Description
California Department of Transportation is seeking up to two qualified title and escrow companies to provide on‑call, as‑needed services for property acquisitions in Tehama County. The work will be performed under a multi‑provider arrangement, meaning multiple firms may be awarded and called upon as projects arise. Services include title searches, title‑insurance policies, litigation guarantees, escrow administration, and related reconveyance or subordination tasks, all on a rapid turnaround basis (typically 30‑90 days). Bidders must hold a current California Department of Insurance title and escrow license and meet all insurance, bonding, and certification requirements. The contract is estimated to run for five years, with a three‑year “new‑order” window and the possibility of a one‑year extension to complete pending escrows.
• Title‑search, title‑insurance, litigation‑guarantee and escrow services on an on‑call basis for Caltrans projects in Tehama County.
• Multiple providers may be awarded; work is task‑order driven with no guaranteed volume.
• Minimum qualifications: valid CA title & escrow license, required insurance, and compliance with state procurement certifications (SB/MB, DVBE, civil‑rights, etc.).
