RE: Repurpose vehicles
I performed a vehicle assessment on two former police cruisers:
e OLDCARI3 1FMSK8ARIGGB89105 2016 FORD SUV, 135766mi
e OLDCARIO LFMSK8AR7GGB89111 2016 FORD SUV, 125036mi

© A20 IFMEU73E68UA17301 2001 FORD EXPLORER, 95,062mi
The two retired police cruisers would be able to fulfill the part time roles of the current
A9 & A20. A9 and A20 are in severe mechanical and cosmetic decline that require to be
taken out of service in the near future, A9 is currently used by the Assistant Public Works
Director and A20 is used by the town's mail courier. Both of these vehicles are currently
used in a “part time” role,

tractor, S/N (VIN) # - 1D50S003477; and, the HUDSON trailer, S/N (VIN) #
LOHHSE144E1000246. Prior to been declared surplus, these two pieces were assets assigned
to the Recreation and Parks Department.
As previously detailed on the [future years] narrative associated with the Utility
Commission [CIP] fleet management plan, it is our desire to have some (Utility Commission]
light duty equipment to do some of the field repairs work in-house. This is a good start, and
at no additional cost, '

Tali,
Will you kindly prepare a Request for Reassignment of Equipment for items 4 48&51 on the attached spreadsheet, the
John Deere Tractor and Hudson Trailer. .
These items were originally assets of Recreation and Parks and have been replaced with current equipment, therefore
they are slated for surplus.
As we do not currently poses any construction equipment, these assets would be very beneficial to our operation. We
have borrowed this equipment on several previous occasions and are currently conducting in- house grounds
maintenance at our pump stations where this equipment will be well utilized.
Most recently, we unfortunately experienced two Low Pressure Sewer Force Main breaks which we “contracted out” the
repair, we could have addressed these deficiencies In-House if we had this equipment readily avallable. Although this
equipment is small and has its limitations, it would suit many of our current needs and do so without expending capita!
funds. This equipment is currently operational however will require some minor attention which we are very capabie of
providing.
In order for the Utility Commission to procure these assets ,a Request for Reassignment must be brought to the entire
BOS for their consideration,
Thank you.

Mr. Brule:
The Purchasing Department on behalf of the Public Works Department, requests a bid waiver to
procure Salt for season 2021-2022 from Eastern Salt Company Inc.

encountered difficulty with the State at the eleventh-hour, and is unable to supply product
to anyone for this season. As a result, alternative pricing was sought from Eastern
Salt Company Inc., being the lone vendor able to provide pricing at this moment.

nuclea
These details will be confirmed and accounted for by Federal during the course of completing the Appraisal.
3.1. Site Inspection
Federal is available to physically inspect the Subject, if requested.
4, Valuation Definitions and Assumptions
Federal will work with the Client to ensure that the various appraisal and valuation definitions and assumptions
employed in the Appraisal Report are appropriate for the client's purpose and use. For example, Federal will work
with the Client to ensure the Appraisal assumes proper definitions of value for Client's purposes. Examples of
general definitions are shown in following sections.
4.1, Market Value Concept
Below are definitions taken from The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, sixth edition, published by the Appraisal
Institute. This value is often but not always equivalent to taxing jurisdiction's definition of the taxable value.
Market Value:
4. The most probable price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms equivalent to cash, or in other
precisely revealed terms, for which the specified property rights should sell after reasonable exposure
in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each
acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under undue
duress.
2. Definition from USPAP". A type of value, stated as an opinion, that presumes the transfer of a property
(Le., a right of ownership or a bundle of such rights), as of a certain date, under specific conditions set
forth in the definition of the term identified by the appraiser as applicable in an appraisal.
3. Federal Register. The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is
the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under
conditions whereby:
Buyer and seller ara typically motivated;
Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests;
A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financlal arrangements comparable
thereto; and
The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or
creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

There are various concepts that often relate to market value in the context of property taxation. The concepts
include highest and best use and fee simple and leased fee estates.
Highest and Best Use:
1, The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically
possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The

Register 29499, June 7, 1994).

