This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form (Form C) for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, associated with RFP No. 7793 for property appraisal services. The solicitation seeks a single qualified vendor to provide comprehensive annual appraisals and re-appraisals of City-owned buildings and structures through physical inspections, with deliverables including Building Detail Reports with photographs and site diagrams, Building Summary Reports, Statement of Values with trending reports, and supplemental appraisals for newly acquired properties. Services must be completed within 14 calendar days of property inspections conducted during a designated one-week window typically scheduled in August or September. The RFP was released on March 27, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of May 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. via electronic submission through OpenGov. The contract term is three years with an optional two-year renewal period, and the contractor must provide annual update services for all properties and respond to appraisal-related questions within 30 days at no additional cost.

The Subcontractor Utilization Plan requires proposers to demonstrate intent to use minority, women, veteran, and small businesses located in the Tampa Bay Region, with participation in the categories of Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Veteran-Owned Businesses, and Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) being voluntary. Proposers must describe their efforts in engaging and reducing barriers to participation by these business enterprises through outreach, education, mentorship, and process improvements. No minimum level of small/veteran/diverse business enterprise participation is required as a condition for contract award, and proposers will not be deemed non-responsive for submitting zero participation amounts.
