With the Spot Blight initiative using the Uniform Relocation Act it is required that an appraisal and appraisal review be done to determine value of home in the current condition.  With an estimated scope of no more than 40 properties, this entire program can be handled in house with city staff support coordinated by the DR Program Director rather than needing to add any further scope of work to the CDM Smith contract through the offer and offer acceptance process.  Therefore, it is needed to seek to procure 2 assessors separate and apart from the subcontract currently with CDM Smith.

It is recommended the City Council approve the preparation and issuance of an RFP for Spot Blight Appraisers by DR Program Manager.
