Date: June 14, 2010
Subject: TOWING AND IMPOUND SERVICES
Title 6 -3 -2 of the Cottage Grove City Code provides that the City shall let bids for a towing company
to provide the towing and impound service needs of the City and a contract shall be awarded for up
to three (3) years to the lowest responsible bidder.
Sealed bids for towing and impound services were opened on June 2, 2010 and bids were received
from South East Towing, Inc., and East Metro Towing. In reviewing the bids, a number of elements
other than the fees, must be considered. They are:
1. The contractor shall own a minimum of two (2) towing vehicles with a minimum capacity of
five (5) tons.
Both bidders submitted a list of their equipment. South East Towing owns 14 pieces of
equipment - one (1) wrecker, five (5) flat beds, one (1) 10 -ton wrecker and two (2) 30 -ton
wreckers. East Metro Towing owns two (2) flat beds and one (1) wrecker. They propose
subcontracting for heavy duty tows by Mark's Towing Inc., Eagan.
2. Each towing vehicle shall be equipped in accordance with Minn. Stat. 169.64. Subdivision 5,
and inspected by the Minnesota Department of Transportation on an annual basis, with
certification provided to the City of Cottage Grove.
Minn. Stat. requires that a tow truck or towing vehicle be equipped with flashing or
intermittent red and amber lights of a type approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety.
The lights must be placed on the dome of the vehicle at the highest practicable point visible
from a distance of 500 feet. The flashing red light must be displayed only when the tow
truck or towing vehicle is engaged in emergency service on or near the traveled portion of a
highway. The flashing amber light may be displayed when the tow truck or towing vehicle is
moving a disabled vehicle."
South East Towing provided the City with certifications of inspections conducted by the
Minnesota Department of Transportation. Certifications were not provided to the City by
East Metro Towing. The City found out that annual inspection for tow trucks under 26,000
GVW were no longer required.
3. The Contractor shall be available for towing services 24 hours a day. seven (7) days per
week.
Both bidders comply with this requirement.
4. The Contractor shall arrive at the scene of a tow within the following time limits: for daytime
request, within 20 minutes after the request for service is received; for nighttime request,
within 15 minutes after the reauest for service is received.
Past experience has shown that South East Towing has been very reliable, fulfilling its
obligations under the contract in responding to calls for service. The City has not worked
with East Metro Towing in the past and no references were provided to the City.
5. The Contractor shall be able to provide towing services for automobiles, light trucks,
snowmobiles, motorcycles, and other specially designed vehicles. Contractor shall also have
the ability to provide special towing services including: winching dollies, flat bed, light
rescue, etc. Contractor shall also have equipment with 30,000 pound under reach
capabilities.
East Metro Towing owns only three (3) pieces of equipment and will have to
subcontract for some of the services required under the specifications and the
contract document.
6. The Contractor shall have access to a secured. 24 -hour impound facility, which must be
consistent with the applicable zoning laws. Further. the Contractor must provide to the City
scale drawing of the facility, along with proof that the facility itself complies with the
applicable zoning laws
Both bidders provided a copy of the conditional use permit they received from the City of
Inver Grove Heights.
7. The impound facility shall be located within 10 minutes of the City of Cottage Grove and
must be able to accommodate at least 30 vehicles.
Sgt Coffey drove from the City limits from approximately Highway 61 and 70th Street South
and it took him 12 minutes to reach the impound lot for South East Towing and that
included significant road construction involving a traffic detour on Concord Avenue. This
detour added at least two (2) minutes in drive time. Sgt Coffey then drove from the City
limits to the East Metro Impound facility in Inver Grove Heights, and it took him
approximately 16 minutes, and that was with no real traffic concerns and no interference
with any type of road construction.
8. The impound facility must have a locked and fenced lot with a minimum of an eight (8) foot
fence.
Upon inspection of the impound lots, South East Towing has a locked seven (7) foot high
privacy fence that is topped with a 15 -18 inch barb wire. The East Metro impound facility is
locked and is apparently being shared with another construction company. During his
inspection, Sgt. Coffey observed that it could hold the requisite 30 vehicles, but it would be
a rather tight fit. The fencing around the secured lot appeared to be a six (6) foot chain link
fence, topped with approximately one (1) foot of barbed wire divided between three strands.
The total height of their fence would be approximately seven (7) feet, when a minimum of
eight (8) feet is required.
9. The impound facility must be available daily from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., to allow for the
release of impound vehicles.
Both bidders comply with this requirement.
