Request for Proposals for City Assessment Services

The City of Milton, Wisconsin has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive City Assessment Services, seeking qualified individuals or firms to provide annual property assessment services for a five-year contract period. The procurement targets a municipality with a 2024 total assessed value of $687.6 million and a population of 5,716. Key deliverables include conducting annual assessments of real and personal property, maintaining accurate property records, processing new construction and parcel changes, conducting Open Book sessions, and participating in Board of Review proceedings. The scope of work requires potential annual market revaluations and demands that the selected assessor ensure timely, professional service with accessible communication and compliance with open records laws. Proposers must demonstrate at least five years of municipal assessment experience and advanced knowledge of computer assessment applications. The RFP was posted on June 9, 2025, with proposals due by July 11, 2025, and an anticipated contract start date of January 1, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on successful experience with similar-sized municipalities, assessment accuracy, service costs, and customer interaction responsiveness.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The current assessed value of $687.6 million suggests a substantial contract opportunity, though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals and will select the assessor whose quote is most advantageous considering experience, price, and other factors. Proposers will be required to carry appropriate insurance coverage and demonstrate technical capability to manage digital property assessment records. The contract appears to be open to both individual assessors and assessment firms with proven municipal experience. While the specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of services and the city's total assessed value indicate a significant potential engagement for the selected vendor.
