Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding Solicitation - 140D0426Q0240.

• Question 1 (Soil Borings/Geo-Tech): The ROW Encumbrance Documents referenced in the Draft Affordable Housing Matrix will be provided to the Contract Appraiser upon Contract Award. The document does not explicitly state if soil borings/geo-tech results are completed or if they can be provided at this time. Appraisers are not expected to make extraordinary assumptions regarding subsurface conditions; the appraisal should proceed on an "as is" basis assuming no adverse conditions.
• Question 2 (Extraordinary Assumptions): The SOW prohibits extraordinary assumptions without prior written approval from the AVSO Review Appraiser. Given the federal parcel status and lack of title insurance/Phase I ESA, the government does not anticipate extraordinary assumptions being necessary after contract award.
• Question 3 (Unit of Comparison): The requirements for the unit of comparison are set forth in Special Appraisal Instructions #5 and #6 of the SOW, with related considerations in Instructions #3, #4, and #7. The document does not specify if the primary analysis will be per-unit or per-acre, deferring to the appraiser's judgment.
• Question 4 (AACE Act Authority): All quotes will be considered regarding the authority granted under the AACE Act for appraisers licensed in other states to perform the assignment without a Nevada temporary practice permit or reciprocal credential, provided the Act's conditions are met.

These clarifications provide specific guidance on the handling of subsurface conditions, the use of extraordinary assumptions, and the basis for appraisal analysis, which may impact how bidders prepare their proposals and approach the scope of work.
