Insurance Appraisal Services - Real Property Infrastructure RFP# INSAPP-09172026

The State of Maryland is requesting proposals for insurance appraisal services covering state-owned real property and infrastructure classified as Category A and Category B, with proposals due November 4, 2026. The RFP permits selection of one or more firms. An MBE participation goal applies; the specific percentage is established in Appendix 4 but not disclosed in the source summaries. Maryland Living Wage Requirements apply as a Tier 1 contract, with covered employees earning at least the Tier 1 rate (applicable to Montgomery, Prince George's, Howard, Anne Arundel, and Baltimore Counties and Baltimore City) or state/county minimum wage, whichever is higher.

Category A scope covers real property valuations across approximately 500 state-owned locations, with 12 exceeding $300 million in building replacement cost and a combined state portfolio valued at $73.12 billion for 2026. Bidders must provide flat fees for structures under 100,000 square feet, 100,001–500,000 square feet, and over 500,001 square feet, plus an hourly rate. Category B covers infrastructure assets, principally Maryland's transportation network including five memorial bridges, Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, Fort McHenry Tunnel, and numerous bridge structures over the ICC, I-895, I-95, I-395, and other corridors. Bidders must price major structures (two miles or less, and greater than two miles) and non-major structures (five miles or less, and greater than five miles) at flat fees plus hourly rate. A maximum of 100 hours per section applies unless the state grants written extension; no more than 20 additional hours may be approved annually.

Compensation uses flat fees per structure as the primary mechanism, with hourly rates as supplementary or alternative backup. All pricing must be fully loaded and entered on the mandated Price Form without alteration. Proposals must include detailed scope of work with expected hours for state approval prior to commencement. Proposals must address economic benefits as contractually enforceable commitments, including Maryland-based subcontractors, job creation for Maryland residents, tax revenues, and MBE subcontracting, with quarterly reporting required throughout contract performance and any renewals. Bidders must submit a Maryland Living Wage Requirements Affidavit of Agreement with their proposal.
