Time-Adjustment Factor Development

The Florida Department of Revenue intends to award a single-source contract to Robert J. Gloudemans for the development of time-adjustment factors to support equitable and uniform property valuation across county assessment rolls, pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 120.057(3). This action follows a public solicitation conducted through the DMS Vendor Bid System from April 7 to April 28, 2026, which received no vendor responses, thereby justifying a sole-source award based on Gloudemans’ unique and non-replicable expertise in developing time-adjustment factors, a methodology recognized by the International Association of Assessing Officers and integral to Florida’s statutory compliance under Section 195.096. The Notice of Intended Decision was posted on April 30, 2026, initiating a mandatory 72-hour protest window ending on May 5, 2026, excluding weekends and holidays, during which any protest must be filed to avoid waiving rights under Chapter 120. Failure to file a timely protest or bond will result in the automatic waiver of statutory remedies. The contract, identified as SS #25/26-28 and classified under NAICS code 80131802 for real estate appraisal and valuation services, carries a fixed lump-sum value of $120,000 for services to be performed statewide in Florida. The scope involves advanced statistical analysis of property sales data to generate county- and property-type-specific time-adjustment factors that align assessed values with the statutory January 1 assessment date, improving the reliability of ratio studies and reducing reliance on costly mass appraisals. Robert J. Gloudemans is designated as the sole qualified individual to perform this work due to his foundational role in developing this methodology and his longstanding engagement with the Florida Department of Revenue since 2009. No competitive evaluation, weighted factors, or formal performance metrics apply; the award rests entirely on statutory exception for lack of competition and unique expertise. The Department of Revenue, through Shelly Hyde as the primary point of contact, will manage oversight, with no federal acquisition regulations, packaging requirements, or standard contract clauses governing the transaction. Acceptance of deliverables occurs through state-level review, with no FOB terms or physical delivery elements, and no formal contracting officer or technical representative designations are documented beyond administrative contacts.
