The City of Wyoming is requesting proposals for towing and storage services for vehicles owned by the City and non-City vehicles involved in accidents and police situations where the owner or authorized agent cannot or does not designate another towing service.

B) Such changes, when deemed by the City to result in lesser cost to the successful proposer than would have been incurred by the successful proposer had the original specifications been followed, will constitute lesser work, for which a deduction from the awarded bid proposal price shall be negotiated between the successful bidder and the City.
