A-2025-XXX): • Standard Enterprises, Inc., dba To' N' Mo'; • B&D Towing, Inc.; and • MetroPro Road Services, Inc. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department routinely encounters the need to have vehicles towed or stored for a variety of reasons and depends upon private sector partners skilled in the area of towing operations to accomplish this objective. The City currently contracts with four (4) tow companies to provide necessary towing services on a rotational basis. Towing services may include, but are not limited to, towing vehicles from public or private property at the direction of Police employees, owner's request for a tow made via the Police Department, the storage of vehicles, the secure storage of vehicles containing evidentiary value, debris clean-up and removal, recovery services, and administrative oversight of vehicles in the custody of the contractor. On August 17, 2021, the City Council approved agreements with four (4) tow companies to provide towing and storage services upon selection from a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The original agreements covered an initial three-year term through August 31, 2024. On May 1, 2023, the first amendment to the agreement was executed Rotational Towing and Storage Services October 7, 2025 Page 2 to allow for a two percent increase of the towing rate as authorized under the agreement. On August 6, 2024, the City Council approved the second amendment to these agreements to correct the term and allow for two (2) additional one (1) year period options as intended in the RFP but excluded in the original agreement. The Santa Ana Police Department has exercised both one-year extension options through August 31, 2026. One of the contractors requested an amendment in the scope of services to allow for the option and ability to store any towed vehicle and release the vehicle, or any of its contents, in an area close to, but outside of the corporate City limits. The Santa Ana Police Department has evaluated the request and is in support of allowing this amendment for all four contractors. However, one contractor has determined this change in scope is not necessary for their operations and as such, the amendment is not necessary for this specific contractor. The third amendments to the agreements revise Section 1.5, Storage Facility and Vehicle Storage Requirement, to allow the contractor to store any towed vehicle and release the vehicle, or any of its contents, in an area no further than three (3) miles from the corporate City limits. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. EXHIBIT(S) 1.
