Request for Appraisal Services Proposal
Cityside Management is currently accepting proposals from FHA appraisers in Louisiana and Arkansas to provide professional services consisting of HUD REO single family appraisals. Although HUD owned homes are mostly single units, the single family category as defined by HUD includes one to four unit properties and an occasion vacant lot. Cityside must cover all Counties and Parishes. Appraisers with far reaching capabilities will have an advantage in the process. There are currently 21 appraisers covering all areas of the two states. Cityside does not anticipate increasing this number. Awards will be made on a best value basis to appraisers found to be technically qualified offering adequate capacity and geographic coverage and the best price. Cityside reserves the right to further negotiate price, terms, or geographic areas after submission of proposals. The deadline for submission and receipt of proposals is 5:00 PM on September 18, 2008
