PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

APPRAISAL SERVICES, REAL ESTATE DIVISION

US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, HUNTINGTON DISTRICT

The primary goal is to provide an appraisal or other valuation product of the subject real estate, including fee and/or partial interests, and where required, applying acceptable appraisal methods with consideration for:

Highest and best use analyses, improvement contributions, comparable sales, and the three methods of valuation.

Further, the appraisals must be prepared in a way that, if discovered in any court proceeding, is in format fully acceptable for condemnation proceedings, and contain relevant data, appropriate analysis, and conclusions that are well supported and are not misleading for the purpose intended. Appraisals may be written in a streamlined and/or macro format , but only if requested by the regional Chief Appraiser or delegate, and sufficient to communicate the essentials to satisfy the intended use and purpose of the assignment. All appraisal work must be done in accordance with UASFLA, USPAP, and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property

Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended (Public Law 91-646) (URAR). In accordance with the URAR the principal appraiser will contact each landowner and afford the landowner or his representative the right to accompany the appraiser on his site inspection of the subject property. This contact will be documented in the appraisal report. The principal appraiser will make the site inspection and sign the appraisal report. If any of the appraisal is to be undertaken by someone other than the principal appraiser, that appraiser should also co-sign the report and his/her contribution must be noted. If the principal appraiser elects to work with another appraisal firm, or otherwise sub-contract any or all of the appraisal product, the principal must first receive the Chief

Appraiser or delegates approval and nevertheless shall still retain duty to inspect subject property, develop appropriate geographic competency, and sign as the principal appraiser.

Since the properties may be under the threat of condemnation a second price should be quoted to update each type of appraisal to the filing of the declaration of taking commonly called the "date of taking appraisal". A price should also be quoted for each type of report for revisions to an already approved appraisal. A revision may become necessary as a result of a physical change to the property that may occur prior to the acquisition of the property by the Government.

The following are general requirements for all of the requests:

FORMATTING & GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

SECTION 1 - SUBJECT /DENT/FICA TION & GENERAL INFORMATION

Summary Identification: The property will be identified to the appraiser to include legal description, ownership information, property access information (if available) and contact information (if available) for inspection purposes.

Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

Intended Users: USACE, Huntington District

Intended Use: For use by USACE on behalf of the United States of America or Local Sponsor in connection with the identified property. The appraisal report will not be intended for any other use.

Provided Subject Property Information:

The following documents and reports are examples of what might be provided under separate cover:

Location Map

Assessor Plat

Preliminary Title Report, other documents

Other-map(s), exhibits

SECTION 2 - APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS & INSTRUCTIONS

Appraisal Standards: The appraiser must be familiar with and have written reports that conform to standards established by the Uniform Standards of Professional

Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land

Acquisitions (UASFLA. - Yellow Book

; and the requirements of the Uniform

Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisiti on Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91-

646) as amended; Federal Regulations 49 CFR, Part 24; USACE ER 405-1-04. As part of the appraisal, any environmental issues must be documented and addressed. In the development of the appraisal, the appraiser must collect and properly analyze data about the subject property. The appraiser must identify all characteristics that impact value, which may include access and road frontage, topography, soils, vegetation (including timber and crops), views, land area and shape, utilities, mineral deposits, water rights, and easements or other encumbrances. The presence of hazardous substances should be considered by appraisers in accordance with the assignment conditions. In addition, a notation identifying the observed existence or nonexistence of cemeteries or burial plots

Market Value: The definition of market value for this assignment will be as described in UASFLA, 2016 1.2.4. "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".

Property Interest: The rights to be appraised will be provided to the appraiser.

Date of Value: The same as the date of last property inspection; which must be within 30 calendar days of the submission of the completed appraisal report, unless the appraiser receives written approval from the review appraiser prior to preparation of the appraisal report.

Environmental

Conditions: Unless notified in writing to the contrary, the market value of the subject property will be based on the assumption that there are no environmental conditions adversely affecting the property and its use. Furthermore , the opinion of value expressed should assume environmental compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations.

Extraordinary

Assumption(s): The appraiser may not assume or invoke any extraordinary assumption without documented written approval from the Chief appraiser or delegate.

