Your Clark Land Team recommends meeting with the City's staff once a week to discuss the status of Appraisals, Acquisitions, Relocations, and Permitting issues associated with the project assignment.

Clark Land utilizes communication tools such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, status tracking report, cellular phones, etc. and a proactive approach to communicating with each other and the project team. We hold regular staff and project meetings internally to update staff and management on the status of each endeavor. Continuity of personnel is paramount when working with multi -functional turnkey right of way services. For budgeting purposes, resources are evaluated every two weeks to determine if projects need more staffing to achieve project scheduling goals or less as a project winds down and requires less resources. Using these methods, your Clark Land team is known for our proactive approach to maintaining valuable relationships with our clients and developing trust from property grantors and displacees alike. Quality Assurance/Quality Control: The accuracy in property acquisitions is dependent on the interpretation of current property rights and the accuracy of survey and legal descriptions.

Our Corporate Real Estate Broker — Jim Fishinger, RWA — will be in charge of Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) and will review the documentation work of our right of way agents before the work is submitted for review.
