Title

AN ACT CONCERNING POLICE DEPARTMENT TOWING CONTRACTS for the purpose of providing certain legislative intent; providing certain definitions; providing for certain bid, contract, and subcontract requirements; providing for certain bid, contract, and subcontract reporting; and generally regarding Police Department towing contracts.

Background

This bill encourages County-based minority business enterprises and County- based small businesses to bid on Police Department towing contracts and that successful bidders, contractors, and subcontractors be treated equitably in the number and type of service calls received from the Police Dispatcher on the Police Vendor List. The bill would require that Department of Police towing contracts be bid annually, with no option for extension and that contractors or subcontractors with an employee or employees with one felony conviction be considered as eligible bidders on Police Department towing contracts. The bill imposes reporting requirements to ensure compliance with the law.
