Title Search and Closing Services for NRCS-California

AMENDMENT 001 Dated 5/26/2022: The purpose of this amendment it to provide clarifications in response to questions received. This amendment includes a replacement ownership deed. The due date is extended from 1700ET 5/27/2022 to 1700ET 6/1/2022. Quotes received after 1700ET 6/1/2022 will not be considered. 1. On the T & M King Farms, LLC acquisition we think there is a typo on one of the APNs. The summary sheet shows APN 019-130-049 but we think it should be 019-130-048. APN 019-130-049 is not owned by T & M King Farms, LLC so that would mean searching two different landowners. It appears that APN 019-130-049 is south of APN 019-130-048 and would entail doing additional APN searches. We don't think that is what NRCS wants. Please confirm that you do not want any work done on APN 019-130-049 but want work done on 019-130-048 instead. No work should be done on APN 019-130-49. There was a typo on the APN number. The correct APN number for the search is 019-130-48 as identified on the Easement Boundary Map (proposed). Please note that the proposed easement boundary also includes a search for a portion of APN 019-130-037. 2. On the Closed Zone Ranch acquisition the vesting deed provided is not the one in support of the APNs listed on the summary sheet. It has a completely different APN. Can you get a copy of the correct vesting deed? The APN numbers (017-060-001 and 017-060-019) listed on the proposed easement boundary map in the solicitation are correct. The original deed provided is not. The deed should be associated with T15N, R2W, Sect 15. The correct ownership deed is attached. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
