Appraisal Evaluation Matrix.docx

This document is a Proposal Evaluation Matrix for a real estate appraisal project involving Tribal lands and federal leases, specifically targeting the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Indian Health Service (IHS). The matrix outlines a comprehensive scoring system for evaluating potential contractors, with a total of 100 possible points distributed across seven key evaluation criteria including firm qualifications, certifications, tribal experience, project methodology, cost proposal, references, and Indian/Tribal preference.

The evaluation criteria prioritize contractors with deep experience in real estate appraisals, particularly those familiar with 105L lease processes and tribal lands. Scoring ranges from 0 (non-responsive) to 25 (exceptional) points across different categories, with significant weight given to firm qualifications (25 points), tribal entity experience (20 points), and certifications (15 points). The matrix includes specific considerations such as valid Oregon appraisal licenses, compliance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and preference for Indian-owned or Tribal-member-owned firms in accordance with 25 CFR 900 and the Indian Self-Determination Act.
