VEHICLE TOWING SERVICE – POLICE DEPARTMENT – #B06006

 

The Police Department requested bids for towing service from eleven vendors.  We received only one bid from Hillcrest Wrecker, evaluated it and feel like it is a reasonable bid, given the recent increases in fuel costs.  This is a one year contract with the option to renew for one additional year providing both parties agree.  This purchase was approved in the 2006 budgeting process.

 

VENDOR

TOTAL BID

Hillcrest Wrecker & Garage

$  38,180.00

 

 

Recommendation Action: 

Approve bid from Hillcrest Wrecker for towing service with the option to renew in the amount of $38,180.00.  (Police/Patrol)
