RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Atco Tow, Inc., effective February 2, 2021, to increase the payment limit of $250,000 by $200,000 to a new payment limit of $450,000 with no change to the contract term of February 1, 2019 to January 31, 2022, to provide on-call vehicle towing services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Fleet Internal Services Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services maintains all County vehicles. As such, vehicle towing is an important part in getting damaged or broken units from one point to another. COVID 19 and social distancing protocols have presented challenges with regards to the drop-off and pickup of County vehicles. As a result, the contract balance has risen substantially.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This amendment will be adding $200,000 to the current contract limit of $250,000. This amendment is needed to ensure the County has access to the contractor's services through the term of the contract. The increase in contract limit will be used as needed, with no minimum amount that must be used.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved the County would be hampered in its ability to have vehicles towed as needed.
