Appraisal services: Golden Gate Park National Recr

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, Acquisition Services Directorate, is seeking professional appraisal services for a fiber optic right-of-way located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on behalf of the Appraisal and Valuation Services Office. The procurement involves conducting market valuation and appraisal report services for three telecommunications entities - AT&T, Zayo, and PG&E - operating within the park boundaries. Contractors must be Certified General Appraisers with demonstrated experience in appraising rights-of-way on federal lands, and must provide market rent analyses for both 10-year and 30-year permit terms with separate evaluations for each entity's segments. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 531320 for "Offices of Real Estate Appraisers" and requires quotes to be submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on September 11, 2025. The performance period is targeted at 120 calendar days from purchase order award, with an initial appraisal target completion of 60 calendar days.

This procurement was initially designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside but has been amended to become unrestricted, opening the competition to all qualified contractors. The appraisal covers 63,192 linear feet spanning 14.55 acres across San Francisco and Marin Counties, California, encompassing routes both north and south of the Golden Gate Bridge. The right-of-way includes primarily underground fiber installations with two small overhead segments that require evaluation. The National Park Service requires the final appraisal report to include annual market rent calculations for each segment and entity, supporting their permit renewal and pricing decisions. Performance will take place in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, with field work required in both San Francisco and Marin County locations to complete the comprehensive valuation analysis.