10. The provider of towing services to the City must have access to an impound facility 24 -hours
a day.
Both bidders comply with this requirement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council award the three -year towing contract to South East Towing.
East Metro Towing does not comply with items 7 and 8 outlined above.

RENEWAL OF TOWING CONTRACT FOR THE CITY OF COTTAGE
GROVE
As of June 30, 2010, the three year contract that the City of Cottage Grove has had with
Southeast Towing in Inver Grove Heights, to provide towing services, will be expired.
The city is currently undergoing a process to renew a contract for towing services. City
Clerk Caron Stransky did advertise and solicit for bids for this towing contract. The bids
were due on June 2, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. At approximately 11:00 a.m. on June 2 nd , I was
present with Caron Stransky in the Council Chambers at the time the bids were closed.
At that time, two bids had been received by the city for the towing contract. There were
two bids submitted; Southeast Towing, located at 7401 Dickman Trail in Inver Grove
Heights and East Metro Towing, located at 10967 Clark Road in Inver Grove Heights.
Present at this time while the bids were opened, was a representative from Southeast
Towing. Upon opening the bid from Southeast Towing, it was noted that all applicable
specifications were present; this included a list of towing vehicles, make, model, serial
number, current DOT certifications on the list of vehicles, a copy of an Automobile
Comprehensive Liability insurance that did specifically name the City of Cottage Grove
as an additional insurer. The city does have on file a scale drawing of the impound
storage facility and I did obtain a letter from the local government of Inver Grove Heights
stating that they did comply with all applicable zoning laws.
Southeast Towing did also provide a bid for the 6 types of tows specified in a contract
and Southeast Towing also specified this for the years July 1, 2010 through June 30,
2011 and then again from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 and then the third year
July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Southeast Towing also provided the requested
$500 deposit.
In opening a bid from East Metro Towing, they did provide the requested $500 deposit
and supply a Certificate of Liability Insurance but at this time did not list the City of
Cottage Grove as an insured party. East Metro Towing also supplied bids for the
different types of tows and services over the three year life of the contract.
City Clerk Stransky did retain both deposit checks and requested that I look into the
bids, compare them and ensure that they did meet with all requirements set forth in the
contract.
In comparing the two bids, the first area that was compared was in the area of storage
fees. It should be noted that for the first year, the storage fees were identical, in the
second year Southeast Towing fees were approximately $2.00 more expensive for day
two and on for a storage fee. For the third year, East Metro Towing bid was significantly
more expensive, approximately $10.00 per day as compared to Southeast Towing.
I next compared the towing services for the different types of tows and any additional
fees such as clean up, dollying and winching that were bid upon between the two
businesses. To summarize, the basic fees for the different types of towing was
substantially less expensive for East Metro Towing, the first year standard tow for East
Metro was $65.00 compared to the first year standard tow of $85.00 for Southeast.
Southeast's proposed bids were less as far as the additional fees go for clean up, drive
line, winching, dollying type services and fees. Also Southeast Towing for a year
specialty tows (Type 7 tows) was also significantly more expensive - $175.00 per hour
compared to $100.00 per hour of East Metro's bid.
Attached to this memo will be the specific breakdowns for the bid amounts for each
business. To summarize it the storage fees bids were significantly cheaper over three
years for Southeast Towing. The basic towing fees bids were significantly cheaper by
East Metro Towing over the three year period. The additional fees for services were
significantly by Southeast Towing over the three year life of the proposed contract.
After reviewing the bids, I did conduct further investigation into the two companies and
the storage facilities to ensure compliance with out contract requirements. I did go to
Southeast Towing located at 7401 Dickman Trail in Inver Grove Heights. It should be
noted that from the Cottage Grove border at approximately Highway 61 and 70` street,
it did take me approximately 12 minutes drive time to reach the impound lot for
Southeast Towing. It should be noted that our contract does specify that the lot needs to
be within 10 minutes of the city of Cottage Grove. It should also be noted that there was
significant road constructing involving a detour on Concord Avenue, which is the most
direct route to Southeast Towing. This detour did add approximately two minutes of
drive time on to the distance from Cottage Grove to the Southeast's lot. From past
experience, I do know that it is possible to make it from the city limits of Cottage Grove
to Southeast Towing impound, obeying all traffic laws, within the ten minute specified
time period. Upon inspection of Southeast Towing's impound lot; I did note that it did
have a seven foot privacy fence that was topped by a barbed wire portion that was
approximately an additional 15 to 18 inches in height. It was my impression that this
would meet the 8 foot height requirement for the fencing of a secured impounds lot. I
did also note surveillance cameras present covering the impound lot for Southeast
Towing. Southeast Towing impound lot clearly had the capability of storing several
hundred impounded vehicles. I did have all other required items from Southeast Towing
to proceed with the awarding of a contract, if the Council so desired at this time.
