Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Authority hereby invites interested qualified firms (“Towing Contractors”) to submit a Technical and Cost Proposal (“Proposal”) for towing services for DRPA and PATCO (the “Project”). This public advertisement constitutes the Authority’s formal solicitation to determine the interest of qualified firms in the aforementioned project. The scope of services the Authority requires includes vehicle towing services on an asneeded basis from various bridges and parking lots that the Authority owns to either the Towing Contractor’s own storage facility or to an impound yard at one of the DRPA’s four bridges. Causes for towing and removal shall include, but not be limited to: vehicles involved in an accident; disabled, abandoned or stolen vehicles; or, vehicles involved in a criminal incident, parking violation, or motor vehicle violations that would require towing. One or more Towing Contractors will be designated for each DRPA bridge. The Towing Contractor(s) selected for the PATCO locations and the DRPA home office parking lot will be from the State of New Jersey. The towing services may not be exclusive to one Towing Contractor and multiple contracts may be awarded depending on the type of vehicle to be towed and the Towing Contractor’s capability. The Authority reserves the right to use or seek alternative towing services (as determined by the Authority), including using DRPA Bridge Operations and Police Department personnel and equipment to remove vehicles from bridge or parking lot property. Also, in most instances, the owner of a vehicle to be towed will have the right to use a towing company of his/her own choice.
