The Michigan Department of Treasury has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 271 190000000032 seeking a certified assessor to perform corrective action on the City of St. Ignace's property tax assessment rolls. The procurement targets comprehensive assessment roll review and correction, specifically focusing on developing the 2019 assessment roll by addressing deficiencies in the 2017 and 2018 rolls. Key deliverables include reviewing class construction, adjusting story heights, developing Economic Condition Factors (ECFs), performing Land Value Determinations, and ensuring proper Industrial Real Market (IRM) application. Mandatory minimum qualifications require bidders to currently hold either Michigan Master Assessing Officer (MMAO) or Michigan Advanced Assessing Officer (MAAO) certification. The evaluation process utilizes a 100-point technical scoring system, with 40 points for Statement of Work Section 1, 30 points for Sections 2-6, and 30 points for the Vendor Questions Worksheet. Proposals must score at least 80 technical points to have pricing evaluated. The RFP was issued on October 5, 2018, with questions due by October 10, 2018, and proposals due by October 19, 2018, with an anticipated contract start date of November 1, 2018, and all work to be completed by December 31, 2018.

The procurement appears to have a preference for qualified disabled veteran (QDV) status, which may be considered during evaluation. The State reserves the right to conduct on-site visits, oral presentations, interviews, reference checks, and request additional price concessions during the evaluation process. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Umbrella/Excess Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, Employers Liability, and Professional Liability insurance. The contract includes liquidated damages provisions ranging from 10% to 50% of the contract value for late or improper completion, assessed on a sliding scale based on days late. Monthly status reports must be submitted to the Program Manager. While the exact contract value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the assessment roll correction and the potential for significant liquidated damages suggest a substantial financial commitment. The procurement is specifically targeted at jurisdictions including Lake County and South Haven City in Michigan, with a focus on improving the accuracy and compliance of local property tax assessment processes.
