COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/22/2010

CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize a Professional Services Contract with Linebarger Goggan Blair& Sampson,
LLP, for Collection of Delinquent Taxes and Liens at no Cost to the City
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a five year contract with the
law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair& Sampson, LLP, ("Linebarger")for the collection of delinquent
property taxes and other miscellaneous delinquent revenues and liens.
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. Exercising these options does not require specific City Council approval.
