The City of Saratoga Springs is seeking a vendor qualified to assist with the collection and valuation of Commercial Inventory. The project will consist of existing, recently improved, and/or new construction Commercial Properties. All properties will require a new Commercial property record card, sketch, and digital photos. These will be completed in a manner consistent with accepted industry standards of appraisal practice, methods, and procedures for purposes of developing an opinion of value for existing, improved or newly constructed Commercial structures within the City of Saratoga Springs. All data items will be recorded on the Standard Office of Real Property Tax Service Form RP-3105 and comply with existing rules and regulations governing data collection. Sketching will be done to scale when possible. Parcels with multiple buildings will also require a plot plan showing the location of each building. The buildings should be numbered with the same building number recorded on the card. The plot plan need not be to scale. Photos and sketches will consist of both a digital format that can be uploaded into RPS and a paper hardcopy. Each building on a property will have its own photo. All property data collection and valuations are to be completed in a timely manner. New Commercial Property will require a full value estimate, and additional value estimates may be required as determined by the Assessor.
