To ensure a consistent level of quality in timber appraisal reports and reduce administrative costs, the Suwannee River Water Management District maintains a list of appraisers who are pre-qualified for District assignments. Applicants should be knowledgeable in the use of the sales comparison approach, income approach and cost approach when providing timber value data for use in real estate appraisal reports.

After qualifications are received and reviewed by District staff, a list of timber appraisers will be submitted to the District s Governing Board for approval. These approved appraisers will receive Requests for Bids for timber appraisal work to be done during the upcoming Fiscal Year 2008-2009. This list can be re-approved on a yearly basis for up to two additional years upon mutual agreement of District and Appraisers.

**Request for Qualifications documents and Respondent forms will be available for download by June 6, 2008.**
