DISCUSSION: The City currently has a contract with Linebarger for the collection of delinquent property taxes and other miscellaneous delinquent revenues. This contract will expire on June 30, 2010. Anticipating the upcoming contract expiration, staff issued a Request for Proposals on March 4, 2010 for attorneys and/or law firms to collect delinquent property taxes for the City of Fort Worth and to assist as requested in the collection of delinquent hotel/motel taxes, bankruptcy claims and other miscellaneous delinquent accounts. The City received proposals from two firms; (1)the Joint Venture of Perdue, Brackett, Flores, Utt and Burns (Perdue JV); and (2) Linebarger. An evaluation team composed of staff from the City Attorney's Office, Financial Management Services, and Housing and Economic Development Departments reviewed the submissions and conducted interviews with both firms. Evaluation criteria included collection rates, qualifications and experience, completeness and quality of the response, M/WBE compliance as well as staff and technology resources. Based on the evaluations and interviews, staff recommends executing a five year contract with Linebarger based on the following: 1. Linebarger has extensive qualifications and experience collecting for clients similar to the City of Fort Worth and currently collects for the largest taxing entities in Texas. 2. Linebarger has a Fort Worth Office of experienced professional with impressive credentials and proposes to have a dedicated Fort Worth Collection Team of almost 80 employees to enhance collection efforts. 3. Linebarger's Fort Worth office has strong technology resources and is online with the County Tax Office, County District Clerk and various bankruptcy courts throughout the nation. 4. Linebarger's Fort Worth office collects for 45 taxing jurisdictions in Tarrant County and having the City's collections with the same firm should enhance collection efforts. M/WBE - Linebarger Goggan Blair& Sampson, LLP, is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordiance by committing to twenty percent(20 percent) M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 20 percent. TERM - Following Council approval, the contract will begin July 1, 2010 and expire June 30, 2015. RENEWAL OPTIONS -This contract may be renewed for up to five successive one-year terms at the City's option.
