The County seeks multiple towing service providers on a non-exclusive basis, placed on rotational dispatch lists by tow zone and vehicle class.

Quoters must demonstrate operational readiness including vehicle inspection and approval by the Sheriff's Office prior to service, personnel background checks with no felony convictions permitted, and tow-driver certification from an approved training program within six months of employment. Contractors must maintain exclusive control of storage facilities within two miles of assigned tow zones and comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and Oregon Revised Statutes. Commercial general liability insurance is required at a combined single limit of not less than $1 million per occurrence; automobile liability insurance must be at least $500,000 per occurrence.

Pricing is governed by a detailed rate schedule in Appendix 3, with maximum allowable charges including hook-up fees ranging from $260 for Class A to $515 for Class C vehicles, mileage fees, daily storage rates from $45 to $65 by vehicle class, after-hours gate fees of $50, and specialty services. All tow trucks must display certification decals. Contractors assume full responsibility for vehicle and personal property protection and are subject to unannounced Sheriff's Office inspections, with suspensions or termination available for non-compliance.

The contract term is two years from the effective date of all signatures, with two optional two-year renewal periods available. All quotes are binding for 60 days from the due date. Initial evaluation considers company information, equipment capabilities, yard facilities, and references, with award contingent upon passing Sheriff's Office inspections and background reviews of owners, officers, and employees.
