Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Master Agreement PL183 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) established to provide professional appraisal services to the Division of State Lands. This statewide contract enables task-specific appraisal assignments across Florida, focusing on land valuation services pursuant to Chapters 253 and 259 of Florida Statutes. The IDV allows the FDEP to procure professional appraisal services on an as-needed basis, with contractors performing detailed market value assessments, land exchange evaluations, and property appraisals for various state entities and projects.

The master agreement was originally awarded to Catlett & Company, Inc. on March 4, 2008, with an initial contract period of three years, subsequently renewed until March 3, 2014. The contract is structured as a cost-reimbursement agreement with hourly rates ranging from $150 to $170 per hour, depending on the contract year. Geographically covering the State of Florida, the IDV operates as a flexible procurement mechanism that allows the FDEP to engage appraisal services through individual task assignments without a minimum guaranteed work commitment. The contract type ensures compliance with state procurement regulations and includes provisions for insurance, invoicing, and periodic fee schedule adjustments.
