Professional Appraisal Services

This Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) is a master agreement for professional appraisal services administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The contract enables the state to procure specialized appraisal services for various land and conservation-related projects, with a focus on evaluating properties for potential conservation easements, land acquisitions, and state land management initiatives. Specifically, the IDV allows for task-based appraisal assignments across the state, with services covering detailed property assessments, market value estimations, and comprehensive appraisal reporting for different land types, including uplands and wetlands.

The master agreement was originally awarded to Candler Appraisal Services, Inc. and Lampe, Roy & Associates, Inc., with an initial contract period from March 31, 2014, to March 30, 2017, and subsequently extended to March 30, 2020. The contract is a statewide Florida IDV with a maximum task assignment value of $250,000 and hourly rates that escalated from $200 to $275 per hour over the contract term. The IDV operates on a task assignment basis, meaning the DEP can issue specific appraisal tasks as needed, with no guaranteed minimum work volume, providing flexibility in procurement of professional appraisal services across the state.
