MCPD Tow Truck Rotation

Project Description: Dear Tow Truck Owner,
It is time again for our annual tow truck rotation RFP. Please note that this year, in addition to our regular 2
Phase RFP, we will be adding an additional RFP for heavy duty towing. Three companies will be chosen for that
rotation. Please be on the look out for that announcement as it will be running congruently with this RFP. If you
qualify you can apply for that RFP as well.
Phase 1 of the RFP process will start with a request for any towing company interested in being on Murray City's
PD Rotation List to submit a Letter of Intent (Attached – Phase 1), and a valid business license or other
proof that your towing company is currently in operation. You must be in business for at least six months
prior to bid and provide a valid State Tax impound yard number. This letter will need to be turned in on or before
June 4, 2025 by 3:00 pm MST. During the week of June 4-9, Murray City Police Department will
review all received Letters of Intent and conduct a computerized random drawing to select 15 towing
companies to move forward into Phase 2 of the application process.
Those 15 selected companies will then have until June 23, 2025 by 3:00 pm MST, to submit the entire application
packet (Attached – Phase 2). It is important to note that failure to meet this deadline or the minimum
requirements outlined in the RFP will result in disqualification from being included on the pre-approved
towing rotation list until the next request for towing applications is initiated.
I would like to emphasize that all vendors who submit a Letter of Intent will be notified whether they
have been selected to proceed to Phase 2 or not by email on Monday, June 9, 2025. We have implemented this
two-phased approach to alleviate the burden on vendors by allowing them to bypass the strict process of
meeting minimum requirements before the final selection of 15 providers is made.
Furthermore, if one (or more) of the 15 selected vendors fails to meet the minimum requirements of the Phase 2
requirements before the deadline, Murray City will reach out to alternative companies who were ranked 16th, 17th,
18th, and so forth.
We believe that this revised process will enhance efficiency, fairness, and transparency in our procurement
process while also providing an opportunity for a broader pool of towing companies to participate.
It’s important to note that due to the random selection process and the limited
number of providers chosen, submitting a Letter of Intent does not guarantee placement on the rotation
list. Should you have any questions or require further clarification regarding this two-phased RFP process,
please do not hesitate to contact Amandah Maudsley, Murray City Purchasing Agent,
amaudsley@murray.utah.gov.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to your continued participation in Murray
City's procurement processes.
Sincerely,
Amandah Maudsley
