RE: Award Bid to Expert Automotive Services for Three Year Agreement (2020-2023)
Towing/Wrecker Services for Police Department (Award based on 2020-2023 unit price rates)
BACKGROUND
The Oshkosh Police Department uses qualified contractors for towing services to comply with the City of
Oshkosh Towing Ordinance 27-18, for towing of police vehicles as well as for impounding vehicles; and any
other towing services as requested by the Police Department. While the annual Police Department costs for
these services are relatively minor (e.g. under $600 for 2019), the potential costs for the public to access
impounded vehicles under this contract could exceed $25,000 over the three year contract term. As such, staff
has had this contract approved by the Council to be in concert with Purchasing Ordinance Section 12-10(A)
of the Municipal Code. This contract will be for a three-year term beginning in the fall of 2020 with the option
for two, one-year renewals upon mutual agreement.
ANALYSIS
Working with Police Department staff, Purchasing prepared specifications seeking vendors for these services.
This solicitation was sent to known towing contractors. Bids were due on August 12, 2020. The bid tab is
attached. Staff has confirmed the low bid from Expert Automotive Services LLC met all the minimum bid
specifications. Expert was awarded this contract for the prior bid term and staff are pleased with their
performance.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annual charges for these services to the Police Department budget will vary. Charges will be locked to the
prices on the attached bid tab for the three year contract term. They will be charged to 100-0211-6466-00000
