Tax Appraisal Svs for Large-Scale Industrial/Manufacturing Property

Bryan County Board of Commissioners is soliciting proposals for tax appraisal services focused on large-scale industrial and manufacturing properties within the county. The procurement seeks a qualified appraisal firm to assist the Tax Assessors Office in establishing fair market values for significant industrial holdings that impact the county's tax digest. The selected firm must possess a current State of Georgia Certified General Real Property Appraiser license and demonstrate substantial experience appraising large-scale industrial properties. Required deliverables include conducting independent appraisals using recognized appraisal methods, preparing written reports that meet Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and potentially providing expert witness testimony. Proposal submissions are due electronically on November 4, 2025, by 2:00 PM EST, with a tentative award date of November 12, 2025, and project completion expected no later than January 16, 2026. Evaluation criteria will encompass demonstrated experience, reference quality, personnel qualifications, methodology soundness, and fee structure competitiveness. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including firm background, personnel qualifications, appraisal methodology, project timeline, cost proposal, and at least three references from comparable public-sector clients.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, Automobile/Vehicle Liability, Professional Liability, and Workers' Compensation coverage, with Bryan County Board of Commissioners listed as an additional insured. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the appraisal services and the focus on large-scale industrial properties suggest a potentially significant contract value. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation, and there are no mentions of specific technological integration requirements. The procurement appears open to qualified appraisal firms with extensive experience in industrial property assessment, particularly those familiar with Georgia tax laws and assessment procedures. Interested firms should carefully review the RFP documentation, noting the extended question submission deadline of October 24, 2025, by 5:00 PM EST, and prepare detailed proposals that comprehensively address the county's specific appraisal needs.
