f) Comments and Suggestions on the Terms of Reference
We have exhaustively reviewed the contents of the Terms of Reference. The TOR is clear
and concise and covers important tasks to achieve the overall objective of the study.
While confirming the clarity and detail on the description of services required, time of
deliverables, we have to expresses concern about a number of areas important to
ensuring the quality of the final output.
 Beyond what was described in the TOR, to ensure data quality; we found it
necessary to make GIS specialists three in number , i.e one GIS specialist per city
so that they will work hand in hand with Quantity Surveyors. Moreover we felt
necessary to add an experienced Technical Manger to manage the whole process
and report to the client regularly.
g) Comments and Suggestions on the Staff and Facilities to be

Provided by the Public Body
From our experience during the various assessments we conducted with our clients
efficient utilization of time and resources depends on the administrative efficiency from
the client’s side. We expect that
 The client should announce to all stakeholders (Regions and Cities) the coming
of the team and what kind of support the team requires.
 To facilitate the communication between the client and the consultant we
suggest the client assign one staff each at the 3 cities and one focal person at
Federal (MoUDH, URFP office) level for this work for the whole duration of the
assignment.
 In addition of documents related to urban revenue reform project we expect
that the client will provide the consultants with imaging tools , which include
the following:
• Current high-resolution street-view images (at a sub-inch pixel resolution
that enables quality grade and physical condition to be verified)
• Orthophoto images (minimum 6” pixel resolution in urban/suburban
areas, updated recently.
• Low level oblique images capable of being used for measurement
verification (four cardinal directions, minimum 6-inch pixel resolution in
urban/suburban areas,

To:
A. Technical Approach and Methodology

1. Our Understanding of the Consultancy Requirements
3.1.1 1.1 Background of the Consultancy Requirements
Ethiopia is the second most populous African country (with over 90 million people) and
the seventh largest economy, US$ 130 Billion (Africa Development Indicators, World
Bank 2015/16)1. The Ethiopian Government’s vision is to reach middle-income status
with an estimated gross national income per capita of US$1,560 by 2025.
Although Ethiopia is under-urbanized, even by African standards, the recent growth

attracts the attention of government and development partners. Urban growth in
Ethiopia has been running between 4-5 percent per annum. It is also projected that, by
the year 2025, the urban population constitutes 30% of the total population of Ethiopia
and by 2030 about 35% of Ethiopia population will be living in Urban areas..
Urbanization without the necessary precondition but simply by population explosion

can create unintended impacts, as has been the case in many African and developing
countries cities. The World Resources (1996–97)2 report shows that, in developing
countries, urban areas often have huge populations living in poverty and their problems
are similar to those of the rural poor—lack of access to clean water, sanitation, and
adequate housing—compounded by overcrowding and exposure to industrial wastes
and urban air pollution. On the other hand, the study (urban profiling) conducted by
UN-HABITAT (2008)3 articulated that -low economic activity, a growing population,

inadequate infrastructure, and hap-hazard upgrading has over the last 40 years rendered
Ethiopian cities unable to provide facilities and services for their inhabitants.
In response to the various formidable challenges facing urban areas of Ethiopia, the
government of Ethiopia has been exerting efforts to address the deep rooted problems
of cities. Recently MUDH has formulated Ethiopian Cities Sustainable Prosperity Goals
(ECSPG), under the vision of “Creating Green, Resilient and Well Governed Livable
Cities”.
To realize this vision, a huge resource is required for substantial investments in urban
infrastructure, facilities and services. The sources of revenue for city governments
generally consist of (i) intergovernmental transfers from a higher level of government
(central and/or state) and (ii) own-source revenues derived from taxes and user fees,
revenues from investment income, property sales, and licenses and permits. But as
cities mainly really of inter-governmental transfer and own sources revenue from land
lease these was found to be inadequate or substantial investments in urban
infrastructure, facilities and services. To address resources constraints Ethiopia cities
need to effectively generate and use their own revenues. To facilitate urban local
government revenue reform, Urban Revenue Reform Project office was established in
2012, and the office has executed different revenue reform activities. One of the major
activities of the project office was formulation of policy framework and drafting of
legislation for urban property fee, and valuation survey of common properties. Now the
office need valuation of special and unique properties in the three cities (Mekele,
BahirDar, and DireDawa)
3.1.2 1.2 Objective and Scope of the Service

