Towtruck Contract Tender
[placeholder]
While the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department and City of Los Santos operate wreckers and tow trucks, the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department is placing a tender for privately towing companies to assist with towing work. Duties will include vehicle recovery, impounding, motor vehicle collision cleanup, and vehicle transport. Services will be on an "as and when requested basis" and no guaranteed minimum or a maximum number of calls can be provided. The Department will operate on a "first come first serve" basis and put out a general call for wrecker services for contracted trucks to attend via a private radio frequency available for drivers and operators registered under the contract. Multiple opportunities are available for single owner-operators as well as larger organizations.

A) PROJECT AND TENDERS

Self-initiated service is not permitted under terms of the contract and cannot be billed. Contractors must ensure that third-party property is handled with care and instructions of the authorizing employee are followed to the letter to ensure fulfilment of the assignment and therefore the contract. Any deviation will result in non-payment and may result in termination of the contract under section 8.0.
5.0 Record Keeping

Contractors must carry applicable insurance for themselves or their employees and no excess remuneration will be provided for damage to the contractor's property or personnel in the commission of official duties. The LSSD is not liable for any damages, injury, or death to any of its contractors during normal commission of duties. The LSSD does not assume liability for any lost wages, profit, or business due to the commission of a contractor's agreed-upon duties. Damage to third-party property during the commission of duties is bared solely by the contractor.
7.0 Contractor Employment Status
  • Contractors are not provided any special privileges under the law and are considered civilian contractors of the County of Los Santos.
