Staff Report
To: Urban Renewal Commission Agenda Date: July 15, 2026
From: Kelly Hart, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Item 4.a. - Personal Services Agreement with Portland Valuation Group for the Appraisal of
Old 82nd Street ODOT Owned Right-of-Way (PS 24-011)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Award the contract and authorize the City Manager to execute the Personal Services
Agreement with Portland Valuation Group in the amount of $4,450 for appraisal services for
the appraisal of the old 82nd Street ODOT-owned right-of-way (PS 24-011).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
To add more buildable land to the parcel known as the Stimson Property, staff has been
coordinating with ODOT to transfer the right-of-way of old 82nd Street from ODOT to the City.
An appraisal of this piece of property is the next step in the transfer.
BACKGROUND:
The Urban Renewal Commission directed the city manager to sell the property known as
Stimson in 2024. An unused piece of property which is located between Stimson and Metro
is the old 82nd Street right-of-way which remains under jurisdiction or ownership of ODOT.
Since 2024, staff have been working with ODOT to obtain this piece of property. Various
steps have been completed in ODOT’s assessment. ODOT has now determined they can
convey the land solely to the City. The next step to convey the land is to complete an
appraisal.
Economic Development staff used Portland Valuation Group to appraise the property known
as Stimson. Since Portland Valuation Group is on ODOT’s allowed list of appraisers, staff has
sought a proposal from Portland Valuation Group to complete this next step.
The attached scope of work (Exhibit A) outlines the detail by which the project will move
forward through the appraisal process.
The appraisal is expected to be completed within the next few months.
This procurement follows Oregon City Municipal Code 2.40.020, which allows use of the
Attorney General Model Rules for Engineering and Architectural Services. OAR 137-048-
0200 allows for a direct appointment procedure of Related Services to an Architectural and
Engineering Services procurement, when the total contract value is under $100,000.
The total budget for the appraisal services for the appraisal of the old 82nd Street ODOT-
Page 1 of 2
Page 2 of 26
owned right-of-way (PS 24-011) is $4,450. This Personal Services Agreement is in alignment
with the project’s budget, and adequate funds are available.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Personal Services Agreement with Portland Valuation Group for the Appraisal of
Old 82nd Street ODOT Owned Right-of-Way (PS 24-011).
2. Approve Personal Services Agreement with Portland Valuation Group for the Appraisal of
Old 82nd Street ODOT Owned Right-of-Way (PS 24-011) with Amendments.