9. Come up with an intervention strategy of the study.
2. Definitions and Concepts of Property and Property Valuation
3.1.3 2.1 Definitions and Concepts of Property
Property is a legal concept. According the International Valuation Standards

Committee (IVSC, 2003), it encompasses all the interests, rights and benefits related to
ownership. Property consists of the rights of ownership, which entitle the owner to a
specific interest or interests in what is owned. IVSC recognize the following four
property types: real property, personal property, business and financial interests.
IVS emphasized that the word ‘property’, when used without further qualification or
identification, may refer to real property, personal property, or other types of property
such as businesses and financial interests, or a combination thereof (IVS 2003).
Real estate is defined as the physical land and those human-made items, which attach to
the land. It is the physical, tangible “thing” which can be seen and touched, together
with all additions on, above, or below the ground.
To distinguish between real estate, which is a physical entity, and its ownership, which
is a legal concept, the ownership of real estate is called real property (IVS 2003). The
combination of rights associated with the ownership of real property is, in some States,
referred to as the bundle of rights. The bundle of-rights concept likens property
ownership to a bundle of sticks with each stick representing a distinct and separate
right of the property owner, e.g., the right to use, to sell, to lease, to give away, or to
choose to exercise all or none of these rights.
On the other hand it is important to note the different types of real property. According
to the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO, 2013), there are at least
five types of real properties. These include;
a. Single-Family Residential Property

b. Multifamily Residential Property
c. Commercial and Industrial Property

d. Agricultural Property, and
e. Special-Purpose (Special Use) Property
The special purpose (special use) property, which is the focus of this work, is defined as
a property that is rarely, if ever, sold in the market except by way of a sale of the
business or entity of which it is part (called the business in occupation), due to
uniqueness arising from its specialized nature and design, its configuration, size,
location, or otherwise.
According to the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC, 2003), examples

of specialized properties include refiners, power stations, docks, specialized
manufacturing facilities, public facilities, churches, museums, and properties located
particular geographical locations for operational or business reasons. Such properties or
assets may also be referred to as limited or non-market assets.
3.1.4 2.2 Definitions and Concept of Value and Property Valuation
Value is an economic concept referring to the price most likely to be concluded by the
buyers and sellers of a good or service that is available for purchase. Value is not a fact,
but an estimate of the likely price to be paid for goods and services at a given time in
accordance with a particular definition of value. The economic concept of value reflects
a market’s view of the benefits that accrue to one who owns the goods or receives the
services as of the effective date of valuation. Value is therefore a hypothetical price, and
the hypothesis on which the value is estimated is determined by the valuation basis
adopted. A Basis of Value is defined in IVS 2 as a statement of the fundamental
measurement principles of a valuation on a specified date. A Basis of Value defines the
nature of the hypothetical transaction, e.g., whether or not there is exposure to a market,
and the assumed motivation and behavior of the parties
The value concept contemplates a monetary sum associated with a transaction.

However, sale of the property valued is not a condition requisite to estimating the price
for which property should sell if it were sold on the date of valuation under conditions
prescribed in the definition of Market Value. The Market Value of real estate is a
representation of its market-recognized utility rather than its purely physical status. The
utility of assets to a given entity or individual may differ from that which would be
recognized by the market or by a particular industry.
Property valuation is defined by Marston [1970] as, “the art of estimating the fair
monetary measure of the desirability of ownership of specific properties for specific
purpose”. He furthers refines the definition in terms of engineering valuation as,
“…engineering valuation is the art of estimating the value of specific properties where
professional engineering knowledge and judgment are essential based, fundamentally,

upon [the asset’s]ability to produce some kind of useful service during its expected
future life in service....”
Within these definitions are several important points.
First, the process of valuation is an estimation of monetary value using engineering

judgment and knowledge. In engineering, estimation is a common practice that
indicates computation of some quantity, whose magnitude cannot be exactly
determined, usually because of a lack of real data and/or the reality that the data is
better represented as a statistical range of values. The estimate, therefore, is a close
representation of the true magnitude based upon values selected with engineering
judgment and knowledge of the asset being valued.
Second, a measure of desirability is required, that is, the property must provide value to
someone or something and that value is relative depending upon the desirability of
ownership and productivity of the property. For example, buildings in an area to be
flooded out will only have scrap value unless someone invests in moving them to a new
site where they can continue to be used for their original purpose.
Third the property value is tied to useful service during an expected life which requires
an understanding of the historical and future performance of the property. Properties
that are reaching the end of their expected service life and/or a threshold level of
service have a reduced value to the owner which can be expressed as a reduced value or
as an increased liability. Reduced value is an indication of the loss of past investment as
the service life is consumed: increased liability is an indication of the future expense
that will be incurred to return the asset to a higher condition and to regain service life.
Fundamentally, property valuation is governed by the way specific property is used

