Background Information:
The City issued a solicitation for real estate appraisal services for the purpose of contracting with qualified firms to provide on-call as-needed appraisal services. On November 15, 2018, nine (9) Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) were received for On-Call Appraisal Services, RFQ 218-283. A City-staffed evaluation committee evaluated each SOQ, which resulted in a final selection of the five (5) most highly qualified firms to contract for these on-call services:
• Eckmann Groll, Inc., located in San Antonio, Texas
• Atrium Real Estate Services located in Austin, Texas
• Allegiant Group, PLLC, located in Austin, Texas
• The Aegis Group, Inc., located in Austin, Texas
• BBG, Inc., located in San Antonio, Texas
Master Agreements with each of the selected firms will be in effect for a period of six (6) years from the date of City Council approval for these services on a per project as needed basis. Project scope and fee will be negotiated per project. Services include real estate appraisal services in Hays, Caldwell, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties as well as other parts of Central Texas as requested by the City. All services will be performed by persons appropriately licensed as a Certified General Appraiser.
These services are being made in compliance with Federal, State, and Local statutory requirements, to include the Federal Funding and Accountability Transparency Act (“FFATA”) for Grant #B-16-MH-48-0002, Public Law 114-113, under the United States Development of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (“CDBG-DR”) grant programs. Each selected firm will be cognizant of all other external requirements for each of the program components, including but not limited to, Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), and other federal and state agency requirements. Additional funding from the Texas Water Development Board’s (“TWDB”) Clean Water State Revolving Fund (“CWSRF”) may be utilized to plan and implement flood damage reduction measures. Therefore, the City must meet State and Federal requirements for the distribution of these funds. Additionally, the City has applied for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funding and the selected firms may be required to comply with associated requirements.
