Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Master Agreement PL306 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services, specifically designed to support land acquisition and assessment activities across the state. The contract enables FDEP and other Florida governmental entities, including state agencies, community college systems, water management districts, counties, and municipalities, to procure professional appraisal services on a task assignment basis. Services are primarily focused on property evaluations pursuant to Chapters 253 and 259 of Florida Statutes, with appraisals conducted following Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice for potential land acquisitions, exchanges, and state trail projects.

The master agreement is awarded to Ketcham Appraisal Group, Inc., with an initial contract period from March 20, 2014, to March 19, 2017, and subsequent extensions through amendments. The contract has a total value cap of $250,000, with hourly rates starting at $190 and incrementally increasing to $215 over the contract's lifecycle. Task assignments can be issued on a fixed-price or cost-reimbursement basis, and the contract covers statewide geographic coverage within Florida. Prime contractor Clay Ketcham serves as the primary representative, with task assignments demonstrating applications across various counties including Franklin, Wakulla, and Walton, often supporting initiatives like state park expansions and trail development projects.