approaches to value: Cost Approach, Sales Comparison Approach, and income Approach. Federa
appraisal methodologies with legal counsel to ensure that the appraisal is consistent with Connecticut law and any
court precedents on the matter.
54, Sales Comparison Approach
Federal will attempt to estimate the market values of the Subject utilizing the Sales Comparison Approach. It
involves the comparison of sales (or offerings) of properties similar to the Ssubject. If the comparable sales are not
exactly like the subject, adjustments are made to the sale price of the comparable sales (or offerings). When
adequate data on sales allows the completion of the adjustment process, the Sales Comparison Approach is a
reliable method to determine value.
5.2. Income Approach
The Income Approach will also be considered in the Appraisal. The underlying principle in this approach is that
buyers invest in properties like the Subject for the satisfaction of receiving the anticipated future income. Federal
will attempt to replicate the analysis buyers and sellers would make on the expected income and any inherent risk,
Specifically, Federal plans to employ a discounted future cash flow ("DCF") method of the income approach. The
DCF approach estimates the value of the Facility by considering the prospective operational results and the
financial positions of the Subject, over multiple years. Federal expects to complete a DCF on the power plant
asset.
Federal will also attempt to evaluate the Facility using direct capitalization techniques. In this technique, income for
a single year is converted directly into an indication of value. This technique is useful because it is mathematically
the simplest income approach to complete. However, if it proves to be unsound as an independent appraisal
technique, Federal may attempt to utilize it as cross-checking technique and “range of value” indicator.
5.2.1. Electricity Price and Fuel Price Forecaster
Federal will utilize any appropriate forecast of electricity and fuel prices (“forecast”) supplied by an independent
forecaster engaged and patd.for by the Client. Federal assumes that the Client will engage a qualified forecasting
firm and that the forecast will be sound. Federal will work with the forecasting firm to ensure that the forecast can
be coordinated with and utilized in Federal's appraisal. Federal expects that the Client will ensure that the
forecasting firm will work with Federal to similarly ensure that the forecast can be utilized in Federal's appraisal. To
the extent professionally capable, Federal will conduct an independent review of the forecast. The Federal review
of the forecast will include a review of the qualifications of the writers of the forecast report, the certification and
general assumptions and limiting conditions of the report, and the purpose, use and scope of the report. To the
extent professionally capable, Federal will review the various analysis assumptions and methodologies. Even if the
Client engages a forecaster, Federal may still complete its own forecast of electricity and fuel prices.
If the Client does not wish to engage an electricity price forecaster, Federal will complete its own forecast of
electricity prices in order to complete the Appraisals using data from SNL and S&P Globa! Market Intelligence,
which is a subscription data service providing market data in the energy and utility industries,
5.2.2. Power Purchase or Other Agreements
Federal will consider the impact of any power purchase agreements (wholesale power contracts) or other major
contracts that are relevant as of the valuation date and as permissible under the applicable law, and market terms,
if required by applicable law. Federal will work with the Client and thelr counsel to ensure proper appraisal and
legal assumptions concerning major contracts for our Appraisals.

approach's ability to isolate specific assets that roll up to comprise overall value, the cost approach is commonly
employed, in conjunction with sales and/or income approaches, to complete residual and allocation techniques.
The income and/or the sales approaches are used to determine the overall value, and the cost approach is used to
determine the value of component assets to be excluded. The difference between the reconciled income or the
sales approaches and the cost approach yields the value of the residual asset.
5.4. Residual Valuation Techniques
When the appraisal assignment calls for it, various techniques, such as allocations, residuals, or summations may
be made to or with the various elements or components of the concluded values from the three traditional
approaches, in order to determine overall asset values or parts of a overall value.
6. Client Furnished Data and Access
In order to complete our analyses in a timely manner, the Client must provide certain information. This information
should include but not be limited to the data included with Information Request, which Is attached to this proposal.
We understand certain information may not be available and we will work with the Client to obtain this information.
Throughout the project we reserve the right to request other available data that we may deem as appropriate to
complete our appraisals.
7. Legal, Accounting, and Engineering Services
Federal is not a legal, accounting, or an engineering services provider. Federal will either work with attorneys,
accountants or engineers contracted or employed by the Client, or will contract for such services and bill the Client
for the contract expense. These services may or may not be needed.
8. Qualifications