and/or how it would ordinarily be traded in the market. For some property, optimum
utility is achieved if the property in question is operated on an individual basis. Other
property has greater utility if operated as part of a group of properties, e.g., properties
owned and managed by a business entity such as a chain of multiple retail outlets, fast
food restaurants, or hotels. Therefore, a distinction must be made between a property’s
utility viewed individually and when considered as a part of a group. A Valuer will
regard the property as the market views it, whether as a discrete entity or as part of an
aggregate or portfolio. Typically, the Valuer estimates and reports the value of the
property as an individual entity. If the value of the property, taken as part of an
aggregate or portfolio, is other than its individual value, such value should be
considered and reported.
It has to be noted that there are cases where an individual property may possess an
additional, or special, value above its value as a separate entity by reason of its physical
or functional association with an adjoining property owned by others or its

attractiveness to a purchaser with other special interests. The extent or amount of such
additional, or special, value is generally reported separately from Market Value.
3. Valuation Approaches and Methods
A valuation approach or method refers to generally accepted analytical methodologies

that are in common use. In order to estimate the price implied by the appropriate Basis
of Value, a number literatures suggests three types market based valuation approaches
or methods.
Market based valuations normally employ one or more of the valuation approaches by
applying the economic principle of substitution, using market derived data. This
principle holds that a prudent person would not pay more for a good or service than
the cost of acquiring an equally satisfactory substitute good or service, in the absence of
the complicating factors of time, greater risk, or inconvenience. The lowest cost of the
best
Sales Comparison Approach. This approach considers the sales of similar or substitute
properties and related market data, and establishes a value estimate by processes
involving comparison. In general, a property being valued (a subject property) is
compared with sales of similar properties that have been transacted in the market
(IVSC, 2003). Listings and offerings may also be considered.
The sales comparison approach estimates the value of a subject property by statistically
analyzing the sale prices of similar properties. This approach is usually the preferred
approach for estimating values for residential and other property types with adequate
sales. But it can be problematic if the selected comparables are not well validated or
representative of market value. Because they predict market value directly, direct
market models depend more heavily on careful model specification and calibration.
(IAAO 2013),
Income Capitalization (Yield) Approach. This approach considers income and expense
data relating to the property being valued and estimates value through a capitalization
process. Capitalization relates income (usually a net income figure) and a defined value
type by converting an income amount into a value estimate. This process may consider
direct relationships (known as capitalization rates), yield or discount rates (reflecting

measures of return on investment), or both. In general, the principle of substitution
holds that the income stream which produces the highest return commensurate with a
given level of risk leads to the most probable value figure.
According to the standards defined by International Association of Assessing Officers,

the income approach is, in general, the preferred valuation approach for income-
producing properties, when reliable income and expense data are available, along with
well-supported income multipliers, overall rates, and required rates of return on
investment. Successful application of the income approach requires the collection,
maintenance, and careful analysis of income and expense data (IAAO 2013),
Cost Approach. According to IVSC, this approach considers the possibility that, as an
alternative to the purchase of a given property, one could acquire a modern equivalent
asset that would provide equal utility. In a real estate context, this would involve the
cost of acquiring equivalent land and constructing an equivalent new structure. Unless
undue time, inconvenience, and risk are involved, the price that a buyer would pay for
the asset being valued would not be more than the cost of the modern equivalent. Often
the asset being valued will be less attractive than the cost of the modern equivalent
because of age or obsolescence. A depreciation adjustment is required to the
replacement cost to reflect this (IVSC, 2003).
According to the standards issued by IAAO (2013), the cost approach is applicable to
virtually all improved parcels and, if used properly, can produce accurate valuations.
The cost approach is more reliable for newer structures of standard materials, design,
and workmanship. It produces an estimate of the value of the fee simple interest in a
property.
Therefore, given the focus of this work, which is valuation of unique and specialized
properties, and according to the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC,
2003), the depreciated replacement cost (DRC) method will be used in the valuation of
special and unique properties. Depreciated replacement cost (DRC) is an acceptable
method used to arrive at a surrogate for the Market Value of specialized properties.
The method is commonly applied in a valuation situation involving a property for
which there are no readily available or otherwise dependable market data to analyze in
developing a Market value estimate (IVSC, 2003)

