RFP #22-25 General Reassessment-Large Industrial Properties (Resolicit)

The City of Hopewell, Virginia has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #22-25) for a 2025 General Reassessment of Large Industrial Properties, specifically targeting six large industrial properties within the jurisdiction. The procurement seeks a qualified MAI (Member of the Appraisal Institute) appraiser to perform a comprehensive property valuation, with the primary objective of determining fair market value as of January 1, 2025. Key deliverables include conducting site visits, collecting property data, performing cost and market analyses, and submitting final property valuations to the City Assessor's Office by February 1, 2025. The successful contractor must coordinate closely with the City Assessor and potentially provide expert testimony for any informal or formal appeals arising from the reassessment process. Proposals are due by 11:00 a.m. on November 21, 2024, with the City reserving the right to award the contract in part or whole. Evaluation criteria will likely include the contractor's qualifications, project approach, timeline, and ability to ensure equity in the overall reassessment.

The RFP does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The pricing structure requires contractors to submit a price per manufacturing plant for the general reassessment phase, a price per appraisal report for the appeal phase, and an hourly rate for expert witness and additional services. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the scope is limited to six large industrial properties, suggesting a focused and potentially moderate-value contract. The contractor must possess an MAI certification and demonstrate previous experience with similar large industrial property appraisals. The contract appears to be a one-time reassessment project tied to the 2025 valuation cycle, with no indication of potential renewal options or ongoing maintenance commitments beyond the specified deliverables.
