RFQ ROW Appraisal Services

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is issuing Request for Qualifications S-73000-00017259 to establish a Qualified Appraisers List (QAL) for professional Right-of-Way appraisal services. This program is designed to pre-qualify appraisers for transportation property acquisition work, including complex real property valuations and eminent domain appraisals that may require court testimony. Qualified consultants will be eligible for future assignments across various ODOT regions, including the Portland Metro, Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon, Central Oregon, and Eastern Oregon. To be considered for the QAL, applicants must be actively licensed state certified general real estate appraisers in Oregon. The evaluation process involves a pass/fail review of minimum qualifications, including education and experience, followed by a detailed assessment of the applicant's appraisal volume over the last five years and a review of three work samples. Selected consultants must adhere to professional standards of care, provide property owners with 15 days written notice prior to inspections, and comply with various federal and state regulations, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. While this RFQ establishes the pool of qualified providers, specific compensation and not-to-exceed amounts will be determined during individual contract executions.
