CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
POLICE DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 4, 2022
FROM: POLICE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO POLICE DEPARTMENT
TOWING SERVICE AGREEMENTS
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 05
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Motion, approve the Amendments to the Police Department Towing Service Agreements with Standard Enterprises dba To’ and Mo’ Towing, P&H Enterprises, Inc., dba Anaheim Fullerton Towing Company, Pacific Towing, Inc., and Country City Towing, Inc. for vehicle towing and associated services for the Police Department to extend the contract period through December 31, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
In October 2017, the Police Department entered into Agreements with four tow companies, Standard Enterprises dba To’ and Mo’ Towing, P&H Enterprises, Inc., dba Anaheim Fullerton Towing Company, Pacific Towing, Inc., and Country City Towing, Inc. for vehicle towing and associated services. The Police Department uses contracted towing services to tend to disabled, illegally parked or abandoned vehicles, remove vehicles from a traffic collision and perform clean-up as required, as well as to impound vehicles involved in criminal investigations. The agreements require the respective vendors to have the following: a business location within the Anaheim city limits that is staffed from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except City recognized holidays); dispatch capabilities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year; a 15 minute response time for normal tow requests, or within 45 minutes when a large capacity tow vehicle is required; uniformed drivers; have an acceptable, secure storage area capable of holding at least 100 vehicles with proper spacing in between with a separate, enclosed and secure evidence hold area; possess the required classes of tow vehicles and drivers with appropriate licenses and endorsements who possess good driving records; and no contracted towing service or applicant shall be directly involved in the towing related business of any other contracted towing service or applicant within the City of Anaheim.
The Department is currently evaluating Request for Proposals for the new contract period and requires an amendment to extend the contract period through December 31, 2022 to ensure there is no lapse in service until the new contracts are awarded by Council. Additionally, due to the current economic situation and inflation, the rates will be increased for the amended period. These rates were included and will be consistent with the upcoming tow agreements.

There is no impact on the General Fund or the City’s budget. All fees, charges, and expenses, and the collection thereof, are the responsibility of the participating tow companies. There are no charges to the City for these towing services.
Respectfully submitted,
Jorge Cisneros
Chief of Police
