Row and Easement Acquisition Services

The City of Balch Springs, Texas is seeking professional services to acquire land, rights-of-way, and easements to advance its Trail Phase 1A Capital Improvement Plan project. The city requires a vendor to handle real estate appraisals for both friendly acquisitions and condemnation proceedings. The selected provider will initiate and conduct meetings with property owners to discuss project benefits, request donations, or negotiate the final sale of the necessary properties. Bidders must perform all work onsite in the United States, as the city restricts eligibility to onshore entities. The city is issuing this solicitation to receive proposal pricing, and the resulting contract will span a one-year period. Interested parties must submit their responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The city will host a pre-bid meeting on June 16, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. Bidders must submit all clarifying questions regarding the solicitation no later than June 22, 2026. The evaluation of proposals will depend on the submitted digital responses detailing how the vendor will execute the required negotiations and appraisals.
