Exhibit "A"
ADDENDUM TO INVITATION TO BID #1809-10
HEAVY-DUTY TOWING AND STORAGE SERVICES
Whereas only one bid was received for Invitation to Bid #1809-10 (the "ITB"); and
Whereas the City of Baytown (the "City") needs heavy-duty towing and storage services to be
provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week;
Therefore, the City and Dan Wheeler Wrecker Service, Inc. (the "Towing Company") agree that
the following items in the ITB will not be a part of the contract:
1.2 b. Successful bidders will be allowed four (4) passes per calendar month,
except as provided in 1.2(c) below. (A pass is defined as: declining a tow when
called by dispatch, not answering when called by dispatch, removing name
from the rotation list, or otherwise not taking a tow when requested to do so.)
1.2 c. Each successful bidder will be allowed to remove its name from the call list
for either one two-week period or two one-week periods during a calendar year.
This removal will not constitute a pass. However, only one bidder may be
removed for any given date. Removal dates will be first come, first served.
1.3 a. (delete "on a rotation basis")
8.5 Passing, as that term is defined in Section 1.2(b) of Exhibit A, more than four
(4) times in a calendar month.
The Parties also agree that if an emergency arises where the capacity of the Towing
Company is exceeded, the Towing Company shall locate another towing service provider
to provide services for the emergency period only under the same terms and conditions as
specified in the ITB at the rates bid by the Towing Company. The Towing Company will
be responsible to assure all conditions of the ITB are followed by the assisting towing
service. The Towing Company will also be responsible to report tows and submit fees to
the City for the tows provided by the assisting towing service. The City shall be notified
immediately upon the determination of such an emergency and shall be notified of the
company who will be assisting. The City's Chief of Police shall have the ability to
decline the use of any particular assisting towing service, in which case the Towing
Company will have to locate another assisting towing service acceptable to the City's
Chief of Police.
Signed this day of October, 2018.