4. Steps of Property Valuation
The accuracy of values depends first and foremost on the completeness and accuracy
of property characteristics and market data. These data must also be accurately and
consistently collected and property characteristics data must be georeferenced using
GIS.
Given the ToR and the nature of the real property, we adopted 9 steps for the valuation
of the special and unique properties found in the three cities. These include:
 Step 1: Defining the special and unique properties Categories and Sub-Categories.
 Step 2: Building the Property Inventory Templates.
 Step 3: Inventory of Properties and Mapping out its location using GIS.
 Step 4: Assessment of the Condition of the special and unique properties.
 Step 5: Collect data from the market to support and/or explain the valuation process
 Step 6: Develop land value estimates from market information.
 Step 7: Cost and Value the identified special and unique properties and its deficit
(accumulated depreciation).
 Step 8: Develop logical attributes and models for the valuation of similar properties in
the cities and other similar cities.
 Step 9: Documentation: Developing Operating manual for Unique and special
properties and intervention strategy as outcome of the study.

5. Data Collection Methods
Uniform and accurate valuation of property requires correct, complete, and up-to-date
property data. The consultant will establish effective procedures for collecting and
maintaining property data (i.e., property ownership, location, size, use, physical
characteristics, sales price, rents, costs, and operating expenses). Such data are also
useful for defence of appeals, public relations, and management information.
The stakeholders, including property owners/ occupiers will be involved throughout

the study process to let them own the process, purpose and outcome of the study. The
active participation of stakeholders will also help to identify their interests, capacities
and readiness to take-up the project interventions as well as capacity building
interventions required to raise their capacity.
The consultant will follow the following procedures for collecting these data.
5.1 Review Secondary Data
The consultant will review various secondary data with primary focus on five issues
(1) Review of Institutional and Legal frameworks (policies, laws, regulations,

procedures and systems, etc.) with regards to the urban special and
unique real property market and in property valuation
(2) Assessment of system in Use for identification, mapping and valuation
process of special and unique properties
(3) Review City Maps, Cadastres and Previous Works such as the 2016 city
map prepared for integrated land holding file management and the 2016
common properties survey data base by the project office
(4) Review of the organizational structure and staff capacities (at federal,
regional, city administration and private sector, etc.) involved in the urban
special and unique real property market and in property valuation.
(5) Identify the underlining factors that play a signification role for the
identification, categorization and valuation of existing special and unique
properties.

5.2 Collecting Primary Data of the Properties
In order to generate the required information for the study the Consultant will collect
and make use of primary data collection and analysis methods complimented by
secondary data.
There will be five types (sets) of data to be collected by the consultant
5.2.1 Geographic Data
Maps become especially valuable in the property appraisal process when a geographic
information system (GIS) is used.
The consultant will undertake inventory of special and unique properties using GIS
(geographic information system) and cadastral maps or parcel boundary maps or land
use /property ownership maps, as available, covering the entire jurisdiction of the city
under the study, with a unique identification number for each parcel.
Using GIS and cadastral maps the assessing officers will identify and locate all parcels,
both in the field and in the office. A GIS permits graphic displays of sale prices, assessed
values, inspection dates, work assignments, land uses, and much more, which is very
useful for property Valuation.
5.2.2 Property Characteristics Data
The consultant will collect and maintain property characteristics data sufficient for
classification, valuation, and other purposes. Accurate valuation of real property by any
method requires descriptions of land and building characteristics.
Property characteristics that will be collected and maintained are based on the
following key factors and requirements:
• Factors that influence the market in the locale in question
• Requirements of the valuation methods that will be employed
• Requirements of classification and property tax policy
• Requirements of other governmental and private users

• Marginal benefits and costs of collecting and maintaining each property
characteristic
Determining what data to collect and maintain on property characteristics for a

property appraisal/ valuation is very crucial decision with long-term consequences.
Collecting data that are of little importance in the assessment process will be avoided
unless another governmental or private need is clearly demonstrated during the
inception.
The following property characteristics are usually important in predicting property

values and will be part of the important data to be collected:
Improvement Data
• Type of area (Residential, Commercial, Industry, etc.)
• Construction quality or key components thereof (foundation, exterior wall type,
and the like)
• Effective age or condition
• Building design or style
• Building area including basements, garages, covered porches, and balconies
• Building features such as bathrooms and central air-conditioning
Land Data
• Lot size
• Available utilities (sewer, water, electricity)
Location Data
• Market area
• Submarket area or neighborhood
• Site amenities, especially view and golf course or water frontage
•External nuisances, (e.g., heavy traffic, airport noise, or proximity to
commercial uses).
5.2.3 Sales Data
Sales data are required in the development of land values and market-based
depreciation schedules in the cost approach. Depending on the Regional States laws
and Urban Local Government Regulations with regards to disclosure sales data, a file of
sales data will be properly reviewed and validated. Moreover, sales data will be
collected through Key informant interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), as
necessary.

