Request for Proposal of Towing Service

The City of Wausau Police Department is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for towing services, seeking qualified towing companies located within and up to six miles outside the city's corporate limits. The procurement seeks providers capable of performing three distinct types of towing services: non-consensual/no-preference tows for vehicles where owners cannot be located, evidence tows for vehicles needed as legal evidence, and tows for City-owned vehicles. Interested towing companies may submit separate proposals for each service type, with the potential for a single company to be awarded multiple contracts. The city will select a primary towing company for each service type and a secondary company to fulfill obligations if the primary provider cannot timely accommodate requests. Proposals were due by 4:30 P.M. Central Daylight Time on November 9, 2020, with interested parties required to contact Cord Buckner at cord.buckner@ci.wausau.wi.us to obtain official RFP documentation. The RFP established an initial question submission deadline of October 28, 2020, though no questions were ultimately received.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The RFP did not disclose information about incumbent vendors, existing technological infrastructure, potential integration requirements, or specific award values and budget ranges. Additionally, no details were provided regarding contract duration, renewal options, or anticipated contract commencement date. Potential bidders were simply directed to contact the specified city representative to receive complete RFP materials and pursue the towing service opportunity. The procurement appears open to any qualified towing service providers meeting the geographic proximity requirements (within or up to six miles outside Wausau's corporate limits) and capable of performing the specified towing services for the Wausau Police Department.
