Right-of-Way Appraisal Services

The Marion County government authority in Salem, Oregon is seeking professional right-of-way appraisal services to support property acquisition for upcoming transportation projects. The agency needs to determine fair market value and assess the financial impacts of acquiring real property, including both full and partial acquisitions. This work will help the agency resolve property valuation challenges, secure necessary land rights, and establish legally defensible valuations for public infrastructure development. The scope of work requires the selected provider to perform independent appraisals of real property and evaluate impacts to land, structures, improvements, access rights, and related property interests. The provider must apply appropriate appraisal methodologies in compliance with all applicable laws and professional standards. Additionally, the agency requires the preparation of clear, accurate, and defensible appraisal reports suitable for internal agency review and potential legal proceedings. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States. The agency requires all appraisal work to be performed offsite at the provider's own office premises. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services.