Hypothetical

Condition(s): None allowed without documented written approval from the Chief appraiser or delegate.

Jurisdictional

Exception: If the appraiser perceives that USPAP's Jurisdictional Exception Rule should be invoked to meet certain other standards in UASFLA, the appraiser must contact the

Chief appraiser or delegate to obtain prior written approval.

1 It is recommended that the appraiser have taken the Appraisal Institute class, The Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (Yellow Book).

General Appraisal Requirements & Instructions:

1. The contracted appraiser must hold a valid State Certificate as a Certified General Appraiser for the state in which the subject property is located.

2. The appraiser's Scope-of-Work must result in credible assignment results for the intended use.

3. The Statement-of-Work and the employment contract must be included within the addenda of the appraisal report.

4. Any contract with a timber cruise and valuation individual or company that substantially aided in the development of the analysis and report must be included in the addenda of the appraisal.

5. The appraiser may be required to attend a pre-appraisal meeting with the property owner, the USAGE

Realty Specialist and the Chief or Review Appraiser.

The date, time and place of the meeting (if required) will be coordinated by the review appraiser and communicated to the appraiser and other necessary parties.

6. For appraisals with an intended use of acquisition or exchange , the Uniform Relocation Assistance and

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91- 646) as amended and the Uniform Appraisal

Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (Section A-4 , pages 9 & 10), require the appraiser to offer the property owner and/or the owner's representative an opportunity to accompany the appraiser during the property inspection. The appraiser must certify in the report that such an offer was extended .

7. The appraiser must make a personal inspection of the subject property and all of the comparable market properties used in the analyses unless specific arrangements to the contrary have been approved in writing by the review appraiser prior to the commencement of the assignment.

8. The appraisal is to be documented in an Appraisal Report format. See UASFLA page 9, which states that a report prepared in accordance with UASFLA will be considered as meeting the USPAP requirements for a Self-Contained report, which is now referred to as an Appraisal Report.

9. The appraisal report will be reviewed for compliance with the terms of this Statement-of-Work, UASFLA, and USPAP Standards 1 and 2. Findings of inadequacy, if any, will require clarification and/or correction to the report.

10. The opinions of current market value may not be predicated upon potential highest and best uses that are speculative or conjectural. A proposed highest and best use requires showing reasonable probability that the land is both physically adaptable , legally permissible for such use and there is an economic need or demand for such use in the reasonably near future. The appraiser 's conclusion of highest and best use must be an economic use. A non-economic highest and best use, such as conservation, natural lands, preservation or any use that requires the property to be withheld from economic production in perpetuity, is not a valid use upon which to estimate market value.

11. Essential in the appraiser's conclusion of highest and best use is the determination of larger parcel. The appraiser must make a larger parcel determination in every appraisal conducted for any partial acquisition , unless this is waived by the Chief appraiser or delegate. (See USAFLA Section 4.3.3 instead of Section A-14)

12. The preferred method of adjusting comparable sales is through supported quantitative adjustments

(percentage , $/acre, etc.); qualitative adjustments (similar , inferior, or superior) are to be used only when the market variables cannot be quantified. Quantitative adjustments without support are unacceptable. When the appraiser must resort to qualitative analyses , support that is more extensive and discussion of the appraiser's reasoning why a comparable sale is similar, inferior, or superior to the subject property is required. All adjustments must be supported by clear, appropriate, and credible analysis based on documented market research . Mere references to undisclosed "trends," or reliance on the Appraiser’s "opinion" or "judgment” without market support is an unacceptable practice. Market support includes discussions with buyers/sellers, potential investors , brokers, and others knowledgeable about the market. The appraiser must also recognize that variances in sale prices may be caused by multiple factors and should not over adjust a comparable by double counting overlapping items.

13. Appraisers without a complete understanding of fundamental statistical concepts must not rely on regression analysis techniques to extract adjustments for the sales comparison approach . Without a discussion of how each comparable sale property relates to the subject property and a statistical interpretation of the validity of the results, applying a regression analysis is not acceptable.

18. USACE will not normally accept custody of confidential information. Should the appraiser find it necessary to rely on confidential information , he or she will contact the review appraiser for instructions.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.