5.2.4 Income and Expense Data
Income (rent or otherwise) and expense data will be collected for income-producing
property and reviewed by senior expert together with key stakeholders to ensure their
accuracy and usability for valuation analysis.
5.2.5 Cost and Depreciation Data
Reliable cost data are imperative in any successful application of the cost approach.
Current cost and depreciation data adjusted to the local market are required for the cost
approach. Cost and depreciation manuals of MoUDH will be adapted or new manual
will be developed by the consultant in consultation with the client to come up with
reliable cost and depreciation data. Current construction costs will be based on the cost
of replacing a structure with one of equal utility, using current materials, design, and
building standards. The data must be complete, typical, and current.
5.3 Data collection procedures and Quality Control
Collecting property data is a critical and expensive phase of appraisal. A successful data
collection program requires clear and standard coding and careful monitoring through
a quality control program. Therefore we will develop and use data collection manual to
achieve accurate and consistent data collection. We will follow data collection program
that will result in complete and accurate data.
5.3.1 Data Collection Manuals
A clear, thorough, and precise data collection manual is essential and will be developed,
updated, and maintained. The written manual will explain how to collect and record
each data item. Pictures, examples, and illustrations are particularly helpful. The
manual will be simple yet complete. Data collection staff as well as counterpart staff
will be trained in the use of the manual and related updates to maintain consistency.
The manual will include guidelines for personal conduct (ethical standards) during
field inspections, and, when interior data are required, the manual will outline
procedures to be followed as well as when the property owner has denied access or
when entry might be risky.

5.3.2 Data Collection Format
Data will be collected in a prescribed format designed to facilitate both the collecting of
data in the field and the entry of the data into the computer system.
A logical arrangement of the collection format makes data collection easier. For
example, all items requiring an interior inspection will be grouped together. The coding
of data will be as objective as possible, with measurements, counts, and check-off items
used in preference to items requiring subjective evaluations (such as “number of
fixtures” versus “adequacy: poor, average, good”). With respect to check-off items, the
available codes will be exhaustive and mutually exclusive, so that exactly one code
logically pertains to each observable variation of a building feature (such as structure or
roof type). The data collection format will promote consistency among data collectors,
be clear and easy to use, and be adaptable to virtually all types of construction.
Specialized data collection formats may be developed to collect information on the
unique properties.
5.3.3 Initial Data Collection and Entry
A physical inspection is necessary to obtain initial property characteristics data. The

inspection will be performed both by senior expert as well as specially trained data
collectors. In a joint approach, the senior expert make key subjective decisions, such as
the assignment of construction quality class or grade, and data collectors gather all
other details. Depending on the data required, an interior inspection might be carried
out. At a minimum, a comprehensive exterior inspection will be conducted.
To avoid duplication of effort, the data collection form will be able to serve as the data
entry form, as we are using CADC (Computer assisted data collection), by high capacity
GPS mounted Tablets. Data entry will be routinely (daily) reviewed by team leader and
senior experts to ensure accuracy.
5.3.4 Data Accuracy Standards
As recommended by International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO, 2013) the

following standards of accuracy for data collection will be applied by the consultant.
• Continuous or area measurement data, such as living area and exterior wall
height, will be accurate within 1 meter (rounded to the nearest meter) of the
true dimensions or within 5 percent of the area. For estimation of areas,
dimensions, or volumes, the property record will note the instances in which
quantities are estimated.

