9. Provide other services, as necessary, to finalize the easement transaction.

The contractor will provide the above-listed items to the designated NRCS contact identified on the attachment to this statement of work.

IV. STANDARDS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The acquisition of the conservation easement and any access easement is governed by the following requirements:

a. Regulations of the Attorney General Governing the Review and Approval of Title for Federal Land Acquisitions (2016)

b. NRCS regulations and policies governing the NRCS program under which the easement is being acquired.

The contractor will perform the same services that are customarily provided in a commercial transaction, including chain of title, determination of ownership and interest share of surface and subsurface rights, securing and providing all underlying documents, obtaining and recording deeds, and any necessary curative instruments to ensure merchantable, insurable title to the conservation easement are in the name of the United States of America. The contractor is responsible for having up-to-date knowledge of the requirements of California’s laws on title searches, closing real estate transactions, and title clearance. The title insurance company and its issuing agents must comply with California’s laws, including title insurance reserve requirements. The contractor must be licensed to do title insurance business in California. The title insurance company must be approved by the State’s insurance commissioner.

The contractor must obtain a valid Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.SAM.gov for the duration of the contract to provide closing services to the NRCS.

The contractor must provide evidence of liability insurance coverage or indemnification in an amount equal to the amount of Federal funds for each easement satisfactory to NRCS, acting on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation, providing for reimbursement to NRCS for any loss of Federal funds caused by errors, omissions, fraud, dishonesty, negligence, or failure by the attorneys, agents, or closing agent employees to comply with NRCS’s written closing instructions. The ALTA closing protection letter, revised 4/2/2014, is satisfactory to meet this condition of responsibility. Evidence of liability insurance must be provided prior to award.

V. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

A. Preliminary Title Report

The contractor must provide the following:

http://www.sam.gov/

1. Copies of all instruments that created rights, interests, or encumbrances on the proposed easement property.

2. Preliminary title report, which must cover the entire proposed conservation easement area and the access for ingress and egress to the easement area.

3. The preliminary title report and copies of all instruments that created rights, interests, or encumbrances on the proposed conservation easement property must be provided within 21 business days of receiving the request from NRCS.

The preliminary title report must identify all owners of record, outstanding mortgages, liens, judgments or pending suits, outstanding tax claims, easements or rights-of-way of any type, including oil, gas, and mineral interests that have been severed, any water right interests, and any other exceptions that may cloud the title of the conservation easement to be purchased. The search must show ownership interest of the surface and subsurface rights including oil, gas, coal, sand, gravel, and other minerals associated with the property. The preliminary title report must include a legible copy of all underlying documents of any type, whether oil, gas, or mineral interests have been severed, mortgages, bankruptcies, and any other exceptions that may cloud the title of the conservation easement to be purchased.

The contractor will be provided with the name, address, and telephone number of the landowner, a copy of the current ownership documentation as provided by the landowner to NRCS, a location map of the proposed easement area, and the proposed access route for ingress and egress.

Not every preliminary title report obtained by NRCS will result in an order for the closing services outlined in Section B. NRCS might not ultimately purchase an easement on the properties for which it obtains a preliminary title report. NRCS may elect not to make an offer to the landowner based on an eligibility review. NRCS may withdraw an offer to landowners if NRCS lacks funding, landowners are unable to provide clear title or sufficient legal access, or for other reasons as determined by NRCS. The agreement to purchase the conservation easement may also expire or the landowners may elect to cancel the agreement with NRCS.

If NRCS intends to proceed with the acquisition of an easement and orders closing services identified in Section B., NRCS may require the contractor to execute a separate acknowledgement for individual transactions, affirming that it will comply with all of the requirements set forth in Exhibit A. hereto, “Closing Agent Requirements,” for that transaction. If the contractor hires a subcontractor to complete the closing services outlined in Section B., the contractor may be required to provide NRCS an executed acknowledgement of the “Closing Agent Requirements” from the subcontractor.

B. Title Commitment & Closing Services

After receiving a survey and legal description of the conservation easement from NRCS, the contractor must provide a title commitment, which must cover both the easement area and access for ingress and egress. No other title product may be substituted in place of the title commitment. The title commitment must be provided to the designated NRCS contact identified on the attachment to this statement of work within 14 business days of receiving the request from NRCS. In the event of easement boundary or acreage changes, after the completion of the survey, the title commitment must be updated to provide adequate owner’s coverage.

The title commitment must be provided from a closing agent operating with a licensed title insurance company authorized by law and by the State insurance commissioner to issue title insurance policies in California. The amount of the owner’s coverage should be listed as the easement purchase price. The title commitment must be for a sufficient period of time for the title company to insure the title without objectionable exceptions and must identify all owners of record, outstanding mortgages, liens, judgments or pending suits, outstanding tax claims, easements or rights-of-way of any type, including oil, gas, and mineral interests that have been severed, any water right interests, and any other exceptions that may cloud the title of the conservation easement to be purchased.

