Professional Appraisal Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) established a master indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) for professional appraisal services across the state. This contract enables the procurement of comprehensive appraisal services pursuant to Chapters 253 and 259 of Florida Statutes and Chapter 18-1 of Florida Administrative Code. The IDV allows for task-based professional appraisal assignments with specific hourly rates, supporting land-related evaluations and potential property assessments for governmental purposes. Appraisal services can include responding to inquiries and conducting specialized property evaluations as needed by the department.

The master agreement was awarded to First Appraisal of S.W. Florida, Inc., located in Labelle, Florida, with a contract period from March 31, 2014, to March 30, 2017. The contract is structured as a three-year master agreement with a total not-to-exceed value of $250,000, featuring incrementally increasing hourly rates from $125.00 in the first 12 months to $151.25 in the third year. While covering the entire state of Florida, the contract provides flexibility for task assignments without guaranteeing minimum work volumes. Additionally, the IDV allows potential utilization by other Florida governmental entities at the contractor's discretion, enhancing its potential applicability across public sector organizations.
