Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Master Agreement PL291 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on professional appraisal services. The contract enables the state to procure specialized land appraisal and appraisal review services for various environmental and land acquisition projects across Florida. Specifically, the IDV allows for technical review of draft appraisals, comprehensive property assessments, and land valuation services aligned with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The scope of services can include detailed property evaluations for projects such as land trust acquisitions, environmental watershed initiatives, and state land management efforts.

The master agreement was awarded to Hettema Saba, LLC, with an initial contract period from April 10, 2014, to April 9, 2017, and subsequent amendments extending the contract to September 30, 2020. The contract is a state-wide master agreement covering Florida, with a total contract value capped at $250,000. Compensation is structured on an hourly rate basis, which escalated from $215/hour in the first year to $230/hour in the third year. The contract type is a flexible task assignment master agreement, allowing FDEP and potentially other Florida governmental entities to issue specific task orders for appraisal services as needed, with each task assignment having its own defined scope and fixed-price cost.
