All bidders meeting specifications will be placed in the vendor pool. The order in which successful companies will be called out will be determined by the Grand Total submitted by each company from the Pricing Schedule attachment.
If the first company is unavailable for any reason, the next vendor in order will then be dispatched. If the dispatched towing service first called accepts the call but does not arrive within the specified allowable time, the call out will be canceled with no allowable charges to Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office or the vehicle owner.
