and Chicago Title Company for On -Call Real Estate Title and Escrow Services in an
Aggregate Amount Not to Exceed $300,000 for up to a Five -Year Term
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Commonwealth Land Title
Company, Fidelity National Title Company, and Chicago Title Company for on -call real
estate title and escrow services for a three-year term beginning March 2, 2021 and
expiring March 1, 2024, with two, one-year extensions exercisable by the City Manager
and City Attorney, for a total shared aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000 for the
term of the agreement, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager
and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City routinely has roadway enhancements and other public improvement projects,
which require real estate, and title and escrow services, for property acquisitions and title
searches. Approval of this item will allow the City to retain Commonwealth Land Title
Company, Fidelity National Title, and Chicago Title Company to provide real estate title,
escrow, and related services for various Capital Improvement Projects and for other
facilities that will be utilized by the public under the direction of City staff. In addition to
real estate title, escrow, and related services, the firms will provide preliminary title
reports, litigation guarantees, title insurance coverage assistance, and purchase
agreement review.
On September 28, 2020, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals No.
20-123 on the City's online procurement portal, PlanetBids, soliciting proposals from
qualified firms for on -call real estate title and escrow services. Three proposals were
received on October 12, 2020. All proposals were deemed responsive and were
subsequently evaluated and ranked by a review committee composed of personnel from
the Public Works Agency CIP Engineering staff. Ranking criteria included relevant project
experience, firm experience, understanding of need, schedule of delivery, and references.
In accordance with the Qualifications Based Selection process, the fee schedules were

opened after the proposal evaluations were completed. The ranking of the firms is as
follows:

City
Rank
Commonwealth Land Title Company
Newport Beach

Fidelity National Title

2
Chicago Title Company
Irvine

The proposals by Commonwealth Land Title Company, Fidelity National Title, and
Chicago Title Company demonstrate the firms have the necessary labor capacity to
complete the requested services to meet expedited grant -driven deadlines. The firms'
rates are reasonable and within industry standard, the team qualifications are appropriate
for this project, and the proposals were found to provide the best value for the City. Staff
recommends awarding agreements to Commonwealth Land Title Company, Fidelity
National Title, and Chicago Title Company (Exhibits 1 through 3) to provide on -call real
estate title and escrow services based upon the scope of work and selection criteria
outlined in RFP 20-123 (Exhibit 4).
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this time. Prior to utilizing any of these on -call services, Public
Works Agency staff must receive Finance and Management Services Agency approval
of funding and accounts to be used to ensure funds are available under the authorization
and shared aggregate limit of $300,000. Upon successful completion of the fiscal review,
a corresponding Notice to Proceed containing the specific scope and maximum
expenditure for the task order will be issued.

Understanding of Need
iequests from our clients for title work will typically be emailed to the title unit requesting
title report or research on specific areas or parcels that may or may not lead to the
suance of a title insurance policy. Title will ask what the purpose of the report is. For
example an Owner's Policy, a Litigation Guarantee, a Subdivision Guarantee, a chain of
title or a report for informational purposes only. This information is necessary as it will
affect the fee for the proposed title work/title reports. Title will request that the legal
ascriptions, assessor parcel numbers and/or depictions of the property to be searched
e provided if possible. If not easily available, title will assist in helping to identify the
property/properties in question and will assist in confirming ownership of various parcels.
Title can also assist in identifying property ownership by an owner's name as well.
irm quotes for title insurance policies, litigation guarantees and escrow services can be
provided once the liability amounts and sales prices are known.
The timeline to produce a preliminary report is typically from 7 to 10 business days.
Occasionally more time may be required due to the complexity or the need to retrieve
documents that Ere not readily available in our title plant. This frequently occurs when
searching right-df ways, government -owned properties, and properties that have not
been previously insured or have been insured many years in the past. For this reason it
is not possible to provide a quote for title work without first analyzing the sites and areas
i question. This analysis will typically take a few days at which time we will be able to
rovide a firm title quote for the work. The cost for a title insurance policy will be
rovided based on the liability amount of the policy that will be issued and are shown in
the Fee Proposal that is included in this proposal. The cost for escrow services will be
used
on the sales price. Title policies are typically issued within 48 hours after the close
escrow.

Fee Proposo[ - Rates and Fees
Title insurance premiums are based on the type of title insurance coverage including litigation
guarantees if requested, policies to be issued and the liability amount(s) for such policies or
guarantees. Pricing, for the issuance of a preliminary report or commitment without subsequent
issuance of a title policy is explained below. Firm quotes can be provided when the specific
scol�e of work has been defined, the requested product has been determined, the amount of
covgrage and endorsements (if any) has been established, and the complexity of the project
has een reviewed and analyzed by the Company. Consideration is given as to when the
prop rty/properties ip question were last insured, the size of the sites in question, and Other
matters that may affbct the amount of time required to search and examine the title for the
property, etc. Samoles of products that are offered are: Preliminary Reports, Commitments,
Standard Coverage Policies of Title Insurance, Extended coverage ALTA PoldcieS of Title
Insurance Policies and Litigation Guarantees.
The timeline to produce a preliminary report is typically from 7 to 10 business
days. Occasionally more time may be required due to the complexity or the need to retrieve
documents that are not readily available in our title plant. This frequently occurs when searching
right of ways, government -owned properties, and properties that have not been previously
insu ed. For this reason it is not possible to provide a quote for title reports without first
analyzing the sites and areas in questions. This analysis will typically take a few days at which
time�we will be able to provide a firm title quote for the work. The cost for a title insurance policy
will e provided based on the liability amount of the policy that will be issued. Title policies are
typic liy issued within 48 hours of closing.
Our fees for insurance products and escrow services are attached. All other title work will be
quot�d on a per project basis. We only charge an hourly rate when plotted easements are
requested. The cost;of endorsements are based on the liability amount of each title policy.
Fidelity National Titio Insurance is a title insurance company and our fees are filed with the
California Department of Insurance.
