RFP 2012-120524 Police Department Towing Services

The City of High Point is soliciting proposals for Police Rotational Towing Services under RFP 2012-120524. The contract consists of an initial one-year term with four optional one-year extensions. Selected contractors must provide on-demand vehicle recovery and transport, maintaining a response readiness that requires dispatching compliant wreckers within three minutes of notification. Equipment requirements include a minimum 10,000 GVW chassis, 8,000-lb winches, and specific safety gear such as reflective signage and fire extinguishers. All operators and vehicles must hold current Federal DOT inspection certifications and comply with OSHA and state safety regulations. Proposals are due by December 14, 2024, at 2:00 PM ET, as extended by Addendum 1. The City utilizes a best-value trade-off selection process rather than lowest price, as pricing is based on a city-provided fee schedule. Evaluation is weighted heavily toward specific plans and equipment (40%) and relevant experience (30%), followed by staff qualifications, ability to meet commitments, and client references. Requirements for submission include a bound original copy and a USB flash drive, along with documentation regarding MWBE participation and E-Verify compliance for businesses with 25 or more employees. Insurance mandates include $1,000,000 in coverage for both Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability.