The title commitment must show ownership interest of the surface and subsurface rights including oil, gas, coal, sand, gravel, and other minerals associated with the property. The title commitment must include a legible copy of all underlying documents of any type, whether oil, gas, or mineral interests have been severed, mortgages, bankruptcies, and any other exceptions that may cloud the title of the conservation easement to be purchased.

Upon receipt of the title commitment, NRCS will forward the title commitment and other related documentation to the USDA Office of the General Counsel (OGC) regional attorney for a preliminary title opinion (PTO). If any outstanding issues remain, NRCS will work with OGC to determine which exceptions are acceptable and which exceptions must be cured.

The title commitment must not contain an exception related to the terms and conditions of the NRCS warranty easement deed to be recorded at closing.

NRCS will provide the NRCS closing instructions and the applicable instructions from the OGC PTO identifying the requirements that must be met before the easement can be closed. The contractor must communicate with NRCS and the landowner regarding proper procedures for the landowner to clear exceptions and the contractor must obtain the execution of documents such as releases, subordinations, full or partial satisfaction for mortgages, lien waivers, affidavits of materialmen’s liens, child support, and other types of releases of encumbrances on the property.

The contractor must establish an escrow account in an FDIC insured account for the payment of the conservation easement associated with the closing and include the escrow account banking information in their System for Award Management (SAM) registration.

The contractor will be responsible for Form 1099 reporting of the conservation easement payment to the IRS. NRCS will prepare documentation needed to authorize payment to the escrow account when notified of the closing date. In certain cases, as stated in the NRCS closing instructions, the contractor may be required to withhold a portion of the payment for property taxes or assessments that are not yet determined or payable in an escrow account and process payments when due.

The contractor is required to close within 30 calendar days of receipt of the Federal funds from the U.S Treasury by electronic funds transfer. The contractor will not close any transaction or record deeds or other instruments prior to receiving the NRCS closing instructions letter and OGC PTO requirements.

Prior to closing the easement, the contractor must ensure that the following have occurred:

1. No new encumbrances have been recorded against the subject property since the date of the most recent title commitment, no adverse change in title has occurred, and there are no intervening matters affecting title that might result in a new title exception to the policy. If any new encumbrances have been recorded against the subject property or other adverse changes in title have occurred since the date of the most recent title commitment, notify the NRCS technical representative immediately and do not proceed until further instructions are received. The contractor may be required to provide an updated title commitment to confirm all title requirements will be met at or prior to closing.

2. The contractor has received the electronic funds transfer of the conservation easement payment in his or her escrow account.

3. The contractor is prepared to issue the policy of title insurance referred below.

4. All exceptions required to be removed, released, subordinated, waived, or otherwise handled as set forth in the NRCS closing instructions have been completed and the applicable clearance documents recorded, and all other requirements met. Proposed subordination agreements, satisfactions, releases, partial releases, and other title curative documents to be signed at closing will be provided to NRCS for review and approval at least 3 business days prior to closing.

5. Compliance with any listed title commitment requirements.

6. Review the Warranty Easement Deed according to the NRCS closing instructions and ensure the proper names and marital status are correct.

7. The contractor must provide a copy of the proposed HUD-1 settlement statement to NRCS for review and approval as least 3 business days prior to closing.

The contractor must schedule the execution of the NRCS warranty easement deed with the landowner at a mutually agreed upon location and time. The preferred location is the local NRCS service center; however, the deed execution may take place at any agreed upon location. The contractor must obtain a properly executed and acknowledged warranty easement deed from the landowner(s) conveying the conservation easement, including the associated ingress and egress to the easement area. The contractor must ensure that the deed contains all required signatures, release of dower rights, and that all signatures are in proper form and have been acknowledged, that the acknowledgement certificates are in proper form and have been completed correctly, and that the warranty easement deed contains all of the necessary exhibits. The contractor must also obtain NRCS signatures on the warranty easement deed.

When the signed documents are returned, the contractor must record the deeds and other instruments as necessary, and ensure the following have occurred:

1. The contractor must ensure that no new encumbrances have been placed on the property prior to recording the warranty easement deed.

2. NRCS receives an electronic copy of the executed deed.

Said policy of title insurance must be free and clear of any and all encumbrances to the title except those shown as acceptable in the NRCS closing instructions and insure the United States’ interest in the easement area and the right of ingress-egress thereto. The final policy should reflect the execution and recording information pertaining to the insured easement, such as:

“30-Year or Perpetual Easement granted by to United States of America, by Warranty Easement Deed dated and recorded in Deed Record pages in the Office of the Recorder of County,__________.”

6. Complete IRS tax reporting Form 1099 for the full easement compensation amount, as identified in the warranty easement deed, issued to the appropriate parties.

If necessary corrections were originally identified in the NRCS closing agent requirements form or NRCS closing instructions, such corrections must be done at no additional cost to NRCS and returned to the NRCS technical representative within 14 days of notification of such issue. Upon receipt of an OGC FTO indicating that all NRCS closing instruction and OGC PTO requirements have been met, NRCS will process the contractor’s payment for closing services.
