I. SCOPE OF SERVICES. The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified firms to appraise annually each of PRIM s properties, summarized in Exhibit A, for the next three years (2016 to 2018). In addition, the firm selected will also appraise any new properties that are purchased by PRIM within the contract period. The current appraisal schedule requires that approximately 25% of the portfolio (~25 properties) is valued each quarter. For each property, the initial appraisal is a Full Narrative Appraisal. The next two annual valuations will be updates to the Full Narrative Appraisal. The appraisals will be utilized in recording the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of these properties, and will be reported in PRIM s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Market value for this assignment is defined as the most probable price in cash, terms equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms, for which the appraised property will sell in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self-interest, and assuming that neither is under duress. Fundamental assumptions and conditions presumed in this definition are: 1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated. 2. Buyer and seller are well-informed and are acting prudently. 3. The property is exposed for a reasonable time on the open market. 4. Payment is made in cash, its equivalent, or in specified financing terms. 5. The effect, if any, on the amount of market value of typical services or fees shall be clearly and precisely revealed in the appraisal report, immediately following the statement of value conclusion, in the letter of transmittal and the certificate of value. In valuing a typical service or fee, the appraiser shall compare the value to the current owner that a typical buyer would not be able to realize. The leased fee interest will be defined as the right to receive rent for a period of years under a lease with the ultimate reposition of the fee simple interest in the property upon lease termination. It is also identified as the owner's or lessor's interest. With this preface in mind, the proposing firm should appraise the subject properties by utilizing the three most common methods of analysis: cost, market, and income. The appraisal will be narrative in nature and include the following sections: Letter of Transmittal Summary of Salient Facts Purpose of Appraisal History of the Property Property Identification Legal Description Value Definition 4

Definition of Rights Appraised Effective Date of Appraisal Date of Inspection Regional/City/Neighborhood Data Including Construction and Absorption Trends Site Analysis Description of Improvements Zoning Highest and Best Use Valuation Process: Cost Approach, Market Approach, Income Approach Reconciliation and Final Value Estimate Insurable Value Discussion and reconciliation of changes in value from the last appraisal (or purchase price) Projected Marketing Time Frame Statement of Limited Conditions Certification and Qualification of Appraiser Environmental Checklist Addendum/Exhibits With the cost approach, the proposing firm will analyze at least three comparable land sales in determining the underlying land value of the subject property. Replacement cost will be estimated and depreciation taken based on the current edition of Marshall Valuation Service or similar service, combined with observed conditions at the subject property. If the property is recently constructed, actual costs should be included in the report and considered in value. The market data approach will utilize at least three market comparable properties that will be analyzed by applicable units of comparison and adjusted to the subject property. The income approach will discuss market rent, competitive occupancy rates, historical, current, and market expenses, and establish net operating income. Net operating income will be used to establish value based upon the two most acceptable methods: direct overall rate capitalization and discounted cash flow. The applicable overall capitalization rate will be extracted and justified by extraction for at least three comparable market sales. The 10 year discounted cash flow analysis will use Argus software; the appraisal must outline, discuss, and justify all inherent assumptions. A copy of the disk will be submitted with the final report. The appraisal report should be prepared in accordance with the Code of Ethics and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation ("USPAP"). The report will be approved by a Member of the Appraisal Institute ("MAI"). ll. GENERAL INFORMATION. 1. Legal Structure of PRIM. The Pension Reserves Investment Management ( PRIM ) Board was created in 1983 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide and manage the Pension Reserves Investment Trust ( PRIT ) Fund. The PRIT Fund was created to invest the assets of the State Employees and State Teachers Retirement Systems. Many local Massachusetts retirement systems also invest their pension assets in the PRIT Fund. 5

