Tow Truck Services / DPWP

The City of Worcester solicited sealed bids to provide on‑call tow‑truck services for the Department of Public Works & Parks over a two‑year base period, with a possible discretionary third year. Selected vendors must supply trucks equipped with self‑loading apparatus to move illegally parked vehicles during street‑sweeping and leaf‑removal operations, charging an hourly rate per truck only. The contract awards went to Boulevard Garage (primary) and Belsito’s Auto (secondary), each quoted $68 and $75 per hour respectively. The award roster will list up to four vendors ordered by the lowest hourly rate. Key points include: • Scope: municipal towing support for seasonal street‑sweeping (≈ 8‑10 weeks) and optional fall leaf‑removal (≈ 4‑6 weeks). • Pricing: hourly rate per truck; no additional charges permitted; prompt‑pay discounts considered. • Requirements: appropriate insurance, DPU tariff approval, CORI background checks, and a one‑year equipment guarantee.
