The City routinely constructs various roadway widening and other public improvement projects, which require real estate title and escrow services for property acquisitions and title search, These services include preliminary title reports, litigation guarantees, basic title Insurance, and other escrow services. On December 24, 2014, the Public Works Agency released a Bequest for Proposal (RFP) to qualified consulting firms to provide on -call real estate title and escrow services. Staff encouraged wider participation by contacting twelve companies by telephone and direotly emalling the RFP, as well. However, staff found that many companies are not equipped to provide the services required by a public agency for projects on the scale of Bristol Street, Warner Avenue, or Grand Avenue improvements, Consequently, only two proposals were received and evaluated by a review committee from the Public Works Agency. Each of the firms was rated according to its qualifications, experience, references, and capacity to perform the required work. The following is a summary of the two firms and their respective scores: FIRM RATING 1. First American Title Company 97 2. Commonwealth Land Title Company 94 25F -1 Agreements for On -Call Real Estate Title and Escrow Services April 7, 2015 Page 2 Based on rating and experience, both firms are equipped and capable of meeting the City's needs for these types of services. Both firms offer competitive pricing for producing preliminary title reports, escrow services, and basic title insurance. First American Title Company offers a better rate for producing preliminary title reports, while Commonwealth Land Title Company offers a better rate for escrow services and basic title insurance. Staff recommends that both firms be retained to support the City's public improvement projects.
