Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Master Agreement PL192 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services across the state. This contract enables the procurement of comprehensive real estate appraisal services for various state-owned properties, including vacant land, correctional facilities, and conservation areas. The IDV allows for task-based assignments with specific appraisal requirements, such as market value assessments, property disposition evaluations, and land valuation for state land management purposes.

The master agreement was originally awarded to Ketcham Appraisal Group, Inc. and later included Boyle & Drake, Inc. as contractors. The contract was established on April 7, 2008, with an initial performance period of three years, subsequently renewed through April 6, 2014. The IDV covers statewide operations within Florida and operates as a cost-reimbursement, task-assignment contract. Hourly rates for appraisal services progressively increased from $157.50 in 2008-2009 to $225.00 in 2012-2013, with tasks ranging from individual parcel assessments to large-scale property evaluations for agencies like the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund and the Department of Corrections.
