This contract provides Sedgwick County with tax‑foreclosure title‑search services. The county supplies parcel lists; the vendor must produce certified Certificates of Title, compile detailed spreadsheets referencing deeds, mortgages, liens, and obtain current property addresses from at least three independent sources. Deliverables include original and copy of each Certificate of Title (PDF acceptable) and copies of underlying documents. The work is divided into two primary installments each year, with the first installment due 60 days after receipt of the October parcel list and the second 30 days later. The contract is for one year with two optional one‑year renewals, and the county incurs no direct cost because fees are passed to the eventual buyer/redeemer of the foreclosed property.
• Scope: Title searches, certificates, and supporting document provision for tax‑foreclosure parcels.
• Timeline: Lists delivered early October; first installment due within 60 days, second installment 30 days after.
• Vendor requirement: Minimum 10 years experience, ability to source addresses from ≥3 outlets, and compliance with insurance/indemnity clauses.
