MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS FOR SERVICES FOR VEHICLE TOWING AND/OR STORAGE DISPOSAL
           
The City of Flint is requesting submission of proposals to provide towing and/or storage and disposal services for abandoned vehicles taken into custody under MSA 9.1952(2), Sec. 257.252, as amended; for vehicles taken under the parking provisions of Section 28-1.1 of the Flint City Code; for City vehicles disabled or reasons other than flat tires or being out of gas; for vehicles involved in police investigations and/or crime enforcement activities; and for vehicles damaged in an accident to an extent that they must be towed from the scene and owner or operator is unable to remove or cause the vehicle to be removed, and if the owner or operator does not choose a towing service to remove the vehicle.

The purpose of this proposal is to encourage competition among businesses to provide the City of Flint with the highest level of service available by a proposer who may collect reasonable towing and storage fees for vehicles administered under Section 28-1.1 of the Flint City Code b the Flint Police Department. The RFP will be used to select a primary and secondary backup towing service. In the event that the primary contract holder is unable to respond within 20 minutes of a tow request by the City of Flint Police Department, they will contact the secondary backup contractor for towing service. All proposals should be detailed to explain the advantages of their services and all associated costs.
