The Charter Township of Oakland is seeking professional assessing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a three-year contract period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028. The procurement covers comprehensive property assessment services for 7,896 total parcels, including 7,598 residential, 61 commercial, 14 industrial, 19 agricultural, and 194 personal property parcels within the township. Key deliverables include on-site property inspections, maintaining assessment rolls, processing exemptions, preparing assessment notices, attending Board of Review meetings, analyzing property sales, and tracking building permits. Bidders must possess a Michigan State Tax Commission MMAO certification and demonstrate proficiency with BS&A/Equalization software. The proposal submissions are due on May 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with an anticipated contract award on May 27, 2025. Evaluation criteria will not focus solely on cost, but will comprehensively assess bidders' qualifications, experience, proposed approach, and comparable project history. Interested vendors must obtain bid documents from the official sources: the Township Clerk's Office, Oakland Township website, or MITN Purchasing Group through BidNet Direct. The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The township explicitly states it will not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, or unrelated disability. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a cover letter, work approach, professional staff information, references, and fee structure, along with compliance documentation for the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the 2024 State Equalized Value of $2,369,526,010 provides context for the scale of the assessment services. Potential respondents can direct questions to Township Manager Joseph Merucci via email at jmerucci@oaklandtownship.org or by phone at (248) 218-6951. The township reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive informalities, and negotiate terms deemed in the best interest of the township, even if not the lowest bid.
