Appraisal Services for Right-of-Way Acquisitions

The City of St. Albans is seeking professional appraisal services specifically for right-of-way acquisitions related to the Federal Street Multimodal Connector Project in Franklin County, Vermont. Qualified appraisal firms or individual professionals will be responsible for conducting comprehensive property appraisals to support the project's right-of-way acquisition process. The procurement requires interested parties to carefully review the full Request for Proposals (RFP) available on the official city website at www.stalbansvt.com/rfps. Proposals must be submitted by January 20, 2026, which represents the final deadline for response to this solicitation. The appraisal services will likely involve detailed property assessments, valuation reports, and documentation necessary for facilitating land acquisitions associated with the multimodal transportation infrastructure project. Potential respondents should demonstrate expertise in right-of-way appraisals, familiarity with federal and state property valuation standards, and the ability to provide precise, legally defensible property valuation documentation.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, typical municipal procurements often encourage participation from local, small, or minority-owned businesses. The contract appears to be open to professional appraisal firms and individual certified appraisers with appropriate credentials and experience in right-of-way acquisition assessments. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the original solicitation. The scope suggests a project-specific, time-limited engagement with potential compensation aligned with the complexity and number of properties requiring appraisal. Although a specific budget range was not disclosed, municipal infrastructure projects of this nature typically allocate funds based on the total number of property parcels involved and the complexity of the right-of-way acquisition process. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review all supplemental documentation on the referenced website to understand the full scope of requirements and potential evaluation criteria.
