Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for Professional Appraisal Services to support the Division of State Lands. This master agreement enables the FDEP to procure professional appraisal services on a task-specific basis throughout the state of Florida. The IDV allows for task assignments to be completed using either fixed-price or cost-reimbursement methods, with no minimum work guarantees. Contractors can provide appraisal services at predetermined hourly rates, with the flexibility for the department to engage multiple professional consultants as needed.

The master agreement was initially awarded to Boyle & Drake, Inc. on May 2, 2008, with an original contract period of three years, spanning from May 1, 2008, to May 1, 2011. The contract covers statewide services in Florida and was subsequently amended multiple times to adjust hourly rates and administrative details. Hourly rates for appraisal services ranged from $106.25 to $99.90 per hour between 2008 and 2013. The contract was categorized as a Single/Sole Source procurement under the "Exempt - Legal Services" classification, with provisions for travel and incidental expenses to be itemized and subject to departmental review.
