Supervisors direct staff to pursue RFQ for towing services after concerns over rate inequality
Summary
Following concerns about unequal towing rates and a desire to prioritize local companies, the board agreed to pursue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to standardize selection of towing providers and establish parameters for service and rates.
Police Chief Christopher Raubenstine provided the board with a list of towing companies used by the township and explained the current selection process. Supervisor David R. Lenker II raised concerns about unequal towing rates among providers and suggested prioritizing township towing companies and setting a cost limit for regular towing, with extra charges allowed for additional services.
Solicitor Sean Shultz recommended preparing a Request for Qualifications to select capable towing companies based on township-defined parameters. The board agreed to instruct staff to prepare an RFQ outlining service expectations, preferred use of local providers and potential rate parameters.
No formal fee limits or a final vendor list were adopted at the meeting; staff and the solicitor were directed to return with an RFQ draft and recommended selection criteria.
