REVIEW Land Appraisal -Jefferson County

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is soliciting proposals for an appraisal field review of a vacant parcel totaling approximately 3.39 acres of forested shoreline and uplands in Jefferson County. The primary objective is to analyze and determine the reliability of an existing appraisal report prepared by SH&H Valuation, LLC for a potential acquisition within the Dabob Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area. The selected contractor must provide one electronic review report that complies with USPAP Standard Rules 3 and 4, the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions, and specific RCO and DNR instructions. A key requirement of the field work is that the appraiser must invite the landowner or their representative to accompany them during the site inspection and document all contact efforts. Eligibility is strictly limited to appraisers currently on the DNR approved list as determined by RFQ 24-51. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a preference for certified small or veteran-owned businesses for procurements under 150,000 dollars. Proposals must be submitted electronically by October 30, 2026, and must include a detailed cost proposal identifying staff costs and anticipated hours. Awarded contractors are required to maintain primary insurance, register with the Washington Office of Financial Management, and report all payments through the Access Equity vendor management system.