The mission of PRIM is to ensure that assets to support current and future pension benefit obligations are adequately invested in a cost-effective manner. PRIM seeks to maximize the total return on investments within acceptable levels of risk for a public pension fund. As of June 30, 2015, the PRIT Fund had net assets totaling approximately $61 billion. PRIM is governed by a nine-member board of trustees. The trustees include: (1) the Governor, ex officio, or his designee; (2) the State Treasurer, ex officio, or her designee, who shall serve as Chair of PRIM; (3) a private citizen, experienced in the field of financial management, appointed by the State Treasurer; (4) an employee or retiree, who is a member of the State Teachers Retirement System, elected by the members of such system, for a term of three years; (5) an employee or retiree, who is a member of the State Employees Retirement System, elected by the members of such system for a term of three years; (6) the elected member of the State Retirement Board; (7) one of the elected members of the Teachers Retirement Board chosen by the members of the Teachers Retirement Board; (8) a person who is not an employee or official of the Commonwealth appointed by the Governor; and (9) a representative of a public safety union appointed by the Governor. Appointed members serve for a term of four years. The nine-member board of trustees has the authority to employ an Executive Director, outside investment managers, custodians, consultants and others as it deems necessary; to formulate policies and procedures; and to take such other actions as necessary and appropriate to manage the assets of the PRIT Fund. PRIM has established four advisory committees: Investment, Administration and Audit, Real Estate and Timber, and Compensation. The committees are generally comprised of several Board members and also private citizens with investment and/or relevant business expertise. Committee recommendations are presented to the Board for approval. The PRIM organizational chart along with a listing of the members of the PRIM Board, Investment Committee, Real Estate and Timber Committee, Administration and Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee can be found on the PRIM website at http://www.mapension.com. 2. Legislative Mandate. PRIM is governed by Massachusetts General Laws ( MGL ), Chapter 32, Sections 22 and 23 (web link: MGL Chapter 32, Sections 22 and 23) and oversees the PRIT Fund under the terms of PRIM s Operating Trust dated July 15, 1988 and amended on September 22, 1998 (see http://www.mapension.com). The members of the Board, in conjunction with the Executive Director determine significant policies and decisions concerning the administrative and investment operations of PRIM and the PRIT Fund. 3. MGL Chapter 268A. The Massachusetts Conflict of Interest Law (web link: MGL 268A) applies to PRIM and can have application to persons performing services to PRIM. 4. Chapter 30A, Sections 18-25. The Massachusetts Open Meeting Law MGL Chapter 30A, Sections 18-25, (web link: MGL Chapter 30A, Sections 18-25) is designed to ensure transparency in public policy deliberations. The Open Meeting Law requires, with some exceptions, that meetings of public bodies such as PRIM be open to the public. 6

5. Tobacco, Sudan and Iran Divestiture. On October 7, 1997, the Massachusetts legislature enacted, and the Governor signed into law, Chapter 199 of the Acts of 1997, which forbids the PRIT Fund from purchasing securities of any company which derives more than 15 percent of its revenues from the sale of tobacco products. The legislation also required that the PRIT Fund divest itself of all such securities within three years. PRIM provides investment managers with a quarterly listing of these restricted securities. On November 2, 2007, the Massachusetts legislature enacted, and the Governor signed into law, Chapter 151 of the Acts of 2007, which forbids the PRIT Fund from purchasing the securities of companies determined to be doing business in the Sudan. The legislation required that the PRIT Fund divest itself of all such securities within 12 months. PRIM provides investment managers with a quarterly listing of these restricted securities. On August 4, 2010, the Massachusetts legislature enacted, and the Governor signed into law, Chapter 232 of the Acts of 2010, which forbids the PRIT Fund from purchasing the securities of companies determined to be doing business in Iran. The legislation required the PRIT Fund to divest itself of all such securities within 12 months. PRIM provides investment managers with a quarterly listing of these restricted securities. 6. PRIM s Advisors. Outside advisors are engaged for their particular expertise and retained to assist PRIM in areas such as general portfolio strategy and investments, real estate, and private markets. Callan is PRIM's public markets consultant, NEPC is PRIM s asset allocation consultant, Arden Asset Management is PRIM s hedge fund consultant, Hamilton Lane is the private equity consultant, and The Townsend Group is the real estate and timber consultant.
