SCOPE OF WORK The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced firms and/or individuals to provide appraisal services related to the acquisition of two signboard easements needed for the construction of the MAX BRT Project. This Project is being funded through the Federal Transit Authority; therefore, all appraisals services must conform to the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisitions Policies Act of 1970 as Amended (Public Law 91-646). Also, all appraisals shall be in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and should follow valuation methods for billboards and other outdoor advertising devices included in 23 CFR 750 Part D. The selected firm and/or individual will work directly with the City of Fort Collins Real Estate Services Office (“RES”). In addition to the Uniform Act referenced above, these appraisal services for the MAX BRT Project will be guided by the following document which is available digitally upon request : Real Estate Acquisition Management Plan (“RAMP”) – dated August 2008; revised June 15, 2009, Revised September 10, 2010 and revised December 20, 2011. The property interests to be appraised under this Request for Proposal are two signboards and easements. Each signboard is built on one pole imbedded into the ground. These signboards and associated easements are located in the Burlington Northern Railroad (“BNSF”) right-of-way at the northeast corner of Horsetooth Road and the BNSF Railroad and the northeast corner of Prospect Road and the BNSF Railroad. These signboards are granted by a signboard Easement between the BNSF and Outdoor Systems, Inc., recorded on December 23, 1997 at Reception No. 97086045 in the Office of the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder, including, but not limited to any leasehold interests by the Lamar Company, LLC, NextMedia Outdoor, Inc., and/or any and all related entities or other entities. The appraisals must be completed and submitted for review to the City of Fort Collins by March 29, 2013. II. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Mason Corridor/MAX BRT Project is a north-south Bus Rapid Transit system, in the central area of Fort Collins. The project corridor extends from Cherry Street on the North, to approximately 1/4 mile south of Harmony Road, with a total length of approximately five miles. The BRT system will be located within an exclusive guideway for the length of 3.6 miles with the remaining 1.4 miles intermixed with street traffic on portions of McClelland Drive and Mason Street. Along the entire length of the corridor the BRT system runs parallel to the RFP 7460 Appraisal Services – Bill Boards Page 4 of 28 existing Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks. At varying locations, the BRT system will be located within a combination of property owned by the BNSF, City of Fort Collins’, Colorado State University, and private land owners. The Mason Corridor/MAX BRT project includes a dedicated guideway from the proposed South Transit Center, approximately 1/4 mile south of Harmony Road, north to the existing Downtown Transit Center. The guideway includes one new transit center, seven Park-N-Ride lots, eight stations, eight curb-side stops, expansion of the existing Transfort maintenance facility, and the development of an extensive Intelligent Transportation Systems communication network. Beginning at the South Transit Center, an exclusive BRT guideway will connect north to Horsetooth Road, and from Drake Road to University Avenue. Between Horsetooth and Drake, and between University and the existing Downtown Transit Center, BRT operation will join vehicular traffic on Mason Street. The Mason Corridor/MAX BRT system will use low-floor, rubber-tire, and 60’ articulated transit vehicles. The BRT vehicles would be clearly differentiated from conventional buses and the stations/stops will be designed to emulate light rail stations. The Mason Corridor/MAX BRT project is funded through several sources. The non-federal sources include the CDOT State Transit Funding Program Senate Bill (SB) 97-1 Transit Funds, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and local funding from the City of Fort Collins. The primary Federal funding for the Mason Corridor/MAX BRT Project is Section 5309 New Starts/Small Starts Funds. III.

INCORPORATION OF FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA) TERMS RFP 7460 Appraisal Services – Bill Boards Page 14 of 28 Incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Terms - The preceding provisions include, in part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by DOT, whether or not expressly set forth in the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required by DOT, as set forth in FTA Circular 4220.1E, are hereby incorporated by reference. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all FTA mandated terms shall be deemed to control in the event of a conflict with other provisions contained in this Agreement. The Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to perform any act, or refuse to comply with any (name of grantee) requests which would cause (name of grantee) to be in violation of the FTA terms and conditions. 9. GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT) Background and Applicability In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension, Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455, Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327). The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level) for Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as “covered transactions.” Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300. Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement in their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels). Clause Language The following clause language is suggested, not mandatory. It incorporates the optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified by certification. Suspension and Debarment This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at 49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945. The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into. By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows: RFP 7460 Appraisal Services – Bill Boards Page 15 of 28 The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by {insert agency name}. If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to remedies available to {insert agency name}, the Federal Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions. 10. BREACHES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION Disputes - Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract which are not resolved by agreement of the parties shall be decided in writing by the authorized representative of City's [title of employee]. This decision shall be final and conclusive unless within [ten (10)] days from the date of receipt of its copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written appeal to the [title of employee]. In connection with any such appeal, the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its position. The decision of the [title of employee] shall be binding upon the Contractor and the Contractor shall abide be the decision. Performance During Dispute - Unless otherwise directed by City, Contractor shall continue performance under this Contract while matters in dispute are being resolved. Claims for Damages - Should either party to the Contract suffer injury or damage to person or property because of any act or omission of the party or of any of his employees, agents or others for whose acts he is legally liable, a claim for damages therefor shall be made in writing to such other party within a reasonable time after the first observance of such injury of damage.

Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of the contract to which this Attachment has been added: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Purchaser or Contractor may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Purchaser or Contractor authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as the Federal Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. § 19.36, the Federal Government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "Federal Government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)1 and (2)(b)2 of this clause below.

(c) When FTA awards Federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, the Purchaser and the Contractor performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment is added agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either FTA's license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the course of that contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the contract for which a copyright has not been obtained.

Neither the Purchaser nor the Contractor shall be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal Government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the Federal Government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the Federal Government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Purchaser or Contractor and financed entirely without using Federal assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated into work required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that the Purchaser or Contractor identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the contract work. (g) Unless FTA determines otherwise, the Contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA. (3) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective of the Contractor's status (i.e., a large business, small business, state government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual, etc.), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R.

RFP 7460 Appraisal Services – Bill Boards Page 20 of 28 (2) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing, irrespective of the Contractor's status (a large business, small business, state government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher education, individual), the Purchaser and the Contractor agree to take the necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R.
