25032 Standard Duty Wrecker Services

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (ACCUG) has issued Request for Proposal #25032 for standard-duty wrecker services targeting police-initiated tows across Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. The procurement seeks to contract with one or more wrecker service providers to deliver twenty-four (24) hour standard-duty wrecker and tow truck services beginning July 1, 2025, with an initial two-year contract period and potential two-year renewal option. Proposing vendors must maintain a business location within Athens-Clarke County and possess specialized equipment including slide back, wheel lift, and recovery wreckers, along with a fenced impoundment lot. Key qualifications include minimum three years of operational experience, registered status with the Georgia Public Service Commission, appropriate permits, and compliance with comprehensive operational standards such as 24/7 availability and prompt response times. The evaluation process will utilize a technical/price trade-off source selection method, with a maximum of 80 points allocated to the technical proposal and 10 points to the cost proposal, focusing on firm experience, staff qualifications, understanding of requirements, and professional references.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the procurement emphasizes eliminating cost disparities and ensuring reasonable service fees for citizens and visitors. Proposing vendors must carry specific insurance policies and demonstrate professional conduct throughout service delivery. The contract does not indicate incumbent vendors or require integration with existing technology infrastructure. Proposals are due by 11:00 A.M. ET on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, and will remain valid for 60 days after submission. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive requirements suggest a competitive procurement process designed to select qualified wrecker service providers capable of meeting the Athens-Clarke County Police Department's operational needs. Interested vendors should carefully review all requirements, prepare comprehensive technical and cost proposals, and ensure full compliance with the detailed specifications outlined in the Request for Proposal.
