FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 21, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE SECOND CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR LAND
ACQUISITION SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider a second amendment to the contract for land
acquisition services with Teague, Nall, and Perkins, Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funding for this purchase is limited to the operating budgeted amount by
each department in an amount not to exceed $50,000.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this contract was to establish third party support for
acquisition of property required by the City for capital projects on an as -
needed basis. These services included necessary surveying, exhibits,
appraisal, negotiation, title curative, and closing support. Staff anticipated
that the originally approved $100,000 fee would support up to 15 parcels
depending on the complexity of the acquisition. Since the award of the
contract on October 3, 2017, 10 task orders have been created for a total
of $97,000 in expenses. An additional $50,000 was awarded on October
2, 2018 and nine additional task orders were created for a total of $49,500
in expenses.
Staff recommends an additional $50,000 be awarded to Teague, Nall and
Perkins for future land acquisition services. Staff intends to use this
contract in support of capital projects with an emphasis on utility projects
and other City Council supported initiatives.
Staff recommends approval.