• For each objective, categorical, or binary data field to be collected or verified, at
least 95 percent of the coded entries should be accurate. Objective, categorical,
or binary data characteristics include such attributes as exterior wall material,
number of full bathrooms, and waterfront view.
• For each subjective categorical data field collected or verified, data will be coded
correctly at least 90 percent of the time. Subjective categorical data characteristics
include data items such as quality grade, physical condition, and architectural
style.
5.3.5 Data Quality Control
A quality control program is necessary to ensure that data accuracy standards are
achieved and maintained. Independent quality control inspections will occur
immediately after the data collection phase begins and will be performed by senior
staff, the team leader and the management of Soberland International and PACE
Consulting Architects and Engineers. The inspections should review random samples
of finished work for completeness and accuracy and keep tabulations of items coded
correctly or incorrectly, so that statistical tests can be used to determine whether
accuracy standards have been achieved. Stratification by geographic (plots) area,
property type, or individual data collector can help detect patterns of data error. Data
that fail to meet quality control standards will be re-collected.
Data entry accuracy should be as close to 100 percent as possible, and will be supported
by a full set of range and consistency edits. There will be error or warning messages
generated in response to invalid or unusual data items. Examples of data errors include
missing data codes and invalid characters. Warning messages should also be generated
when data values exceed normal ranges established for this purpose. The warnings will
appear as the data are entered. When feasible, action on the warnings will take place
during data entry. Field data entry devices, tablets, provide the ability to edit data as it
is entered and also eliminate data transcription errors.
The accuracy of subjective data will be judged primarily by conformity with written
specifications and examples in the data collection manual. The data reviewer will
substantiate subjective data corrections with pictures or field notes.
6. Valuation/ Appraisal of Special and Unique Properties
Property appraisal/ valuation analysis begins with assigning properties to categories or

strata based on highest and best use, which normally equates to current use. Some

countries require that property be valued for ‘ad valorem tax’ purposes at current use
regardless of highest and best use. Zoning and other land use controls normally dictate
highest and best use of vacant land. In the absence of such restrictions, the assessor
must determine the highest and best use of the land by analyzing the four
components—legally permissible, physically possible, appropriately supported, and
financially feasible— thereby resulting in the highest value.
In our case, the valuation will be based on critical consideration of the evidence from
analyses and experience based judgment. Limitation of the analysis approaches and
data used for the valuation will be accurately recorded and included in the valuation
report, together with other qualification on the valuation figure. The current cost to
construct the improvements will be collected from cost estimators, cost manuals,
builders and contractors.
As depreciated replacement cost (DRC) method will be used in the valuation of special
and unique properties, three different types of depreciation (physical deterioration, functional
obsolescence and external obsolescence) will be assed and measured though market research
and the application of specific procedures.
Land value is estimated separately in the cost approach
6.1 Developing Valuation Models for special properties
Any property appraisal, whether single-property appraisal or mass appraisal, uses a

model, that is, a representation in words or an equation of the relationship between
value and variables representing factors of supply and demand. Mass appraisal models
attempt to represent the market for a specific type of property in a specified area. The
consultant will firstly specify the model, i.e., identify the supply and demand factors
and property features that influence value (for example property ownership, location,
size, use, physical characteristics of the property, etc)
Then, the consultant will calibrate the model, that is, determine the adjustments or
coefficients that best represent the value contribution of the value determinant factors
or variables.
As indicated in the previous section, the cost approach is the most appropriate in the
appraisal of special-purpose properties, because of the distinctive nature of such
properties and the general absence of adequate sales or income data. Therefore, careful
and extensive market analysis will be carried out for both specification and calibration
of a model that estimates values accurately.

Valuation models will be developed for defined category of properties (sub-groups).
For example G+x, G+y, etc. sub g-roups, Mixed use building sub-group, star Hotels
sub-group, etc,. In general, separate models will be developed for apartment,
warehouse/ industrial, office, and retail properties. For some properties, geographic
stratification will be done, as appropriate, when the value of property attributes varies
significantly among areas.
6.2 Itemized Valuation for unique properties
Special attention is required for unique properties. For unique property the valuation
will be conducted in itemized way /individual property level/ not based on formulas.
The valuation roll of each property will include not only the final value of the property,
but also, how the valuation was conducted, and description of the value determinant
factors for each specific property. The value and its description will be incorporated into
the maps as one layer of the special and unique properties identified and valued in each
of the three cities.
6.3 Land Valuation
The Federal and Regional State laws require the value of an improved parcel to be
separated into land and improvement components. When the sales comparison or
income approach is used, although it will be in rare case for special and unique
properties, an independent estimate of land value will be made and subtracted from the
total property value to obtain a residual improvement value.
The sales comparison approach is the primary approach to land valuation and is always
preferred when sufficient sales are available. But, in the absence of adequate sales, for
special and unique properties, other techniques that can be used in land appraisal
include allocation, abstraction, anticipated use, capitalization of ground rents, and land
residual capitalization.
The consultant will, possibly, use computerized valuation techniques that provide a
separation of total value into land and building components.
7. Documentation and Capacity Building
As part of the identification, Mapping and Valuation of special and unique properties
the consultant will produce a number of documents, maps and manuals. These include

