About this file
This is a Request for Proposals (RFC) for environmental compliance practices issued by Salt Lake County Contracts and Procurement on behalf of the Sheriff's Office to establish a rotation towing services contract. The Sheriff's Office seeks to expand its vendor pool by adding multiple towing service providers to supplement the existing rotation towing program. Bidders must be capable of providing 24/7, 365-day-per-year towing services for vehicles and equipment of various sizes, including operations in steep canyon terrain and off-road conditions during adverse weather. Successful vendors meeting all bid specifications will be added to the towing rotation, with charges passed to vehicle owners and their insurance carriers. Towing companies must maintain their own permanently marked equipment bearing the company name and logo, without relying on temporary leases or substitute equipment from other providers. Response time requirements mandate arrival within 30 minutes for local areas and within one hour for calls in unincorporated and canyon areas; failure to meet these timeframes results in call cancellation with no charges to the county or vehicle owner, triggering dispatch of the next rotation vendor.
Upon arrival at an incident scene, the assigned towing company must complete the removal of the assigned vehicle or item and cannot refuse the job. At accident scenes, the towing company bears full responsibility for comprehensive cleanup of all oil, radiator fluid, absorbent materials, and other vehicular debris or fluids. The RFC indicates that successful bidders may be required to acquire third-party software as part of contract fulfillment, though additional contract details regarding pricing terms, performance requirements, insurance or bonding specifications, and other salient conditions are not fully detailed in the available file excerpt.

Attachment D - Environmental Compliance Practices
Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification
1. Salt Lake County has implemented environmentally responsible procurement practices. The County requires all persons, businesses, corporations and other entities doing business or entering into a contract with the County to comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. Compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations is a relevant factor in evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The county, in its sole discretion, may not solicit proposals from, award contracts to, procure, or otherwise enter into business arrangements with any person, business, corporation or other organization that is noncompliant. If a vendor is suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance, the County in its sole discretion, may deem the vendor non-responsible and decline to award a contract.
2. Based on the foregoing, the vendor certifies, to the best of its knowledge, that neither the vendor nor any owner, officer or agent of the vendor:
2.1 is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from the award of a contract or purchase by any federal, state or local agency based on a finding, determination, notice of violation or order of environmental non-compliance;
2.2 is presently indicted or charged by a government entity in a criminal, civil or administrative proceeding with the commission of any offense, violation, or failure to comply with any federal, state, or local environmental law, rule or regulation, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.3 has, within the last three (3) years, been convicted, or had a civil judgment or administrative order rendered against it for any offense or violation, including but not limited to environmental noncompliance, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;
2.4 has, within the last three (3) years, had a contract/purchase terminated due to an act or omission, including but not limited to environmental non-compliance, demonstrating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor.
3. Vendor shall require any sub-vendor to disclose in writing, whether at the time of the award of the subcontract, the sub-vendor complies with the certification requirements in subparagraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.
4. Vendor shall immediately notify the county in writing if, at any time before the award, the vendor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has since become erroneous because of changed circumstances.
5. If it is later determined that vendor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification under this provision, in addition to other available remedies, the county in its sole discretion, may terminate the contract/purchase for default.
