Annual Contract for Wrecker Service

Tarrant County Government is seeking to establish an annual contract for wrecker services to facilitate the towing of county-owned vehicles as needed. The contract is set to commence on July 12, 2025, and will initially last for twelve months, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewals contingent upon mutual agreement and the County’s approval. During the contract period, vendor prices must remain fixed, and the County reserves the right to exercise renewal options by providing written notice at least thirty days prior to the renewal period, provided all required documentation is current and approved. The procurement process emphasizes compliance with specific terms, including special conditions related to background checks, data security, and confidentiality, especially for vendors handling county data or accessing facilities, as outlined in the County’s standard terms and conditions. The contract documentation reflects a comprehensive framework that incorporates policies promoting equitable participation of Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), with a target of 20% participation, and mandates adherence to legal and procedural standards. The special terms and conditions specify requirements for fingerprint-based background checks for personnel, breach notification within 48 hours, data residency within the United States, and audit rights over vendor data centers, ensuring security and accountability. The general terms cover essential contractual provisions such as payment terms, confidentiality, bid responsiveness, and responsibilities, while additional documents include bid procedures, amendments, and related procurement policies. Overall, the contract aims to secure reliable wrecker services aligned with county policies, security standards, and equitable procurement practices.
