Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) established a Master Agreement (Contract No. PL328) for professional appraisal services, providing an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for statewide property assessment needs. The IDV enables task-based appraisal assignments with flexible service delivery, covering comprehensive property evaluations across Florida. Services include narrative, single parcel ownership appraisals with detailed reporting requirements, focusing on properties such as conservation lands, environmental corridors, and potential state acquisition targets. The contract allows for fixed-price deliverables and hourly-rate task assignments, with a total task assignment limit of $250,000.

The master contract was originally awarded to Giles Appraisal Group, Inc. and initially executed on March 18, 2014, with a three-year term and options for renewal. The contract has been extended through amendments, most recently to March 17, 2020, with incrementally increasing hourly rates ranging from $115 to $140 per hour. The IDV covers the entire state of Florida and operates as a master services agreement, allowing the DEP to issue task assignments on an as-needed basis. The contract type is a professional services master agreement, providing the state flexibility in procuring appraisal services for environmental and land management purposes.
