Providers must be registered with the City of College Park and, if based in Georgia, provide documentary evidence of good standing from the Secretary of State. While the RFQ does not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, the procurement appears open to qualified professional appraisal firms meeting the specified experience and insurance requirements. The solicitation does not indicate a specific budget range or award value, nor does it reference existing incumbent vendors or require integration with specific infrastructure or technology. Evaluators will likely assess proposals based on demonstrated professional experience, compliance with USPAP standards, insurance coverage, and past performance with government entities, with a primary focus on the firm's ability to accurately and comprehensively appraise the 169.5 acres of land within the Six West Development project.
