unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County.

RE: Real estate appraisal and appraisal report in oral format of a private property, to be identified by Eagle County
Government, located in northern Eagle County, Colorado.
Dear Ms. Gilles:
Pursuant to your request, I am happy to submit this engagement letter for the above referenced appraisal assignment.
The appraisal and analyses shall be prepared for Eagle County including attorneys, employees, and board members; and
may be shared with the prospective seller at the discretion of Eagle County. The purpose of the appraisal is as a basis for
negotiating the purchase price of a 100 percent fee simple interest in the surface estate of the identified subject property
by the County. No other users or uses are expressed or implied. Any narrative reports I produce are not to be released to
any parties not noted above and/or not associated with the above stated use, other than by the County through the FOIA.
The purpose of the appraisal is to provide an opinion of the Market Value of 100 percent fee simple interest in the
surface estate of the subject property. The market valuation will be pursued through all applicable and accepted
approaches to value. The legal property appraised will be the fee simple estate in the surface estate of the property. The
property will be appraised assuming there is no environmental contamination.
Neither my employment nor my compensation will in any way be contingent upon the development or reporting of a
predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of the client(s), the amount of the value opinion, the
attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event directly related to the intended use of this
appraisal. The value estimate will be reached without collaboration or compulsion.
The reported analyses, opinions, and conclusions will be developed in conformity with Standards Rule 2-1 and the
report(s) will be prepared in conformity with Standards Rule 2-2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice (USPAP) and with the Code of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute.
I anticipate completing the appraisal and providing you with an Oral Report on, about or before August 30, 2024. I will
make every effort to complete the assignment and report earlier; however, no assurance of early completion can be
made. I can only complete the appraisal and report in a timely manner if I receive expeditiously any relevant information
needed for the preparation of the appraisal assignment and report that I may request at a later date.
My fee for the previously stated appraisal assignment and associated oral appraisal report “Services” will be no more
than $4,000. The appraisal fee includes the cost of certain expenses that may be incurred in the preparation of the
assignments and the report. Should a Narrative Report – delivered electronically – be necessary and requested by you, a
separate Agreement for Services will be required and the additional fee for such “Services” will be $2,000.
Although none are anticipated for this assignment, the fee does not include the costs of other professionals, such as title
agents, engineers, planners, attorneys, etc. who might be necessary. Should I deem it necessary to retain other
professionals, your approval will be requested and needed before doing so. Any approved professionals are to be retained
and compensated by Eagle County unless other arrangements are made.

completion the appraisal assignment is cancelled, the same hourly rate will apply for the work completed previous to the
time of cancellation.
