Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) established Master Agreement PL279 as an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services statewide. The contract enables task-based procurement of specialized appraisal services in accordance with Chapters 253 and 259, F.S. and Chapter 18-1, F.A.C., with a focus on supporting environmental land management and property assessment needs. Contractors will provide comprehensive appraisal evaluations, including responses to inquiries from the Auditor General, with services to be assigned through individual task orders as required by the department.

The master agreement was initially awarded to Agri-Property Consultants, Inc. on March 31, 2014, with an original contract term of three years and a total not-to-exceed value of $250,000. Through Amendment No. 1, the contract was extended to March 30, 2020, and the hourly rate was adjusted from $160 to $165 per hour. The contract is structured to allow utilization by other Florida governmental entities at their discretion, subject to cost-effectiveness and mutual agreement. The IDV covers the entire state of Florida and operates as a flexible, task-assignment based professional services contract for appraisal-related work.
