Title and Closing Services for Region 1

The Master Agreement PL211 provides comprehensive land acquisition real estate title and closing services for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's state property acquisitions. The contract encompasses a full range of title-related products and services including title searches and commitments, ownership and encumbrance reports, title insurance policies, and closing services. Additional services available under the contract include specialized offerings such as senior closer and closer support services on-site and off-site, general title research, expert witness services, and quick response products. Services are delivered on a task assignment basis across multiple geographic regions within Florida, enabling the Department to procure specific title and closing services for individual land acquisition parcels as needed without a guaranteed minimum volume of work.

Mathews Law Firm, P.A., located in Tallahassee, Florida, serves as the prime contractor under this Master Agreement indefinite delivery vehicle administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The contract was executed on April 29, 2010, with an initial term extending through April 28, 2013, and was subsequently extended through April 28, 2015 via Amendment No. 1. The contract operates on a fixed-fee and hourly rate structure with fees for standard services ranging from $72.75 to $425.00 per parcel depending on service type, and hourly rates varying from $43.65 to $97.00 per hour for specialized services. The contract covers geographic regions designated within Florida and operates as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle without a specific total contract value, allowing services to be procured through individual task assignments as the Department's land acquisition needs arise.
