awarding the tow i ng contract to Hi nson Towing . He prov i ded cop ies of a memo-
r andum addressing purported discrepancies for Council's review . Mr. Beckwith
co ntended that Hin son Towing does not have the necessary r ange of towing I

vice ; and th at Hins on does not identify the subcontractor, and rate, for heavy
equipme nt movements . He ask ed that Council reevaluate the Hi nson Towing con -
tract and award the contract to Bob 's Auto Service as "it is the only bidding
party who meets all of the bid specifications .• He reviewed bidding price
comp ari sons for standard and optional services . He requested, if City Cou nci l

Council Member Bullock requested confirmation from Bob Hinson Towi ng
Specialists and Bob's Auto Service as to their business addresses .
Executive Officer Olson presented a reconrnendat ion from t he Department of
Safety Services to approve by 1110tion a contract for vehicle wrecker and towing
services to Bob Hinson Towing Specialists, 4343 South Santa Fe Drl'.le. Mr .
Olson noted they have served in this capacity for the last two years, staff
has been satisfied with their level of service, and they submitted the lowest
bid . He noted actual costs are substant ia l l y less than the worst case scenar-
io proposed in the bid specifications.
Council Member Habenicht questioned whether the request for bid precluded any
contracting out on the part of the bidder. Hr. Olson stated that during the
bid process Hr. Clothier , owner of Bob's Auto Service, stated his concern with
that issue. As a result , an addendum was mailed to all bi dd ers that had re-
quested bi d packages specifying that heavy duty tow ing could be sub •
contracted. He felt this was not a major is sue as i t is rare for the City to
use this type of specialized heavy duty towing .
~ouncil Membe r Habenicht questioned City Attorney OeWitt on the leg itimac y of
adding an addendum to a bid proposal that has alre ady been distributed, based
on a question from one of the people bidding . Mr. DeW itt noted the bid pro -
posal is used to clarify the bid speci f icati ons. Discu ss ion ensued .

i ng they would back him on any police request for heavy duty eq uipmen t .
