CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 7 May 13, 2003 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Administrative Services Department Glen Everroad, Revenue Manager, ext. 3141, everroad@city.newport-beach.ca.us SUBJECT: OFFICIAL POLICE TOW TRUCK CONTRACTS ISSUE: Should the agreements for operation of the official police tow truck services be awarded to G & W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing? RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached proposed agreements with G & W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing to provide official police tow truck services. DISCUSSION: Background: Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 5.15 regulates official police towing services, and establishes the process and criteria for selection of the official police tow truck providers. Section 5.15.080 provides that the tow truck operators awarded a bid are required to enter into an agreement which contains eligibility requirements, operating regulations, and fee schedules adopted by the City Council. The contracts with the two current official police service providers expired on April 30, 2003. On March 14, 2003, the City Clerk advertised for bids for official police tow services in the City's official newspaper. Two companies, G & W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing, submitted bids to provide official police tow truck services. The Municipal Code establishes the standards for equipment and rules for operation for official police tow service providers. Section 5.15.070 provides that the City Council shall take into account the following considerations in the selection of the official police tow service providers: Official Police Tow Truck Contracts May 13, 2002 Page 2 Whether the applicant is qualified on the basis of moral character, experience in the towing business, and financial responsibility; m The level and quality of service which would be made available to the public; such as, accessibility and adequacy of the storage facilities, whether there is an attendant on duty as opposed to being on call to release vehicles on a twenty - four -hour basis, and availability of extra pieces of equipment over the minimum required; Reasonableness of fees to be charged for service and willingness to release vehicle without charge if impounded or stored in the course of carrying out an official police investigation, upon direction of the Chief of Police; Physical condition of equipment; and, o Whether the facilities, personnel, and equipment which the applicant proposes to use meet applicable Municipal and State requirements of law. The Police Department has investigated and reported on the bids received from both companies (copies attached). The attached report from the Police Department recommends approval of the contracts with the two bidders. The attached proposed agreements with G & W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing provide for their continued services as official police tow truck service providers through April 30, 2008. The agreements address the services to be provided, rates charged, insurance, indemnification, transfer, storage of vehicles, record keeping, etc. The proposed agreements include non - substantive technical changes to the previous agreements, as well as the following proposed changes: Section 1. TERM — A provision was added to this section to continue the term for an additional five years at the discretion of the City, provided performance is deemed acceptable. Section 3. RATE SCHEDULES — A sentence was added to permit the City to revise the fee schedule by mutual agreement at any time upon a finding that a rate adjustment is justified. This addition establishes consistency with the language in Municipal Code Section 5.15.080. A copy of the proposed rate schedules is attached. Section 7. INSURANCE — Commercial liability, automotive liability, and workers' compensation insurance requirements have been added at the suggestion of the Risk Manager. Section 9. STORAGE OF VEHICLES — Two paragraphs have been deleted, one requiring personal property be delivered to the Police Department and the other preventing storage fees from being imposed on recovered stolen vehicles. Official Police Tow Truck Contracts May 13, 2002 Page 3 Section 12. RECORDS — A provision was added requiring the operator to reimburse the City for the cost of an audit if such audit determines that the operator underpaid contract service fees by 10% or more. Section 18. INTEGRATED CONTRACT — A provision was deleted that stated the City reserved the right to amend Chapter 5.15 to establish three official police tow service providers. These revisions were reviewed and approved by the Police Department and City Attorney's Office. Environmental Review: There is no environmental impact related to this action. Public Notice: Posted with Agenda Funding Availability: There is no budget expenditure applicable. The costs for services provided by the official police tow service providers are paid by the public. Staff's costs in administration of the official police tow service agreements are recovered through the contract services fees paid by the operators (Section 11). Alternatives: 1. Perform official police tow services using City staff and facilities. 2. Contract with G & W and MetroPro- Harbor Towing to perform official police tow services (Recommended).

Andy Gonis, Traffic Services Commander Subject: OFFICIAL POLICE TOW CONTRACTS Recommendation: The Police Department recommends that the City renew its official police tow -truck service agreement with both G &W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing companies. The City's current five -year contract with both companies expires in the near future. The renewal, if approved, will be in place for the next five years. Analysis: G & W Towing and MetroPro- Harbor Towing have served as official tow agencies for the Police Department for many years. Both companies have carried out their duties and responsibilities over the life of the current contract in a commendable manner. Each company has displayed the moral character and professional experience that is required by the Newport Beach Municipal Code. The managers and employees of both companies have always been very professional and positive in their dealings with our personnel and the citizens in the community. Minor operational issues (that are expected along the way in an around - the -clock operation) were resolved in an expedient manner during this contractual period. The annexation of Newport Coast, which took place this past year, increased the service levels of both companies and they each met this staffing challenge successfully. There are several additional areas that require comment. Both companies have excellent facilities and they have 24 -hour dispatch operations. Both company's service vehicles and equipment are kept in optimal service condition and are in compliance with applicable regulations. The response times for both agencies have been excellent. In summary, both companies have provided outstanding service to the Police Department and the City throughout the duration of their contracts. Based upon the long track record of consistent superior performance, the Police Department recommends that G &W and MetroPro- Harbor Towing companies continue as NBPD official police tow agencies.

In 1998, MetroPro - Harbor expanded its service commitment in the Newport Beach community by acquiring John's Towing.
