ATTACHMENT A:
SCOPE OF SERVICES
CTH PD/Northern Lights Rd Real Estate Acquisition
City of Verona
MSA Professional Services, Inc. (MSA)
Project description: Beginning in summer or later of 2023, the City of Verona (City) is
planning to reconstruct a portion of the intersection of CTH PD and Northern Lights Road to
create a westbound free-flow movement (tunnel) from CTH PD to Northern Lights Road. The
project is anticipated to require acquisition of 5 Fee taking and/or TLE parcels. No total-take
parcels or relocations are anticipated. This Contract will include MSA performing acquisition
services for up to five Fee/TLE parcels from current owners: Hexagon, Mauer, City, Church, and
Nardi. The project is being designed by others and a plat developed by others.
At this time there are only concept plans available and no draft plat prepared. For base cost
estimating, the anticipated work effort at this time does not include utility releases, partial
releases of mortgage or other services, but these additional services can be added later through
contract amendment. It is assumed there are no off-premise signs to be coordinated.
No part of the project, including construction, includes any state or federal funds. Therefore it is
assumed no WisDOT or County or other state or federal agency oversight or involvement in the
acquisition part of the work. If WisDOT, Dane County, or other state or federal agency is
determined to have oversight or involvement in the acquisition part of the work, the coordination
of such would be extra services.
It is assumed that due to the relatively short timeframe to acquire, that appraisals will be used
for all parcels to be acquired, except the City of Verona parcel. It is assumed the city’s separate
appraisal company will supply a valuation based on the other appraisals, for use in donation
documents.
A. Project Schedule
Construction is planned to begin in summer or later 2023. The minimum Completion Date for
acquisition is normally 150 days after the start of the acquisition process depending on
negotiated settlement. Condemnation would require additional time.
April 1, 2023 is the target deadline for acquisition, assuming approved plat and filed Relocation
Order by October 1, 2022. The start of the acquisition process will begin after receiving the
signed agreement, and after receiving a copy of the final approved plat exhibit and the filed
relocation order, expected to be prior to October 1, 2022. Delay of required documents or
services by other parties, or additional services, including but not limited to: the filed Relocation
Order beyond October 1, 2022, difficult negotiations, mortgage releases, title clearance issues,
utility company delays, or condemnation, would potentially delay the acquisition deadline a
similar amount.

B. Real Estate Acquisition Scope of Services:
The Real Estate Acquisition Services will follow the Federal Uniform Relocation Act and
Wisconsin State Statutes. Due to 100% local funding, the process will not be required to follow
the WisDOT LPA R/E Manual requirements.
1. Review the Title Search Reports for the five parcels, supplied by the city (by others).
2. The city will provide a plat and legal descriptions for the five parcels (by others). The MS
Word descriptions will correlate to the plat. Legal descriptions are required for the
conveyance documents.
3. Prepare introduction letters to be approved by the City that will be mailed to the property
owners along with the Owner’s Rights brochure and information on the project, including:
a. Introducing the appraiser and expected timeline for staking and appraisal
(appraisal and staking by others)
b. Contact information for the MSA project negotiator
4. Determine Values. The land will be appraised by others, not part of this contract. The
city will provide the appraisals, by Compass Land Consultants Inc, to MSA.
a. MSA will review the appraisals and prepare the Appraisal Objective Reviews and
Offering Price Report document for review and approval by the City. The
procedures for approving the offers and payment will be coordinated with the
City.
b. Attend Meeting with City staff or Council to explain the offering price report and
appraisals, if requested by City. One meeting is estimated.
