On-Call Property Title Search

Clackamas County, Oregon, is seeking on-call property title search services through a Request for Quotes (RFQ #2021-94) for various county departments and potentially other state agencies. The procurement aims to establish multiple contracts with consultants who can provide comprehensive title-related services, including lot book reports, preliminary title reports, title opinion letters, and copies of recorded documents pertaining to properties within Oregon. Quotes were originally due on November 3, 2021, at 2:00 PM, though the RFQ was subsequently cancelled to re-examine the scope of work. The evaluation criteria for potential contractors will include factors such as firm experience, staff qualifications, proposed fees, and professional references. Prospective vendors must submit a detailed quote package containing an executive summary, list of offered services, key personnel information, a comprehensive fee schedule, and professional references demonstrating their capability to perform complex property title research and documentation services.

While specific set-aside designations were not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the contract is structured as a three-year on-call arrangement with an annual contract limit of $45,000 per consultant. The procurement is designed to be flexible, with individual task orders issued by the County to define specific scope and compensation for title search work. The contract will be open for usage among all Clackamas County Departments and potentially other state agencies, suggesting a broad potential utilization of these services. Interested vendors should be prepared to provide a range of title-related research and documentation services with professional expertise in property records, legal documentation, and comprehensive title investigation. The County's intent to reissue the RFQ indicates a continued and ongoing need for these specialized title search services, with potential for multiple vendors to be selected to meet the county's diverse property research requirements.
