On-Call Appraisal Services

The City of Norwalk, located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for On-Call Appraisal Services (Solicitation Number 4254) to support its Sidewalk Installation Program. The city seeks to procure the services of a Certified General and Certified Residential Appraiser to provide on-call appraisal services as needed. Prospective vendors must possess the necessary certifications and be prepared to deliver appraisal services specifically for the city's sidewalk infrastructure project. The solicitation was released on January 4, 2023, with proposals due by January 17, 2023, at 2:00 PM EST. A vendor Q&A period was established from January 4, 2023, at 5:15 PM EST until January 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM EST, during which interested parties could submit questions through the Bonfire procurement platform. An initial Addendum 1 was issued on January 6, 2023, potentially providing additional clarification or modifications to the original solicitation.

The RFP appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. No information was provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The solicitation documents do not specify an estimated total contract value, budget range, or precise payment terms. The City of Norwalk intends to select a single appraiser or appraisal management firm to fulfill the contract requirements. Interested vendors are directed to review the complete solicitation documents available at https://norwalkct.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/82747, with all questions to be directed to Christopher McCauley in the Purchasing Department. The lack of specified pricing terms, contract duration, or renewal options suggests that these details will be negotiated with the selected vendor after the initial proposal review.
