NS26-78 Sandy City - Towing Rotation Services for Police Department

Sandy City is issuing a Request for Proposal and Advertisement for Bid to contract with one or more towing companies (not to exceed six) to provide 24-hour towing rotation services for the Police Department. The services encompass towing and related operations for wrecked, impounded, and non-drivable vehicles, as well as disabled or illegally parked vehicles, operating seven days per week with mandatory response within 20 minutes at accident scenes except under extraordinary circumstances. The contract encompasses motorcycles, pickup trucks, recreational vehicles, and trailers, with a three-year initial term beginning in March 2026 and an optional two additional 12-month renewal periods by mutual agreement. Required qualifications include documentation of operator qualifications (BCI Criminal History Reports, Utah drivers licenses, UDOT medical cards, and towing certifications), vehicle registrations and commercial vehicle inspections for all trucks in the rotation, a current Sandy City business license, a certified state tax yard within Sandy City limits with staffing Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and color photographs of equipment and facilities. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: apparent ability to perform safely and reliably (25 percent), price (15 percent), service record (15 percent), truck quality and numbers (15 percent), personnel qualifications (15 percent), and history of compliance and complaints (15 percent). Pricing must remain firm for the first contract year, with subsequent increases permitted only in accordance with UDOT guidelines. The deadline for submitting written questions is February 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM (MT), and the closing date for bid submissions is February 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM (MT), with all submissions and inquiries directed to https://sandycity.ionwave.net/Login.aspx.

The solicitation documents do not identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, or budget ranges. Payment will be collected directly from vehicle owners or their insurers rather than from Sandy City, meaning the award value will depend on the volume of towing services requested and market pricing for those services. All responding vendors must comply with applicable Utah state and local statutes and regulations and maintain required certifications and licenses throughout the contract term.
