Exhibit "A"
Scope of Services
Purpose of the Appraisal
The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the fee simple value of the subject property. The
appraisal will be used by the Clients as a basis for negotiating the transfer of the subject
property.
Scope of Assignment
Perform appraisal services in accordance to any project work orders. To develop the opinions of
value, we require that you perform a Complete Appraisal in a Self Contained Report as defined
by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). This means that
departures from Standard 1 will not be invoked. The use of Extraordinary Assumptions or
Hypothetical Conditions is not allowed. The appraisals will set forth the data, reasoning and
analyses that are used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser's opinions of value.
All applicable appraisal techniques should be considered. Specific attention should be paid to
the Highest and Best Use, Sales Comparison Approach and Development Analysis sections of
the report. The appraisal report should also specifically address all of the Relevant Findings of
Fact, including those identified in the Conceptual Review.
Recreational Trail
The City of Fort Collins is seeking to acquire a Recreational Trail right-of-way (ROW) through
privately owned areas. Well supported appraisal reports will be required to successfully
acquire the properties.
The Scope of the assignment should incorporate a number of specific issues including:
The report should detail the Appraisers experience and qualifications in appraising
partial acquisitions of Recreational Trail ROW.
Extra attention should be given to identifying the Larger Parcels. Specifically, the report
should provide a discussion on whether or not the surrounding single family dwellings
are part of the Larger Parcels.
A part of the trail alignment passes through an Open Space Tract with limited economic
utility. The site utility should be incorporated into the land value conclusion.
Parts of the trail alignment incorporate existing irrigation improvements owned by the
land owners. The analysis should specifically address the impact of the ROW on the
improvements.
Specific attention should be paid to determining whether or not the planned ROW will
result in any "Damages" to the remainder parcel.
