Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Master Agreement PL300 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services across the state. This contract enables the FDEP and other Florida governmental entities, including state agencies, water management districts, counties, and municipalities, to procure specialized property appraisal services as needed. The IDV allows for task assignments with flexible pricing structures, including fixed-price and cost reimbursement options, with individual task assignments limited to $250,000.

The master contract was originally awarded to Diversified Property Specialists, Inc., with C. Lee Lobban, MAI, serving as the primary appraiser. The initial contract period was from March 20, 2014, to March 19, 2017, with an amendment extending the term to March 19, 2020. The contract operates on an hourly rate basis, which increased from $40.00 to $65.00 per hour during the renewal period. Geographically, the IDV covers the entire state of Florida and provides a flexible mechanism for procuring professional appraisal services for various land and property assessment needs, particularly for projects involving ecosystem and land acquisition initiatives like the Florida Forever program.
