Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Master Agreement PL294 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services across the state of Florida. The contract enables the DEP to procure specialized land appraisal services on an as-needed basis, with a focus on supporting land acquisition initiatives such as the Florida Forever program. Under this master agreement, contractors can provide comprehensive appraisal services for various land parcels, including detailed market value assessments, retrospective valuations, and property evaluations for state land acquisitions, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas like the Fakahatchee Strand.

The master agreement was originally awarded to Carlson, Norris & Associates, Inc. on March 31, 2014, with an initial three-year term and subsequent amendments extending the contract through September 30, 2020. The contract has a total task assignment value cap of $250,000 and features an hourly rate structure that incrementally increases from $100 to $110 per hour. Geographically, the IDV covers the entire state of Florida and allows for task-based assignments with fixed-price or cost-reimbursement compensation models. The contract type is a professional services master agreement, which provides the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with flexible, on-demand access to expert appraisal services for strategic land acquisition and assessment projects.
