7	Property Acquisition Challenges from Varying Perspectives Legal Challenges Providing just compensation in a shortened time frame Project demands may/will dictate property acquisition schedule Need to assemble a property acquisition team Property acquisition needs can change on the fly Numerous regulatory and legal jurisdictions may be involved Difficult ownership situations/title to property Unforeseen encumbrances This presentation does not constitute legal advice by the presenter or the City of Lawrence, Kansas.
8	Engineering Challenges & Property Acquisition Unknowns – in the field, easements & encumbrances, topography Time constraints Property acquisition constraints Changes in project design as information is gathered – soil, geotechnical, encumbrances, access Policy constraints, policy decisions Engineering/Construction team can benefit from early involvement of property acquisition team What may look good to engineering team may not be the best option

10	Appraisal Challenges & Property Acquisition Hurry up and wait – owner wants you on board, but doesn’t know when – exactly Challenges with legal descriptions in a design build project Limited time to meet with property owners due to project time constraints Need to coordinate with all members of the design/build team Project could be awaiting your information Need for speed Get as much information ahead of time as you can Multiple types of takings may be required
11	Acquisition Challenges for the Owner Speed May be lacking precise legal descriptions Preliminary property needs – access for geotechnical work Waiting on design/build team for more precise takings Need to acquire as much property information as possible prior to having property needs in hand – ownership reports, best estimations of property needs Need to prioritize key property acquisitions Work closely with entire design build team from the beginning Shortened time frame for negotiations Need to have the support of governing body, legal team, design build team Communication is key Need to provide budget estimations for the project – can be difficult May need multiple appraisers on board
12	Lessons Learned Create a property acquisition team from the beginning – PAT, especially with large scale property acquisition needs Seek PAT involvement from the beginning Communicate – timeframes, property needs, deadlines Communicate property specific demands to the design/build team or negotiated deals Be realistic in deadlines Meet with effected property owners early on Frequent project team meetings PAT can provide key insights into design/build solutions
