Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) established Master Agreement PL307 as an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services across the state. This contract provides comprehensive appraisal support for land acquisition projects, primarily focusing on properties within Florida's diverse ecosystems, including the Florida Keys, Miami-Dade County, and various environmentally sensitive areas. The IDV enables task-based appraisal assignments with specific scopes, supporting initiatives such as the Florida Forever program and land acquisitions for the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. Appraisals can cover various property types, including tropical hardwood hammocks, mangrove lands, industrial parcels, and undeveloped coastal properties.

The master contract is awarded to Slack, Johnston & Magenheimer, Inc., a professional appraisal firm located in Miami, Florida. The original contract was executed on March 31, 2014, with an initial three-year period and subsequent amendments extending the performance through September 30, 2020. The contract has a total value not to exceed $250,000, with progressive hourly rates ranging from $165 to $190 per hour. The IDV is statewide in scope and allows other Florida governmental entities, including state agencies, universities, water management districts, counties, and local public agencies, to utilize the contract. Task assignments under this IDV are structured as fixed-price agreements, with individual task values ranging from $2,500 to $5,985, depending on the specific appraisal requirements.
