Appraiser Services

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Military Affairs issued this Request for Proposal on October 12, 2018, seeking appraisal services for coal cleaning plant assets located at the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville, Kentucky, within Ohio County jurisdiction. The solicitation requires a qualified appraiser to provide a detailed fair market value appraisal of two fine coal cleaning plants—a 300 TPH MinuteMan unit and a 250 TPH Rock Crusher unit—along with supporting physical assets as of June 1, 2018. The scope of work includes initial and detailed inspections, inventory of operating and maintenance records, documentation of process systems equipment, electrical systems evaluation, condition assessments of supporting assets, and determination of fair market value through comprehensive appraisal deliverables. Evaluation criteria allocate 30 points for experience and professional appraiser qualifications, 60 points for cost (with the lowest hourly rate receiving maximum points), and 10 points for sample work products. Proposals were due on October 31, 2018, at 1:00 PM EST, with submissions required in person or by courier to the Department of Military Affairs Procurement Office in separate sealed covers for technical and cost proposals. The initial contract term was anticipated to run from November 5, 2018, through December 31, 2018, with renewal subject to approval by the Finance and Administration Cabinet Secretary and the Legislative Research Commission Government Contract Review Committee.

Cost proposals must comply with Kentucky Government Contract Review Committee Policy Statement 99-2, which establishes maximum rate schedules of $560 per day for real estate appraisers and $600 per day for resource appraisers, with exceptions available for complex appraisals requiring prior justification. Vendors must be registered with the Kentucky Secretary of State if they are foreign entities, and all proposals must include signed solicitation forms, transmittal letters, required affidavits, and professional qualifications documentation. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the solicitation documents; cost proposals were evaluated on an hourly labor basis with categories for coal preparation plant appraisal services, supporting assets evaluation, and report preparation. The solicitation documents do not indicate any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted categories, nor do they reference any incumbent vendors or current contractors. No addenda were issued, and no offerors conference was scheduled, with electronic or facsimile proposals explicitly prohibited.
