• <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JANUARY 17, 2017 <br />TITLE: <br />AGREEMENT WITH LIDGARD AND <br />ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR REAL PROPERTY <br />APPRAISAL SERVICES <br />{STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 3,5A) <br />CIT M NAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on V' Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2 "d Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Lidgard <br />and Associates, Inc. for real property appraisal services for a three year period from January 17, <br />2017 through January 16, 2020 in a total amount not to exceed $30,000, subject to non - <br />substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In August 2016, the Public Works Agency (PWA) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for on- <br />call right -of -way coordination and property appraisal services. As a result of the RFP, City <br />Council authorized agreements for right -of -way property appraisal services with three firms, one <br />of which is Lidgard and Associates, Inc. (Lidgard). Lidgard received the highest rating in the <br />RFP. <br />Since PWA's agreement with Lidgard was specific only to right -of -way public projects, it has <br />been recommended that the City enter into a separate, real property appraisal service <br />agreement for other types of projects. In light of the recent procurement process conducted by <br />PWA, it is appropriate and acceptable to enter into a new agreement for property appraisal <br />services with the firm(s) that have been determined as qualified and experienced in the field. <br />Lidgard is willing and able to provide appraisal services for potential development projects in the <br />City at the same fee schedule as provided in their response to Public Works Agency's RFP. It is <br />unknown how many potential acquisition /development projects may require the need for property <br />appraisals. However, an existing agreement with a professional appraisal consultant will make it <br />possible to explore development options more efficiently. <br />Other departments throughout the City have utilized Lidgard in the past for a variety of projects <br />and have been satisfied with the services provided by the firm. Therefore, staff recommends the <br />agreement with Lidgard for a three -year period, commencing on January 17, 2016, in a total <br />amount not to exceed $30,000. <br />251 -1 <br />
