Environmental Enforcement Title Searches

Escambia County Environmental Code Enforcement is seeking quotes for Marketable Record Title Act (MRTA) title searches through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) released on September 4, 2025. The procurement requires 30-year title searches equivalent to a warranty deed, with a mandatory 10-business day return time for multiple individual title searches throughout Fiscal Year 10-1-2025 to 9-30-2026. Vendors must submit electronic quotes through OpenGov Procurement by creating a free account and following specified submission instructions. The key deliverable is comprehensive title searches that will support the county's environmental code enforcement efforts. Submission deadlines are critical, with questions due by September 9, 2025, and quotes due by September 11, 2025, at 12:00 pm. Bidders are required to confirm understanding of the quote request, validate pricing, and provide supporting documentation including a W-9 and proof of active Sunbiz registration. The volume of title searches will fluctuate based on the department's workload, with the primary contact being Chinnia Moore, Service Coordinator in the Natural Resources Department.

The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical requirements and submission guidelines. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will cover title searches throughout the fiscal year, suggesting a potential ongoing engagement. The pricing structure allows vendors to specify their own quantity and unit cost for title searches. The county will likely evaluate responses based on completeness of documentation, pricing, and ability to meet the 10-business day turnaround requirement. Vendors must be registered with Sunbiz and able to provide professional title search services for environmental code enforcement purposes. The contract will be executed through the Natural Resources Department, located at 3363 W Park Place, Pensacola, FL 32505, indicating a local procurement focused on supporting Escambia County's environmental management needs.
