HomeMy WebLinkAbout01-08-18 City Commission Packet Materials - C6. PSA with Mr. T's Towing for Police Directed TowsCommission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Rich McLane, Deputy Chief of Police
Steve Crawford, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Professional Service agreement with Mr. T’s Towing s and Repair
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Police Department periodically tows vehicles to a secure
location or storage unit as part of an investigation. Over the past few years this has increased
significantly and the need for a consistent, reliable and certified tow company is essential. The
towing of vehicles for investigation purposes involve the need to ensure tows are done in a manner
that preserves forensic evidence, maintains a chain of custody and protects confidential
information. With a “rotation based” towing method, these areas of concern has not been reliably
addressed. Further a consistent and fair rate schedule is important from a fiscal standpoint, in
establishing a fair rate for towing services. In addition to towing for investigation purposes, this
same contractor will also provide towing services for police department vehicles.
On request for quotes from interested contractors, Mr. T’s Towing and Repair clearly met these
requirements. This contractor has an extensive history of reliable towing with the department.
The owner understands the need for evidence preservation and has evidence towing certification.
This contractor also provided rates that are fair and reasonable.
This agreement does not replace rotational tow selection for the removal of abandoned vehicles or
for citizen tows needed, such as those associated with a motor-vehicle crash.
FISCAL EFFECTS: There are no additional costs by using this contractor and more than likely
lower costs than using the existing rotational wrecker system.
