RFP #25-26, Wrecker Services - Annual Contract

Henry County is seeking proposals for RFP #25-26, an annual wrecker services contract covering the North and South areas of the county, explicitly excluding Interstate I-75 and its on/off ramps. The procurement is designed to establish an as-needed wrecker service arrangement for county employees and officers, with contractors required to furnish all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to fulfill contract requirements. Qualified contractors must provide comprehensive towing services with specific operational capabilities, including 24/7 availability and appropriate vehicle storage facilities. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be received by the Henry County Purchasing Department, located at 140 Henry Parkway, Room 209, McDonough, GA 30253, with proposals due by 3:00 PM local time on December 3, 2024. Proposals cannot be withdrawn for sixty days after submission, and the county reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. Evaluation criteria will likely include service capabilities, responsiveness, equipment readiness, and compliance with county specifications.

The county has established an 8.5% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal for this contract, indicating a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Contractors must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and maintain appropriate insurance coverages, with the county to be listed as an additional insured. The initial contract term is one year, with potential for two additional one-year renewals, providing stability and continuity of service. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the contract includes a comprehensive fee schedule for various towing and storage services based on vehicle weight and complexity. Potential respondents must demonstrate the ability to provide immediate response times, maintain secure storage facilities, and adhere to strict operational standards. The county will actively monitor DBE participation and assess contractors' good faith efforts toward meeting diversity and inclusion objectives throughout the contract period.