a) Inception report (with elaborated proposed methodology, data Collection
Instruments/tools, description of capacity building initiatives, etc.)
b) Data collection manual, which is essential to explain how to collect and record each
data item. The written manual will be developed, updated, and maintained as we
progress and for the future use by the client.
c) Report of the ‘Situation Assessment and Mapping of Special & Unique Properties’
d) Detailed report of the ‘Valuation of Special & Unique Properties’ and
recommendations
e) Operation manual and implementation strategy for mapping and valuation of Special
and Unique properties to enable the client and counterparts to carry out similar work
in the future and enhance a smooth implementation of the proposed change
f) Monitoring and evaluation guideline (that outlines objectives, activities, inputs,
outputs, outcomes and objectively verifiable SMART indicators of achievement), for
monitoring and reporting on progress of implementation
As part of capacity building the consultant will design and deliver training to the
project office, steering committee, counterparts in the 3 cities as well as any party
appointed to carry out the task. The training will be designed to realize the
objective of building the capacity of implementing institutions to carry out similar
work in the future and to implement the project.

B. Work Plan

Once awarded this consultancy service, to undertake Identification, Mapping and
Valuation of Special and Unique Properties for the 3 Cites, Soberland International and
PACE will first mobilize the proposed professionals and issue contract of employment
for the service.
To ensure equal understanding among the assessment team (AT) and to keep the
uniformities across the cities, we will start the assignment by discussing the purpose
and procedures of Identification, Mapping and Valuation of Special and Unique
Properties.
The main discussion points will be
1 The objectives of Urban Revenue Reform Project, the content of the TOR for
Identification, Mapping and Valuation of Special and Unique Properties;
2 Duties and responsibilities of each member of assessment team,
3 Data collection techniques, including self-introduction and systematic evidence and

measurement check.
4 Ethical considerations during the assessment (the do’s and don’ts) as well as how to
approach property owners/ occupiers with difficult behaviors.
5 Content of the on-site report and exit debriefing and getting the consent of the city
officials.
Moreover, to enable the AT members to gain better understanding of the purpose,

content and procedures of Identification, Mapping and Valuation of Special and Unique
Properties; the whole team will attend the orientation to be given by MUDH, Urban
Revenue Reform Project office and other partners.

2 Collecting and Reviewing Documents available at Federal Level
Soberland and PACE Assessment Team (AT) will begin this assignment by collecting and
reviewing Documents (policy memorandum, proclamations, regulations, guidelines and other
legal and study documents) related to urban property valuation and taxation) available at
Federal Level (Ministry Urban Development and Housing (MUDH), Urban Revenue Reform
Project office and other partners like MoF and the World Bank as appropriate. Obtaining and
reviewing documents at Regional and City level, will be the first task of the AT when they
arrive at Cities.
3 Design of Data collection Instruments

In order to ensure all relevant and important information are collected the team will
begin development of data collection instruments (GIS based inventory templates,
tables, key informant interview guides, etc) based on the set of data to be collected
provided in the forthcoming inception report and the expectation of the Federal,
Regional and City Level stakeholders as well as discussions to be held with the relevant
staff at MUDH, Urban Revenue Reform Project office and other partners.
The data collection instruments will also be designed to facilitate objective data
collection and analysis. The data collection instruments will be very specific to
minimize subjective judgment. Soberland International and PACE assessment team
members will disaggregate the data variables that will be recorded as ‘Numerical Data’
OR as ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ OR as ‘Date’; based up on available evidences and observation in
person for each and every property to assessed.
The Data collection instruments will be submitted to the client and partners as part of
the inception report. Soberland International and PACE AT members will amend the
data collection instruments based on feedback and comments from the client and
partners.
4 Actual Field Work (Data Collection from ULGs and Onsite)

