|
| Proposed Motion: |
| Move City Council approve Agreement No. PD5-968-4833, with ACT Towing, Inc., dba All City Towing, for police towing services, for a period of two years, January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026, with the option of up to two additional two-year extensions. |
| Background/Discussion: |
In December 1995, the city began utilizing a single contractor for towing services, which has proven to be a successful alternative to the previous rotation program. Benefits of this contracted service include lower costs to residents, fewer customer complaints, and a streamlined workload for the Police Department.
The Police Department utilizes this contract for the towing, storage, and/or impounding of vehicles in the following circumstances:
- Wrecked
- Abandoned
- Unattended and blocking roadways
- Evidentiary purposes
- Arrested driver
Continuation of this model will allow the Police Department to meet the needs of the community and maintain the level of service it has provided for nearly three decades.

Alpha Towing & Recovery dba Alpha Transportation Services
ACT Towing, Inc., dba All City Towing
Apache Sands Service Center, Inc.
Priority Towing
Professional Towing and Recovery, LLC
Quick Pik All Over Towing
Thompson Diversified, LLC, dba Valley Express Towing
The evaluation committee evaluated the proposals and recommends award to ACT Towing, Inc., dba All City Towing, which submitted the most advantageous offer to the City.

| Financial Implications: |
| Vehicle owners are responsible for payment of all fees associated with police-related tows. The City of Chandler will be responsible for payment of all fees associated with towing of city-owned vehicles and vehicles towed for evidence. Historically, the City spends less than $20,000 per year towing city-owned vehicles. |
