CIW_18-002_Evidence_Towing.pdf

This document is a Competition Impracticable Request/Disposition Form (C.I.W. 18-002) from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, located in Phoenix, Arizona. The form is prepared by Robert DeLucia, a Senior Procurement Analyst, and seeks approval for a procurement process related to Evidence/Seizure Towing services.

The document outlines a procurement for towing services for DPS evidence-related tows, with an estimated annual cost of $80,000. The proposal aims to utilize the same tow firms on a Tow Service Certification Agreement, avoiding competitive bidding due to unique circumstances. The procurement is based on a October 2016 survey and 2014 low-firm cost structure analysis, with rates designed to provide competitive pricing and protection against overcharging. The contract will expire when the towing firm's DPS District Tow Service Certification Agreement expires, with the goal of enabling faster scene clearance and reducing secondary accident risks by quickly removing vehicles from accident scenes.