5. Negotiations
a. Create parcel files and the owner’s packet of documents concurrently with the
Appraisals and Offering Price Report being approved. The files will include the
Negotiation Diary, Offer Letter, conveyance document with legal description,
Statement to the Construction Engineer, and W-9 Form for acquisition exceeding
$600.
b. Send offer packages by Certified Mail to the landowners, soon after Appraisal
and Offering Price Report are approved.
c. Provide follow-up call to landowners to answer questions regarding the
information provided. One meeting will be scheduled with each Parcel owner as
requested to address concerns regarding the project. Meeting with landowners
are anticipated to be held locally in the Verona/Dane County area.
d. When a negotiated settlement has been reached, a payment request will be
provided to the City. MSA will distribute the check to the landowner. Prepare
negotiation diary to document coordination with the landowner.
e. Mail signed conveyance document to Dane County Register of Deeds with
request to invoice the City Engineering Department directly. If this is not possible,
MSA will invoice the City for this separate recording fee.
f. Regular updates will be provided to keep the City informed of the progress and
any negotiation issues.
g. If payment is greater than $600, the City will complete federal form 1099-S for
distribution.
h. This scope is based on obtaining a negotiated settlement.
i. If a negotiated settlement can’t be reached based on the appraisal, MSA can
then prepare the Jurisdictional Offer, Lis Pendens and Award of Damages for
signature and delivery by the City, as an extra service. We anticipate the City’s
Attorney will handle the condemnation proceeding after the Award of Damages.
6. Attend other meetings with City staff, if requested by City. Attendance at one meeting is
assumed in the base cost estimate.

7. Extra Services not included in scope of the base estimated costs:
a. Review owner’s 2nd appraisal, if any.
b. Services if a negotiated settlement can’t be reached.
c. Services related to preparing the Jurisdictional Offer, Lis Pendens and Award of
Damages for signature and delivery by the City.
d. No encroachments, utility release, or Partial Releases of Mortgage are included
in the base scope.
e. Difficult negotiations with any landowner requiring more than one meeting.
f. Update title search.
g. Should the right of way exhibit be revised and any changes made to the parcel
already acquired by MSA, or where significant progress has been made, the
parcel will be considered to be a new parcel and would be extra services. Right
of way exhibit changes have the potential to delay the acquisition delivery
schedule. The acquisition agents normally require a minimum of 120 days
between the time the offer is presented to the landowners and title is acquired, in
order to meet the project schedule.
8. Services Provided by client
a. Timely approvals of introduction letters, appraisals, offering price report, and
parcel payment with check are critical to keeping the project on schedule and
obtaining the parcel by the city’s desired acquisition date.
b. Property information including: contact and tax information.
c. File Relocation Order.
d. Prepare Federal 1099-S Form for fee parcel, if payment is greater than $600.

MSA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INC. (MSA)
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES (PUBLIC)
1. Scope and Fee. The quoted fees and scope of services constitute the best estimate of the fees and tasks required to perform the services as
defined. This agreement upon execution by both parties hereto, can be amended only by written instrument signed by both parties. For those projects
involving conceptual or process development service, activities often cannot be fully defined during initial planning. As the project progresses, facts
uncovered may reveal a change in direction which may alter the scope. MSA will promptly inform the OWNER in writing of such situations so that changes
in this agreement can be made as required. The OWNER agrees to clarify and define project requirements and to provide such legal, accounting and
insurance counseling services as may be required for the project
2. Billing. MSA will bill the OWNER monthly with net payment due upon receipt. Past due balances shall be subject to an interest charge at a
rate of 12% per year from said thirtieth day. In addition, MSA may, after giving seven days written notice, suspend service under any agreement until the
OWNER has paid in full all amounts due for services rendered and expenses incurred, including the interest charge on past due invoices.
3. Costs and Schedules. Costs and schedule commitments shall be subject to change for delays caused by the OWNER's failure to provide
specified facilities or information or for delays caused by unpredictable occurrences including, without limitation, fires, floods, riots, strikes, unavailability
of labor or materials, delays or defaults, by suppliers of materials or services, process shutdowns, acts of God or the public enemy, or acts of regulations
of any governmental agency. Temporary delays of services caused by any of the above which result in additional costs beyond those outlined may require
renegotiation of this agreement.
4. Access to Site. Owner shall furnish right-of-entry on the project site for MSA and, if the site is not owned by Owner, warrants that permission
has been granted to make planned explorations pursuant to the scope of services. MSA will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the site
from use of equipment, but has not included costs for restoration of damage that may result and shall not be responsible for such costs.
