Council awards towing contract to Kendall Towing after competitive bid
Summary
The police department’s recommendation to award a towing-services contract to Kendall Towing of Milan, Illinois, passed on council vote after members were told the vendor submitted a lower bid than a local company.
The Rock Island City Council approved a contract awarding towing services to Kendall Towing of Milan, Illinois, after a competitive bidding process, the council recorded Monday.
A staff report recommended awarding the bid to Kendall Towing; a motion to approve the contract and authorize the city manager to execute the documents passed on roll call with alderpersons Pulis, Healy, Evans, Hertz, Barnes, Swanson and Parker voting “aye.”
When an alderman asked why a local company (Quad City Total) was not selected, staff replied that the award followed a competitive bid and that Kendall Towing submitted a substantially lower price.
The contract award authorizes the city manager to sign the documents necessary to implement the towing services contract; no dollar figure was stated in the council discussion recorded in the meeting minutes for this agenda item.
