Statement of Qualifications City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency - Water Resources Right of Way Acquisition Services (RFP 20-091) • Document Recordation — Our Agents are familiar with the procedures and requirements of the County Recorder's Office and have assisted with the recordation of hundreds of documents over the years. Acquisition Services Right of Way Acquisition Process Following is an abbreviated description of the proposed acquisition process: The acquisition function will be led by Project Manager, Mike Flanagan, SRANA. Mike is knowledgeable in the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (URA), Title 25 and 49 CFR part 24. The acquisition task begins with the final identification of the parcels that need to be acquired. The acquisition agent will draft contracts and other required documents using forms approved by the City. Contracts, Purchase and Sale Agreements, Rights of Entry and Deeds will be prepared based on the appraisals produced for the project. After City approval of the documents prepared by Clark Land, appointments will be scheduled with each Owner in order to present the first written offer in person (in accordance, [and if allowed] with COVID restrictions). At the initial appointment, the agent will discuss the project, its overall impact on the community, their rights under the Uniform Act and attempt to answer all questions the owner may have. Owners will be presented with the summary of the basis of appraisal, the contract document and the appropriate Uniform Act brochure will be delivered to the owners. Our acquisition agents strive to make at least 3 personal visits with each grantor within the initial 30-45 days of package approvals. If relocation is required, Clark Land relocation agents will conduct their initial advisory interviews with displacees within the first week after first written offers are presented. Negotiations with Property Owners: Negotiations with each owner will continue until the contracts are signed. If an owner suggests edits to any contract language those suggestions will be cleared with the City prior to being authorized. Once a property owner has signed the purchase and sale agreement, contract and/or easement for a property, Clark Land will immediately deliver the executed documents to the City for counter signatures. Fully executed documents will be delivered to escrow whereby Clark Land will assist the escrow officer with any additional requirements necessary until the transaction is closed, conveyed and recorded. If a property owner chooses to obtain his own private appraisal, the Clark Land Agent will seek to obtain a copy of that report and supply the copy to the City for consideration. Administrative Settlements and Condemnation: From time -to -time, an owner may refuse to grant the required rights to the City. If after good faith negotiations have been conducted for a reasonable period, no agreement is reached and negotiations reach impasse, this information will be reported to the City. Clark Land team members are familiar with administrative settlements and eminent domain. Taking direction from the City, Clark Land will attempt to settle any outstanding acquisitions, report owner demands or propose logical compromises to the City. All administrative settlements will be preapproved by the City prior to presentation to a property owner. Should condemnation be required, Clark Land team members are experienced with preparation of Notices of Intent (NOI) to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity (RON) and statutory time frames for sending those notices to the property owners. (The cost for these services is not included in the cost estimate [which is provided separately from this proposal]. If required, Clark Land will develop an amendment to the current task order with an estimate of the costs for these services.) 25D-283 Page 11 of 19 1 Clark Land Resources, Inc. (WBE/SB)
