Is it required to have money or some other token paid to the grantor by the grantee in order for a quitclaim deed to be valid?

I bought a property with a small portion quitclaim deeded to the city. The paperwork itself does not reference any money exchanged from the city to the prevoius owner. My question is whether a deed of this nature requires some kind of token given to demonstrate a reason/motive for the transfer of interest. Much like in the case of a bill of sale.
