BID PROPOSAL
7514 TOWING SERVICES
BID OPENING: June 12, 2013, 3:00 p.m. (our clock)
Background:
The City of Fort Collins is seeking a single vendor to handle City towing needs and for
Police evidence tows. The City has a wide variety of towing requirements, though the
actual number of tows is not large -- generally fewer than 10 per month, many of which
are for relocation purposes. Towing may be requested by any City department although
most towing services will be provided to Engineering, Water Utilities, Traffic, and Streets
during street rehab or street sweeping operations and during winter storms. In addition,
Fleet Services will request towing of City-owned vehicles, Transfort will occasionally
need to have buses towed, and Police Services will require that evidence tows be
handled by the City's towing Service Provider.
Specifications:
The type of towing services required will vary by type of vehicle and type of tow.
Automobiles and light to medium duty trucks may be towed using a tilt-bed wrecker or a
standard wrecker with underbody or wheel dolly equipment. A tilt-bed wrecker may be
specified by the City whenever the requesting personnel judge that to be the most
appropriate method. Wreckers dispatched to tow single-axle, heavy duty trucks and
mini-buses must have a GVWR of between 19,501 and 29,999 pounds. Those
dispatched to tow tandem-axle trucks and full-size buses must have a GVWR of at least
30,000 pounds.
Full-size buses may be flat-towed using a tow bar attached to the eyelets at the front of
the bus. If that is not appropriate, the wrecker must be able to lift the front end of the
bus and tow it safely without damaging the wheelchair lift in the front of the bus.
Vehicles will occasionally need to be towed long distances to a repair facility. At the
sole discretion of the City, Service Provider may be required to transport the vehicle on
a trailer or using a tilt-bed wrecker with sufficient load capacity.
Service Provider personnel may enter vehicle to be towed only when necessary to
prepare the unit for towing. When relocating a vehicle, the vehicle must be safely
parked in the new location, windows closed, and locked securely. If a vehicle is locked
and the emergency brake is set it must be towed using a dolly.
At the request of City personnel, vehicles parked in areas marked for street rehab or
sweeping operations may be towed to Service Provider's lot and stored until reclaimed
by the owner. Such vehicles must be safely parked in the storage lot, windows closed.
Service Provider shall maintain true and accurate records according to the daily record
requirements of CRS Section 42-5-105. After moving vehicles to accommodate street
sweeping, street rehab or during winter storms, Service Provider must forward relocated
vehicle make, color, and license number to the Department Representative who
requested the towing.
BID 7514 Towing Services Page 4 of 16
Towing shall be done so as to prevent damage to towed vehicles or to minimize further
damage to vehicles which are already damaged.
The Service Provider shall have a fenced, secure vehicle storage lot. Stored vehicles
shall not be released until the rightful ownership of the vehicle is established. The City
shall not be responsible for payment of towing or storage fees for vehicles towed to the
Service Provider storage lot.
If the Service Provider cannot be reached at the designated phone number three or
more times in a 30-day period, or if the Service Provider fails to respond to a towing
request within the time limits established in these Specifications more than three times
in a 30-day period, the Service Provider agreement may be terminated.
Service Provider shall:
1. Own or lease and operate a fleet of tow vehicles capable of providing all the towing
services described in the bid proposal. Leased vehicles must be in regular use by
the Service Provider and have been procured under multi-year operating lease
agreements.
2. Provide towing services, on an as-needed basis, from the location of the disabled
vehicle to the designated repair facility. Drivers must be familiar with the four main
City shop locations although vehicles are sometimes towed to other locations.
3. Make all vehicle hook-ups according to manufacturer’s specifications contained in
the vehicle “Owner’s Manual” or according to the most current edition of the “AAA
Towing Manual”.
4. Have a valid Tow Permit issued by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission and
comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations
5. Provide the City with a single telephone number to be used for requesting towing
services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This phone number must be
answered by a person who can dispatch a tow truck and give the requesting
employee an accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA), or schedule towing when
immediate service is not being requested.
6. Dispatch tow trucks using radio, cellular phone or other electronic means.
7. Be at the disabled vehicle location within 45 minutes of receiving a request for
towing services, unless the City employee initiating the request authorizes additional
time.
8. Immediately, upon receiving a request for tow, advise the City employee if a tow
truck cannot be at the disabled vehicle location within 45 minutes so service can be
requested elsewhere.
9. Provide towing using equipment appropriate to the type of vehicle being towed.
10. Provide the City employee who requested Relocation towing or had vehicles towed
to the Service Provider's lot with a list of vehicles towed.
BID 7514 Towing Services Page 5 of 16
11. Provide for storage of spare tires for use in replacing tires on Police vehicles for
after-hours repairs.
12. Provide tire changes on Police vehicles for after-hours repairs.
City employees will:

and any other information pertinent to the requested tow.
3. Ensure access to City repair facility if the vehicle is to be towed to one of those
locations.

clearance. The Service Provider shall provide the City Representative with the

• Full name, date of birth, social security number, and valid driver’s license
number.
3. No person may tow City vehicles if that person has:
• An active criminal arrest warrant.
• A conviction for any felony, on parole for such felony, or who has been released
from custody for such felony within the previous ten years.
• A misdemeanor conviction on drug related charges within the previous five years.
• A non-drug-related misdemeanor or petty offense conviction within the past three
years.

1. Normal Towing – Flat towing, towing by lifting either end of a vehicle, towing using a
dolly, or transporting the disabled vehicle using a tilt-bed wrecker.
2. Long Distance Tow – Towing to or from a repair facility outside the Fort Collins

sweeping operations and moving vehicles off Snow Emergency routes during winter

fees apply. Outside this area hookup fees are calculated on a per mile basis, as
specified for Long Distance towing. This area is bounded by the foothills on the west,
I-25 on the east, by CR 54 on the north, and on the south by CR30, plus any place
within the City limits lying outside that area.