Before dispatching the AT members, the clients (Federal, Regional and the Cities) will
be informed of the coming of AT and arrangements will be made with Regional and
City officials to facilitate the data collection and conduct the interviews.
The data will be collected and key informant interview will be held using the pre-
designed data collection formats and interview guide. As indicated above data will be
gathered for each and every special and unique properties identified based on factors
that play significant role for identification, mapping and valuation process of special

and unique properties. The data collected and evidence provided has to be signed off
by property owners/ occupiers of the specific property and by the staff of the respective
offices of city administration for city wide data collected from government offices.
It has to be noted that all available evidences, for each and every property, will be
collected by way of photocopying and/or using a digital camera when necessary to
ensure all important data are properly documented and brought to Soberland
International HQ as evidence of the data collected and for further analysis and
valuation of the properties.
Once the data collection and key informant interview are completed, preliminary report
on the findings will be prepared following the format to be designed by Soberland
International and PACE for this purpose. Subsequently, the assessment will debrief the
City Administration leadership and staff in the presence of the Mayor or his designee.
The focus of the debriefing is ‘what is done or achieved during the data collection’ and
‘what is not done or evidence not available’ for the mapping and valuation of special
and unique properties.
There will be ‘Minutes of Meeting’, as per the Template to be developed, to capture

issues raised and discussed during the exit debriefing/ discussion with the city
administration as well as the regional BUDH.
5 Monitoring and Technical Backstopping

To ensure reliable data collection, Soberland International and PACE will develop and
enforce a system that encourages the professional staff to be rigorous in their work. To
ensure the rigor of data collection and professional analysis, the Senior Assessment
Team members, will regularly monitor the work of data collectors; and the Technical
Manager and the Team Leader will regularly monitor the work specialists through
regular communication. Each data collector will send completed data sheet to the
specialist every day and the specialst will send weekly progress and complete data set
to the team leader and technical manger every week by COB. The data collectors will,
on daily basis, also fill logbook prepared for this purpose, which detailed the name of
individual interviewed, property site visited and type of measurement taken and
evidences collected every day. Moreover, the senior specialist will visit and supervise
the data collection process at least once in a week. The Team Leader and the Technical
Manager will visit and supervise the data collection process at least 1 cities each per
week.

6 Data verification and generation of Valuation scores
Before generating valuation scores of the properties in each of the three cities, rigorous
data validity and consistency checks will be part of the data cleaning exercise. The data
brought from each city and each region will be checked for its consistency with the
evidence collected and remote sensing using GIS.
Once data validation and cleaning is completed, valuation scores of the city will be
generated using MS Excel or GIS or SPSS formula to be developed for this purpose by
Soberland International and PACE.
7 Reporting and Deliverables /Timetable Of Delivery

C. Organization and Staffing
The overall coordination of Identification, Mapping and Valuation of Special and Unique
Properties in Three Cities will be handled by the Technical Manager, Mr Mekonnen Wube,
specialized in Urban Planning and Housing & Standardization of Municipal Services. The
technical manager will handle overall supervision of the core teams and consolidation of data for
reporting to the client.
The team leader will be Mr. Mwanje Nassir, a highly experienced and Certified in Advanced
Real Estate Valuation. He will be in charge of the overall process and ensuring the technical
quality of the work (Identification, Mapping and Valuation of Special and Unique Properties).
The Technical Manager and the Team Leader will be joined by three senior quantity surveyors
who has hands on experience on Property/ Urban Infrastructure Asset valuation, and two senior
GIS experts and an Economist who work hand in hand with the Team Leader in developing
study frameworks and models for valuation. The whole team members will involve in the
development of data collection instruments and production of inception report, and to contribute
their part in writing the city level and consolidated narrative reports and manuals.
Mapping of Special and Unique Properties will be mainly handled by GIS experts. Calculation
of value of each and every unique property and generation of valuation score for special
properties, using the model and formula to be developed for this purpose, will be handled by the
Economist with the guidance from the Team Leader and input from other team members,
especially the quantity surveyors.
There will be three team for data collection–one each per city. The team will consist of five
team members each. The team consist at least BSc holder in Civil Engineering or Construction
having an experience in Quantity Surveying and collection of GIS, Sales and Construction Cost
data. Experienced staff will be assigned for each team to coordinate/lead the team during the
data collection process. The quality will be monitored by senior core assessment team (CAT)
members
The Core Assessment Team (CAT) will start in one of the nearby towns, where all CAT
members participate to do the data collection as a pilot. This will help to make all the
assessment team members to share how one has to do the assessment and record the data.
Once the assessment of the pilot city is completed there will be detailed discussions on the
procedures followed and challenges faced by each group in order to enable the team to be on
equal wave-length to conduct the assessment in similar procedures in all the 3 cities. After the
piloting the data collection the CAT will be dispatched to the assigned cites in parallel to do the
assessment.
