John also reported that it was a positive meeting. Yes, you understand the process correctly. The next step would be for NPS to send the packet over to OAS/OVS to begin the appraisal process.

Also, as an FYI, there will be likely some news in the next few days discussing the tunnel please note that the news will be referring to the state (northern) portion of the parkway, not the federal (southern) portion of the parkway. Thanks, Steve On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 12:49 PM, Steve Davis <steve@horingcoimpany.com> wrote: Just met with John this morning - had a great conversation and he was highly knowledgeable. As I understood it, the process is: 1. NPS/DOI writes a formal letter to John's office (OVS) that they would like an appraisal done 2. Upon receipt, NPS/DOI work together to form the scope of work for the appraisal (1 month) 3. OVS sends scope of work to multiple appraisers and works, per their regulations, towards an appraisal contract (1 month) 4. Actual appraisal (2-3 months) 5. OVS reviews the appraisal and, if all looks good, releases (1 month) Thus, 6 months seems doable, assuming nothing surprising happens (which is always a risk). He noted that NPS does not have to be the agency doing the valuation (could be done under DOT), but it seems fully reasonable for DOI to do this given the ownership and given John's team's vast experience. If all are onboard, what steps would need to be taken to complete Step 1? Is there anything I can do, or would DOI/NPS talk internally? Really appreciate all of your time and help on this project.

Todd, cc'd, will follow-up with the Park Service regarding getting the appraisal underway in a compliant manner. I've also cc'd two of the other participants on the call - Bob Vogel (both Acting Deputy Director of the NPS & NCR Director) and Peter May (Associate NCR Director for Lands and Planning). John Ross's contact info is pasted in below. Feel free to reach out to his office directly to get even more information about the appraisal process. All appraisers within the Department report ultimately to him. As I noted on the call, a key component of the reforms we launched in the early 2000s was ensuring that appraisers report only to appraisers all the way through to the SES level. This is one part of ensuring the integrity of DOI appraisal process. Protecting appraisals from any form of interference remains a top priority. Best, Dan John W.

With regards to next steps, we will be looking into the 501c3 topic, and would appreciate any help in connecting w/ the right person (Peter?) to help get an appraisal kicked off. Thanks again!
