About this file

This is a Procurement Plan memo from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) dated April 2, 2026, outlining the release, selection, and award process for RFP 250257 for Towing and Recovery Services. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide towing and recovery services on an as-needed basis to support OCTA's operational requirements. The contract will be awarded for an initial three-year term with a budget of $435,000. The evaluation process will utilize multiple criteria weighted as follows: Qualifications of the Firm (30%), Staffing/Project Organization (20%), Work Plan (25%), and Cost (25%). This weighting structure prioritizes demonstrated experience, proper equipment, effective response procedures, and operator capability to ensure safe and reliable service delivery while managing operational risk.

The contract will be structured as a time and expense agreement with a firm-fixed hourly rate, allowing contractors to provide services as needed by OCTA. The procurement plan includes prevailing wage requirements and designates a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal. The internal evaluation team consists of Trevor Worthy (Senior Contract Administrator), Casey Gladding (Section Manager II, MRM), Kevin Levan (Section Manager II, Maintenance-Specialty Shops), and Jason Morris (Section Manager II, Facilities Maintenance-Santa Ana). An independent cost estimate of $435,000 has been received, and the requisition (R001064) has been submitted. The procurement is funded through local sources, with project management oversight by Christine Herrera, Contracts Analyst for Maintenance Resource Management.
