Real Estate Appraisal Quote - Vinton County

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Office of Real Estate and Planning is seeking a professional real estate appraisal for a property located in Vinton County, specifically along Tower Ridge Calhoun Road Drive with Parcel Number 17-00688.000. The procurement requires an Ohio Certified General Real Estate Appraiser who is professionally designated as an MAI appraiser to conduct a comprehensive market value assessment. The appraiser must personally perform an onsite physical inspection and develop an opinion of market value considering the property's "as is" fee simple interest, which is currently encumbered by a communications tower license. Deliverables must include a detailed appraisal report conforming to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), incorporating a sales comparison approach and potentially a cost and income approach if applicable. The report must provide in-depth qualitative analysis with substantiated market data adjustments for comparable sales. The appraisal must be completed within 45 days of the full execution of the Request for Quote, with the final report subject to review and potential revision by the DAS Office of Real Estate and Planning.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The current property is subject to an existing license agreement with the Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS), which has exclusive use of approximately 0.0342 acres for a communications tower, with an annual rental rate of $20,923.02. The license, originally executed in 2002 and amended in 2023, includes provisions for potential two additional five-year renewal terms. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the appraisal and the requirement for a MAI-designated appraiser suggests a professional service contract with moderate complexity. The procurement is specifically for Vinton County, with the property located in Wilkesville Township, and is part of a larger state infrastructure management strategy involving communications infrastructure. The contract opportunity provides an opportunity for qualified real estate appraisers with specific certifications to engage in a precise, technically detailed evaluation of state-owned property.
