RFP 18-18 Property Tax Assessment Services

The City of Greenfield, Massachusetts is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Property Tax Assessment Services. The selected vendor will be responsible for a range of assessment services, including preparing the annual tax recap process, new growth revenue reports, real estate and personal property billing files, property inspections, staff support and supervision, Appellate Tax Board representation, and other related services. The RFP specifies minimum qualifications for key personnel, insurance requirements, and an evaluation process that will rate proposals as highly advantageous, advantageous, or not advantageous based on criteria such as Massachusetts business location, experience providing assessment services in the state, Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) system expertise, and revaluation experience. Proposals are due by May 8, 2018 at 2:00 pm, and the contract term is from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021.

The RFP does not specify any pricing set-asides or funding sources. It notes that the City currently utilizes the Patriot Properties AssessPro software system and is not looking to change systems. The successful vendor will be responsible for all costs of staffing and support, and the City will award the contract to the most responsive and qualified proposer based on the evaluation criteria. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and it does not provide an estimated award value or budget range.