Next I then traveled from the city limits of Cottage Grove to East Metro's towing
impound lot, located at 10967 Clark Road in Inver Grove Heights. Traveling and
obeying all traffic laws, it did take me approximately 16 minutes of drive time from the
city limits of Cottage Grove to this impound facility. It should be noted that this was with
no real traffic concerns and no interference with any type of road construction. This
would obviously put it outside the 10 minute window previously stated in the contract for
the towing services. At the impound lot I did meet with representatives of East Metro
Towing, she identified herself as the daughter of the owner. I was shown several
impound lots located behind the facility. She stated that one they are currently using
was a secured lot. It appears that this locked lot was being shared with another
construction company. The representative did state that they were going to be
attempting to move to another secured lot directly next to it. However, with the lot that I
did observe it could hold the requisite 30 vehicles inside the secured area. It should be
noted it would be a rather tight fit, but could be possible at this time. The fencing around
the secured lot appeared to be a six foot chain link fence topped with approximately one
foot of barbed wire divided between three strands. The total height of this fence would
be approximately seven feet. It should be noted that in our specifications for our
contract, an eight foot fence is required. I also requested from East Metro Towing
further information including a list of the plate numbers for their vehicles, a scaled
drawing of the impound lot and documentation that they were acting in accordance with
applicable zoning laws for the city of Inver Grove Heights. I did receive a copy of the
plates for tow trucks currently owned by East Metro Towing. It appears to be three tow
trucks owned at this time that would meet the requirements for the towing contract. It did
also appear that all applicable zoning laws were complied with within the city of Inver
Grove Heights and I also received a scale drawing of the impound lot that would meet
our specifications. Also specified in our contract is that we receive copies of DOT
inspections on all tow trucks used by the said companies. Southeast Towing did provide
me with a copy of current DOT inspections. East Metro Towing stated that they did not
currently do DOT inspections as they were not currently required by the State of
Minnesota. I was advised that there were random inspections that would be conducted.
However, there was nothing that was required per their licensing. I did check with a
representative from the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Division of the Minnesota State
Patrol and I did confirm that vehicles under the 26,000 pound vehicle weight did not
have to have DOT inspections; anything over the 26,000 pound was required. I did
learn that East Metro did have a DOT number. At this time I have no reason to believe
that East Metro's vehicles would not meet the requirements set forth by the Department
of Transportation.
The specifications for the bid for the towing contract also states that the contractor shall
have equipment with 30,000 pound under -reach capabilities. This would be a tow truck
capable of towing a semi -truck type vehicle or other larger, heavier type vehicle.
Southeast Towing did currently have two 30 ton wreckers in their inventory. East Metro
Towing does not have any vehicles in their inventory that would meet this requirement.
East Metro stated that they would be sub - contracting out with Marks Towing out of
Eagan, MN for their heavy duty towing. And finally in talking with East Metro Towing in
regards to their liability insurance, they did state that they would have the city of Cottage
Grove specifically named as an additionally insured on their policy once they were
advised that the contract would be awarded to them. At this time it is not, however, I do
not believe that that should be held against them until they have been advised if they
receive the contract or not.
After reviewing all paperwork and requirements of the bids, it is of my opinion that the
city of Cottage Grove award a three year towing contract to Southeast Towing effective
July 1, 2010. My recommendation would be based on several factors. The overall
storage fees were less expensive; the additional fees charged for services would have
been cheaper through Southeast even though East Metro did have the less expensive
basic towing fees, I do not believe that they met several requirements stated in the
contract, specifically, the ten minute drive time from the city limits to the impound lot and
their impound lot did not meet the eight foot height requirement for the fencing around it.
East Metro also did not have the 30 ton capability wrecker. This would be a sub - contract
out issue for them. It should also be noted that with my 16 years with the Cottage
Grove Police Department, Southeast Towing has been the provider of towing services
for the city. During that time I have never had any instances or complaints with their
service, they have always gone above and beyond to assist the Cottage Grove Police
Department in any way possible. I feel that they have provided a high quality level of
service to our city in the past and it is of my opinion that the contract should be awarded
to them to continue this service.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
