In some <br />cases, these services will be cost -shared as part of approved <br />state acquisition program funding. The Budget Department has <br />indicated that inter -fund borrowing could make funds available for <br />pre-acquisition services prior to bonds issuance, whereby inter - <br />fund reimbursement would occur when the bonds are issued. <br />The cost for each of the services will vary anywhere from +$2,000 <br />to +$2010001 depending on site specific factors. For example, <br />appraisals may cost from $2,000 to $8,000, depending on the nature <br />of the property being evaluated. Likewise, land surveys may vary <br />from a few thousand dollars upwards to +$20,000, depending on <br />variables such as the size of a property, survey history, wetland <br />boundary surveying, sovereignty lands issues, etc. <br />Staff is requesting that the Board authorize FloridAffinity to <br />subcontract pre-acquisition due diligence services on an as -need <br />basis, contingent upon county administrator approval. <br />63 <br />September 6, 1994 <br />BOOK 93 PnF.2 b <br />
