1.2 Background

The City of Raleigh (“City”), the Capital City of North Carolina, remains one of the fastest

growing areas in the country. A great economy, top educational institutions, and

exceptional health care facilities are some of the characteristics that attract people to the

triangle area. The mild climate, diverse work force and proximity to Research Triangle

Park combine to make Raleigh a great place to live.

Raleigh is a 21st Century City of Innovation focusing on environmental, cultural, and

economic sustainability. The City conserves and protects our environmental resources

through best practice and cutting-edge conservation and stewardship, land use,

infrastructure and building technologies. The City welcomes growth and diversity through

policies and programs that will protect and enhance Raleigh’s existing neighborhoods,

natural amenities, history, and cultural and human resources for future generations. The

City leads to improve quality of life for neighborhoods and standard of living for all citizens.

The City works with universities, colleges, citizens, and local partners to promote new

technology, create new job opportunities, and encourage local businesses and

entrepreneurs. The City enlists and prepares 21st Century staff with the skill sets to carry

out the duties of the City through transparent civic engagement and by providing the very

best customer service to our citizens.

The selected firm will serve as the City’s property appraisal provider and will assist the

Risk Management Division in establishing reliable replacement cost and/or market value

estimates for various municipal facilities and properties. These valuations are necessary

to ensure appropriate insurance coverage levels, support claims management, maintain

compliance with financial reporting requirements, and assist the City in effectively

managing potential risk exposures.

The initial contract year will include a full, City-wide inspection and appraisal of all

properties, followed by an annual trending or “desktop” analysis for subsequent contract

years.

The anticipated contract period for these appraisal services is five (5) years commencing

with the date that the award is effective January 1, 2027, with an option to extend the

contract period for one (1) additional five (5) year extension at the City’s discretion. The

first full appraisal shall be completed no later than March 1, 2027, and the subsequent

trending analysis appraisals shall be delivered by February 1 each of the following (4) four

years.

Through this competitive procurement process, the City seeks to identify a firm with

demonstrated expertise in public-sector property appraisal, knowledge of applicable

appraisal standards, and the capacity to perform timely, thorough, and professional

valuation services for a diverse portfolio of municipal assets.
