Wrecker Towing Services

The City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida (herein after, “City”) has issued this Request for Qualification (hereinafter, “RFQ”) with the sole purpose and intent of obtaining qualifications from interested and qualified firms offering to provide Wrecker/Towing Services in accordance with the specifications stated and/or attached herein/hereto. The successful proposer will hereinafter be referred to as the “Towing Company”. It is anticipated that several Towing Companies may be selected for a non-exclusive contract with a period of three (3) years, with the possibility of two (2) automatic one year renewals. During this period, the City shall reserve the right to seek qualifications and/or proposals from other Towing Companies for specialized projects, as deemed to be in the best interest of the City. Any adjustments in the maximum wrecker fees allowed and the payment to the City shall also be established at the time of renewal. It is further understood by the parties to this Agreement that in the event the Towing Company is unable to respond to a call during the term of this Agreement, with one of its own wreckers or necessary equipment to clear an accident scene or similar situation, it is still responsible for providing a wrecker and related equipment as may be required. It shall obtain at its own expense necessary equipment, such as a crane, from any source able to provide it in a timely manner. The Towing Company may utilize a wrecker from any other wrecker company licensed in the City; in such cases, the substitute wrecker must comply with the terms agreed upon herein. The selected Towing Companies will be expected to execute the City’s Standard Agreement, provided in the Attachment Section of this document, and provide the required insurance certificates and endorsements under the agreement. If awarded, a contract to provide these services shall be effective on the date it is approved by the City of New Smyrna Beach, City Commission (herein after, the “Commission”), signed by all required parties and filed with the City Clerk. Each individual or firm should become familiar with all the terms contained in the agreement and be willing to execute the agreement before submitting a proposal. There shall be no exceptions to either the scope of services or the terms of the agreement. If made, the recommendation of award will be made to the best overall providers whose proposal is most advantageous to the City, taking into consideration the evaluation factors set forth in this RFQ. The City will not use any other factors or criteria in the evaluation of the qualifications received.
