Real estate appraisal services

The City of College Park, Georgia has issued Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 26-09 for professional real estate appraisal services targeting 101 vacant land parcels totaling 169.5 acres within a 311-acre City-owned property. The procurement seeks a qualified appraiser to conduct comprehensive property valuations supporting the Six West Development project, with specific objectives including potential legal proceedings related to condemnation. Providers must demonstrate at least five years of professional marketing surveying experience, with preference given to those with prior government entity work. Proposals must be submitted by Wednesday, August 13, 2025, no later than 3:00 p.m., with a deadline for submitting inquiries and clarification requests set for Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. The deliverables require professional appraisal reports adhering to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and submission materials must include a cover letter, executive summary of qualifications, fixed fee pricing estimate, vendor registration documentation, and key personnel resumes.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating providers maintain workers' compensation, business auto policy, commercial general liability, and professional liability coverage with specified minimum coverage amounts. The City reserves comprehensive discretion in the procurement process, including the right to reject any quotations, eliminate non-qualified providers, and cancel the solicitation without liability. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the appraisal project involving 101 parcels suggests a potentially significant contract value. The procurement appears focused on securing a highly qualified professional appraiser capable of delivering precise, thorough valuation services to support the City of College Park's development initiatives, with an emphasis on competitive and rigorous vendor selection.
