CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Agreements with Compliant Wrecker Companies for Police
Initiated Towing Services for the Police Department (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Agreements with compliant
wrecker companies for police initiated towing services for the Police Department.
DISCUSSION:
On September 18, 2012, (M&C C-25842) the City Council authorized extending contracts for one
year for police initiated towing services with several wrecker companies, all of which are located in
Fort Worth, to ensure an adequate level of police initiated towing service throughout the City of Fort
Worth. On July 3, 2013, the City released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to provide police
initiated towing services for the Fort Worth Police Department.
Annual costs for Fiscal Year 2014 are estimated to be in the total amount of$1,600,000.00. For
Fiscal Year 2013, the estimated cost is in the amount of$1,382,304.00 for all contracts. These costs
are offset by fee revenue.
BID ADVERTISEMENT- This RFQ was advertised every Wednesday in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram from July 3, 2013 through August 7, 2013. Fifty-two vendors were solicited from the
purchasing vendor database; twenty-nine proposals were received.
The proposals were reviewed by an evaluation committee that consisted of staff from the Police
Department. The committee ranked the qualifications based on the evaluation factors outlined in the
RFQ, including current operations, prior experience, success in the towing industry, safety record,
compliance, claims and litigation, reputation, equipment and completion of the qualifications. The
committee selected 24 companies to enter into Agreements with for Fiscal Year 2014.
PRICING ANALYSIS - The annual estimated cost is 16 percent higher than pricing on the Fiscal Year
2013 Agreements. However, costs are offset by fee revenue.
M/WBE Office -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Police Department and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance,
because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
AGREEMENT TERMS - These Agreements will have a one-year initial term beginning on October 1,
2013 through September 30, 2014.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - These Agreements may be renewed for up to four successive one-year terms
at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds will be available in the Fiscal Year
