Autobody Repair and Towing / Recovery Services

The City of Springfield is establishing a qualified‑vendor roster for auto‑body repair and towing/recovery services for its municipal fleet. Vendors may qualify for one or both service categories and, if selected, will be eligible for future task orders or contracts as needs arise. The solicitation requires detailed statements of qualifications, proof of insurance, licensing, experience, equipment descriptions, rate schedules, and references. No award is guaranteed; the City will evaluate qualifications based on capability, experience, emergency response ability, and cost. • Services sought: collision‑damage repair, panel replacement, painting, rust remediation, glass work, and priority repairs; plus light‑, medium‑, and heavy‑duty towing, winching, 24/7 emergency response, and secure storage. • Eligibility: Must be located within Springfield city limits, hold appropriate Illinois towing licenses (for towing) and insurance, and demonstrate fleet/body‑shop experience with municipal or commercial clients. • Submission: SOQ uploaded via the City’s electronic bid portal (or delivered sealed in person) by 3 p.m. on 15 Oct 2026; questions due 6 Oct 2026.
