A copy ofthat letter is enclosed. In addition to Caldwell's Towing. I also <br />represent J&R Towing and Tom's Towing. <br /> <br />In addition to the protest I set forth in my carli'cr letter, thcr;: are additional Orotunds to <br />challenge the award of rotational to «vine- contracts. The police department did not follow its O4Vil <br />Rcque:st fox Qualifications. The failure to €ollow the RFQ includes the following: <br />1. The RFQ says that the city intends to contract t�•it}t five lovvinO companies. However, <br />in actuality only four companies were selected, as Santa Ana Towing and A &P Towing are <br />effectively the same company with the same ONVI10I•ship, us111`.1 tile: same yard. <br />2. The RFQ Says that the proposer's exP36ellce and reputation are to count for 25% of the <br />criteria. In addition, an implementation plan is to count for 25 °0 of the criteria, includimy "ability <br />to .,o,- f�,,,•,,, 4., ., .-,!. F C',,...,'.1,.. �, i- ,315 \r. I_f.

It is a mystery how three of the companies v,-ho have been towing for the. city for Lip <br />to forty' years, ie. Cal& ell's Totiving, .tee R Toxv�in -. anJ Tom's Towing, could have had any <br />difficulty not scoring the hi-hest n-mil .s for experience and the implementation plan, since they <br />have in fact been actually performing the work for the City, they've implemented all -o, dy. Ye <br />this experience was ignored and two companic;s who hav °e not toured for the city, 'To & Mo, and <br />B & D Towing, v` -ere selected. <br />
