This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division for citywide towing and roadside assistance services. The City seeks qualified contractors to provide 24/7/365 towing, roadside assistance, storage, and recovery services throughout Orlando's 111.2 square mile jurisdiction for multiple departments including the Fleet Management Division, Orlando Fire Department, Orlando Police Department, Parking Division, Code Enforcement Division, and Orlando Venues. Services must include dispatch capabilities, vehicle recovery, roadside assistance (lockout service, tire replacement, battery jump-start, fuel delivery), and specialized recovery for submerged or overturned vehicles. The City reserves the right to award multiple contracts to responsible proposers with rotating job allocation among contractors. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for July 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, with questions due by July 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Sealed proposals must be submitted electronically by July 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with public opening via Microsoft Teams the same date. The initial contract term is three years, with options to extend for up to three additional 12-month periods for a cumulative maximum of 72 months.
Contractors must have a minimum of three years' prior towing and recovery experience and maintain storage facilities within 15 miles of the City's Fleet and Facility complex at 1010 South Westmoreland Drive, including at least one-half acre of outside storage with 24-hour video surveillance and 10 days of recorded capacity. All pricing must be firm for the initial contract term with no fuel surcharges or convenience fees permitted. Price adjustments for renewal periods may be requested based on the Consumer Price Index with written justification submitted 90 days prior to contract anniversary. Contractors must accept cash, cashier's checks, money orders, debit cards, and credit cards (minimum VISA and Mastercard) without additional merchant or convenience fees. Evaluation criteria allocate 35 points to proposer experience and management qualifications, 35 points to operating plan and capacity, 28 points to price proposal, and 2 points to Veteran Business Enterprise participation. Required equipment includes Class A, B, C, and D wreckers, rollback carriers, a four-wheel drive wrecker, a low clearance wrecker for parking garages, and a SpeedCrane wrecker for forensic recovery, all subject to pre-award inspection and annual DOT certification.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Summary
The City of Orlando’s Procurement and Contracts Division requests Proposals from interested and qualified Proposers to provide Citywide Towing and Roadside Assistance services. The City needs these services and related dispatch capabilities 24 hours a day
/ 7 days a week / 365 days per year basis in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this Request for Proposal (RFP). Roadside assistance, towing, storage, and recovery services are needed; including, but not limited to motor vehicle accidents, break downs, code enforcement, and parking violations for the Fleet
Management Division, Orlando Fire Department (OFD), Orlando Police Department
(OPD), Parking Division, Code Enforcement Division, Orlando Venues, and other City
Divisions as needed throughout the City limits.
If the City determines that multiple contracts are needed, the City will award one or more additional contracts to the responsible Proposers. The City has a number and variety of potential customer departments. In order to assure that any ensuing Contracts will allow the City to fulfill current and future requirements, the City reserves the right to award
Contracts to multiple companies. The actual utilization of any Contract will be at the sole discretion of the City. The fact that the City may make multiple awards should be taken into consideration by each Proposer.
The City will offer the right of first refusal for incoming jobs on a rotating basis among awarded contractors. A contractor who declines an offer forfeits their place in that contractor rotation. Offers shall generally rotate sequentially; however, the City reserves the right to deviate from the rotation based on contractor performance, availability, workload, emergency conditions, project requirements, or other factors reasonably determined to be in the best interest of the City.
For Proposers seeking to provide services related to Orlando Police Department forensic evidence for towing and recovery services, please see City of Orlando solicitation RFP26-
0222.
