Action Requested
Approve, by motion, a Towing Agreement between the City of Elk River and Collins Brothers Towing.
Background/Discussion
On June 22, 2016, the city released a Request for Proposals for towing, impounding, and storage of
motor vehicles.
The proposal due date was July 1, 2016, and the city received two proposals; Collins Brothers Towing,
and Bob's Towing and Recovery of Elk River.
Per the RFP, each proposing company was scored based on 12 categories. The results are as follows:
■ Collins Brothers Towing - 65 points
Bob's Towing and Recovery - 15 points
The performance standards ranged from charges for towing passenger vehicles including cars, light trucks
(3/4 ton or less), vans, utility vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicles, motorcycles and recreational vehicles (to
include ATVs, snowmobiles, and mini bikes) to administrative fees. In addition, an evaluation of storage
facilities was factored into the final outcome.
Following a formal scoring process of both proposals, staff is recommending the city enter into a three-
year contract with Collins Brothers Towing.

families dated back some eighty years plus. li kh my experience of approximately six years at
the time the trucks we purchased, and with hard work and tenacity we made it to where we
are today. We obtained sixteen contracts with road service clubs that service people all
across the nation. We service the Big Lake and Becker Police Departments, Sherburne County
Sheriffs Office, Wright County Sheriff's Office, and the Minnesota State Patrol. We are
proud to say we have been able to handle everything we have been called upon and with
many compliments on our service and courtesy. It has always been a collaborative effort
between ourselves and the local agencies to get the job done well and safely. We service
many different repair shops throughout our service area when their customers call for
towing. Bob's Towing also believes with business comes community involvement. Our
drivers and their families have the option to participate in at least one. We are involved in
the Becker Community with Freedom Days, Walk for Cancer, the many events the Becker
Community Center has such as Kids Touch a Truck event, and the Becker Chamber of
Commerce. Big Lake we are involved in the annual Spudfest celebration, Big Lake Chamber of
Commerce, we are members of the Big Lake Fire Dept., Big Lake Music in the Park, Big Lake

To conclude we hope the information provided answers any questions that may arise. We
will provide exceptional timely service for the Elk River Police Department and departments
of the City of Elk River. We do know the kind of work involved with possible investigations,
forfeitures, some pretty traumatic scenes, and crime scene preservation. Our goal is to meet
the requirements requested by the City of Elk River in a reasonable amount of time or subject
to termination. We would like an equal opportunity to serve the citizens of Elk River and the
motoring public that passes through our great city when an Elk River officer requests a tow.
We feel it is in the best interest of the city to have another option on an equal rotating list.
We are very thankful and proud for the opportunities given to us. Thank you very much for
your time and we look forward to serving the City of Elk River Police Department and the
residence of the City of Elk River.
