Commercial Appraisal Services

The City of Pasadena is seeking commercial appraisal services through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive commercial and vacant land appraisal work. The procurement targets a two-year contract with potential for three additional one-year extensions, focusing on professional appraisal services for various property types including retail properties, office buildings, industrial facilities, mixed-use developments, and vacant land parcels. Proposers must have licensed and certified appraisers with a minimum of five years of experience and must conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The evaluation process will distribute 100 points across four key areas: Company Qualifications and References (30 points), Cost Proposal (30 points), Staff Qualifications (30 points), and local business preferences (10 points). Proposals are due by 3:00 pm on Monday, June 30, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal. The City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and will select the firm that best meets their requirements based on the total average points from all evaluators.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the local business preference points suggest some consideration for local firms. Proposers must complete multiple compliance documents, including a Conflict of Interest Disclosure, Federal Required Certification, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) form, and Taxpayer Protection Amendment Disclosure. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement documents indicate potential appraisal projects involving specific properties, such as a single-tenant retail building, a vacant commercial lot for affordable housing development, and a medical office property. The City appears to be strategically evaluating property assets for potential redevelopment, affordable housing, and economic development purposes. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive documentation and detailed requirements suggest a significant and complex procurement process with potential for substantial contract value.
