Body
BACKGROUND:
The agreement with Teague Nall and Perkins (“TNP”) is to provide as-needed Real Estate and Right-of-Way (“ROW”) Management services. TNP will oversee the acquisition of real estate, primarily right-of-way and easement purchases, and will coordinate all necessary steps to complete transactions efficiently and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
On February 14, 2025, the City issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for these services. Notifications were posted online, previous and interested vendors were contacted, as well as advertisements placed in the Dallas Morning News. Submissions were due on March 4, 2025. Twelve (12) vendors submitted qualification packets.
The Engineering Department reviewed and evaluated the submissions, ultimately selecting Teague Nall and Perkins based on criteria related to qualifications on similar projects, references and cost. The award will be for a one-year initial term. The award also includes two additional one-year renewal options, if mutually agreed upon by the City and the vendor, for a potential three-year total contract not to exceed $450,000.00.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The services on RFQ #25-035 will be purchased from budgeted funds for various cost centers and amounts as required by capital projects and other departments. The accounts include, but are not limited to, Streets (854460), Drainage (854560), Utilities (855160), Parks (854360), and Public Safety (854155).
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project supports and aligns with the City Council’s goals and objectives to manage infrastructure with fiduciary care.
