Specifications include, but are not limited to: 2.1 The Appraiser shall prepare, sign and furnish the City with three (3) sets of a separate, written appraisal report and an electronic copy. All appraisals are prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as promulgated by the Appraisal Foundation, except when they conflict with the State and Federal requirements for eminent domain, in which case the jurisdictional exception provision and/or supplemental standards of USPAP is applicable. 2.2 The intent is for each parcel of property to incorporate all contiguous real estate and real estate in reasonable proximity thereof that is under the same ownership, leasehold and operating unit, or shall incorporate the property specified by the City in their definition of the appraisal assignment. It is understood that the data provided to the Appraiser is based on preliminary information and is subject to revision if the total property unit is subsequently determined to be different than that described in the Parcel Files. The Appraiser must verify in the field the true extent of the property unit and notify the City if it is found to be different than described in the furnished data. The City may revise the assignment accordingly. 2.3 Assignment Revisions – When changes are made in the extent of the property unit to be appraised or, when revisions are made in the proposed Right of Way acquisition or, when changes are made in the appraisal assignment for other reasons, the City may, after consultation with the Appraiser, adjust the amount of the Appraiser’s fee, either increased or decreased, in accordance with the complexity of, and time allowed for, the revised appraisal assignment. Any adjustment made in either the Appraiser’s fee or the completion date shall be documented by the City in the form of a contract amendment to the Appraiser. 2.4 No report shall be considered complete unless it is documented in a manner consistent with the appraisal assignment as specified in the Iowa Department of Transportation’s “Appraisal Policy & Procedures Manual” and submitted as one original copy, two hard copies and an electronic copy. If the City Review Appraiser finds that the report is either deficient or incomplete, the Appraiser shall furnish all requested supplemental data necessary to correct any deficiency or to complete any report in a manner consistent with the documentation standard of the appraisal assignment. No additional payment shall be made for any supplemental data furnished by the Appraiser to correct a deficiency or to complete a report. 2.5 Confidential and Independent Work – The Appraiser will prepare all appraisals made hereunder independent of any other appraiser employed by the City in the same work and will not subcontract, assign or otherwise transfer any of the work to other persons or firms. Where necessary the Appraiser may employ a specialist to furnish specific value or cost information. The Appraiser will not furnish to any other person, corporation, company or agency, except on proper order of court or authorized directive from the City, a copy of any appraisal or any of the information contained therein.
