The City of Lancaster, CA was seeking proposals from qualified tow operators to enter into an agreement for the provision of rotational towing services. The services included the removal of vehicles from the public right-of-way and private property, as well as towing services for City-owned and -operated vehicles. The RFP was cancelled due to a lack of responsive proposals. Key points to consider for similar contracts include the need for tow operators to be located within the City's jurisdictional limits, have a valid City-issued business license, and be capable of responding to any location within the City's jurisdictional limits within 30 minutes.
