PURPOSE

The City of Joplin is seeking proposals from qualified Bidders to provide professional

services for the valuation assessment of city-owned buildings and facilities. Services shall

include researching properties, inspecting, valuation, inventory and cataloging of assets, and

pictures of properties and contents. This assessment will assist in determining the current

market value of these structures, properties and contents for insurance replacement or

rebuilding purposes. The City’s property liability policy period is from April 7th to April 6th

annually.

This RFP provides prospective companies with sufficient information to enable them to

prepare and submit proposals for consideration by the City of Joplin (hereafter referred to as

“the City”) to satisfy the needs as outlined in the scope of services.

BACKGROUND

The City of Joplin owns a diverse portfolio of over 100 buildings and properties, including

administrative offices, parks and recreational facilities, public safety and public works plants.

These are included in an excel spreadsheet called a Statement of Values (SOV). However,

the City does not have adequate records or asset management system with historical records

of deeds and purchase records in a centralized location. A copy of the SOV will be made

available in the City’s bid website http://www.joplinmo.org/bids.aspx
