property where the purchase price of the parcel (the compensation due to the property owner) is less

return for the immediate and proper execution ofthe respective easements, or other legal documents
and/or affidavits as the County Attorney's Office deems appropriate in order to protect the interests

for the life of the Project, to execute any instruments which have been approved by the Office of the
County Attorney, to remove the lien of any encumbrance and for any such other purpose as may be .

Agreement" or "Easement Agreement" mechanism, the Administrator of the Transportation
Division, or any Project Manager of his designation, is hereby delegated the authority to approve
the purchase of land interests above the staff compensation estimate or appraised value and pay
normally related costs when it is in the best interest of the Project, within the pro-rata share of the
land rights acquisition budget for the parcel being acquired, only when the difference between the
purchase price and compensation estimate or appraised value is less than Twenty-Five Thousand

Purchasing Department; provided, Project funding is available.

Purchase Agreements where the land owner has agreed to sell the required land rights to the County
at its appraised value or at that amount considered the "Administrative Settlement Amount" as such
term is internally used by the administrative agencies of Collier County.
10. Where the property owner agrees, through the execution of a "Purchase Agreement" or
"Easement Agreement," to convey a necessary interest in real property to the County, and upon the
proper execution by the property owner of those easements or such other legal documents as the
