OBJECTIVE: To create a list of qualified pre-approved real estate appraisal firms to perform
real estate appraisal assignments for the County.
-
CONSIDERATIONS: Real estate appraisers are frequently needed by Collier County to
estimate the compensation due to property owners as a result of the necessary acquisition of their
properties (or portions thereof) for the construction of public improvement projects such as
roads, canals, parks, utility facilities, Conservation Collier purchases, etc, Real estate appraisers
may also be needed by the County to estimate the value of County-owned property that is being
contemplated for sale or lease. Assignments can range from simple one-dimensional appraisals
using the comparable sales approach only, to complex before-and-after appraisal problems
involving severance damages to the remaining lands and estimates of cure where only a portion
of an improved property is being acquired by the County.
This use of qualified, pre-approved appraisers working under a competitive fixed hourly fee
schedule has successfully allowed the County to order appraisal services without implementing a
costly and time consuming bid process for individual assignments. This process has also
permitted County staff to be more selective in employing the appraisal firms best suited to
perform various appraisal assignments based upon the level of specialized expertise needed for a
particular assignment. All of tlle selected firms have agreed to bill based upon a conllilon rate
schedule; work assignments will be a function of workload and project specific expertise.
RFP #08-5067 was advertised on July 3, 2008. In addition to the required advertisement, 69
notices were sent to professionally recognized appraisal firms throughout southern and central
Florida (including those firms currently approved by the County). Twenty-six (26) bid packages
were ultimately requested and twenty-two (22) proposals were submitted of which one was
incomplete and deemed non-responsive. On October 2, 2008, the RFP Selection Committee met
and chose these eleven (ll) firms for approval under a competitive review process.
FISCAL IMPACT: Fees for real estate appraisal services will be paid from various fund
sources and cost centers established to support capital improvement element projects and other
miscellaneous projects over the lenn of the bid. The contracts will be in the foml of purchase
orders. The establishment of this new list of approved appraisers will have no fiscal impact
beyond what has been previously budgetcd for appraisal services for these various projects.
.-
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient for Board action.~SRT
