Box 1150 Port Angeles, W A 98362 Re: Appraisal of Rayonier Properties, Port Angeles Dear Mr. Kenworthy: I have reviewed your letter of August 11, 2004 and wish to respond to your RFP. The delay in returning this response is due to my being on vacation earlier this month. We would provide a valuation of the land only for a fee of $12,900 which would be completed within 60 days. Our methodology would be to value the property without a deduction of the contamination and archeological factors, then we would consider the property as usable for surface use only in consideration of the contamination and archeological effects. Included as a part of our valuation would be consultation with Dennis O'Neill of Kleinfelder, an engineering firm that specializes in contamination of intertidal, upland, and-near shore environments.
