Coordinate the distribution of appraisal assignments using City -approved appraisers. Prepare request for proposals to obtain bids for assignments. Coordinate. Meet with selected appraisers to review and discuss the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the Uniform Act and Title 25 California Code of Regulations. Determine with the City what types of reports are required and the required written notice of inspection to the owner. In all cases a complete appraisal is required. The format and level of documentation for an appraisal report depend on the complexity of the appraisal problem. Complex property assignments are to be reported in a self-contained, narrative format. A summary report, in conformance with USPAP Standards Rule 2-2(b) is permitted in cases, which, by virtue of their low value or simplicity, do not require the in-depth analysis and presentation necessary in a self-contained appraisal report. Complete Appraisal Summary Statement. Obtain appraisals prepared in accordance with California law and USPAP. Reports are then date stamped, recorded and properly dispersed. Review appraisal reports and appraisal summary statement to be sure they comply with applicable regulations. PAGE 12 1 ON -CALL RIGHT OF WAY COORDINATOR
