Contracting

For acquisition appraisals, the Local Agency must use a prequalified consultant from MDOT’s list (49 CFR 24.103(d)(1)). The Agency does not need to use a pre-qualified appraiser if the appraisal is for the disposal of property. For acquisition and relocation, the Agency does not need to use a prequalified consultant; however, we highly recommend the person performing these duties has an understanding of the Uniform Act, federal and state laws, and the MDOT Real Estate Procedure Manual.