5. Location of Utilities. Consultant shall use reasonable means to identify the location of buried utilities in the areas of subsurface exploration
and shall take reasonable precautions to avoid any damage to the utilities noted. However, Owner agrees to indemnify and defend Consultant in the event
of damage or injury arising from damage to or interference with subsurface structures or utilities which result from inaccuracies in information of instructions
which have been furnished to Consultant by others.
6. Professional Representative. MSA intends to serve as the OWNER’s professional representative for those services as defined in this
agreement, and to provide advice and consultation to the OWNER as a professional. Any opinions of probable project costs, reviews and observations,
and other decisions made by MSA for the OWNER are rendered on the basis of experience and qualifications and represents the professional judgment
of MSA. However, MSA cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bid or actual project or construction costs will not vary from the opinion of probable
cost prepared by it.
7. Construction. This agreement shall not be construed as giving MSA, the responsibility or authority to direct or supervise construction means,
methods, techniques, sequence, or procedures of construction selected by the contractors or subcontractors or the safety precautions and programs
incident to the work of the contractors or subcontractors.
8. Standard of Care. In conducting the services, MSA will apply present professional, engineering and/or scientific judgment, and use a level of
effort consistent with current professional standards in the same or similar locality under similar circumstances in performing the Services. The OWNER
acknowledges that "current professional standards" shall mean the standard for professional services, measured as of the time those services are
rendered, and not according to later standards, if such later standards purport to impose a higher degree of care upon MSA.
MSA does not make any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, nor have any agreement or contract for services subject to the provisions of
any uniform commercial code. Similarly, MSA will not accept those terms and conditions offered by the OWNER in its purchase order, requisition, or
notice of authorization to proceed, except as set forth herein or expressly agreed to in writing. Written acknowledgement of receipt, or the actual
performance of services subsequent to receipt of such purchase order, requisition, or notice of authorization to proceed is specifically deemed not to
constitute acceptance of any terms or conditions contrary to those set forth herein.
9. Construction Site Visits. MSA shall make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction as MSA deems
necessary in order to observe, as an experienced and qualified design professional, the progress and quality of the various aspects of Contractor's work.
The purpose of MSA's visits to, and representation at the site, will be to enable MSA to better carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to
and undertaken by MSA during the Construction Phase, and in addition, by the exercise of MSA's efforts as an experienced and qualified design
professional, to provide for OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of Contractor will conform in general to the Contract
Documents and that the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents has been
implemented and preserved by Contractor. On the other hand, MSA shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work
in progress, supervise, direct or have control over Contractor's work nor shall MSA have authority over or responsibility for the means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and programs incident to the work of Contractor or for any failure
of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work.
Accordingly, MSA neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to furnish and perform its
work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall commence upon execution and shall remain in effect until terminated by either party, at such party's
discretion, on not less than thirty (30) days' advance written notice. The effective date of the termination is the thirtieth day after the non-terminating party's
receipt of the notice of termination. If MSA terminates the Agreement, the OWNER may, at its option, extend the terms of this Agreement to the extent
necessary for MSA to complete any services that were ordered prior to the effective date of termination. If OWNER terminates this Agreement, OWNER
shall pay MSA for all services performed prior to MSA's receipt of the notice of termination and for all work performed and/or expenses incurred by MSA
in terminating Services begun after MSA's receipt of the termination notice. Termination hereunder shall operate to discharge only those obligations which
are executory by either party on and after the effective date of termination. These General Terms and Conditions shall survive the completion of the
services performed hereunder or the Termination of this Agreement for any cause.
This agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. No waiver of compliance with any provision or condition hereof should be effective unless
agreed in writing and duly executed by the parties hereto.
11. Betterment. If, due to MSA’s error, any required or necessary item or component of the project is omitted from the construction documents,
MSA’s liability shall be limited to the reasonable costs of correction of the construction, less what OWNER’S cost of including the omitted item or component
in the original construction would have been had the item or component not been omitted. It is intended by this provision that MSA will not be responsible
for any cost or expense that provides betterment, upgrade, or enhancement of the project.
