standard 2 of USPAP.

5. The Appraiser must appraise the subject property in its existing “As Is” condition unless otherwise instructed herein or authorized in writing by the AVSO Review Appraiser to do otherwise.

6. All the comparable properties used in direct comparison to the subject are to be personally inspected (UASFLA Section 1.2.6.3).
