Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Master Agreement PL335 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on professional appraisal services across the state. This contract enables the DEP to procure specialized property appraisal consulting services on an as-needed basis, primarily supporting land acquisition initiatives such as the Florida Forever program. The IDV allows for task assignments involving comprehensive property evaluations, including market value assessments, drainage easement appraisals, and potential land acquisitions across various Florida counties.

The master agreement was initially established with multiple prime contractors, including Tompkins Appraisal Group and Carlson, Norris & Associates, Inc. The contract was originally awarded on March 31, 2014, with an initial performance period of three years, ending March 30, 2017, and subsequently extended through amendments. The IDV covers statewide appraisal services with a graduated fee structure, typically ranging from $125 to $170 per hour, and individual task assignments with fixed-price options. While the total contract value is not explicitly stated for all contractors, one example contract (PL292) had a maximum value of $250,000. The contract allows for flexible task assignments with specific deliverables, adhering to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Florida's Supplemental Appraisal Standards.
