Service, which is determined to be the lowest responsible bidder, for an amount
not to exceed $165,000.00, to be used for towing services, effective upon issuance

WHEREAS, the City solicited bids through Request for Bids No. 3070 ("RFB 3070") for a
three-year service agreement for towing services of City-owned vehicles and equipment;
and
WHEREAS, City staff inspected the wreckers of the apparent low bidder, CC Wrecker,
LLC, and determined that the company did not have a Category 4 wrecker that met all of
the requirements of Section 4.2(M) of RFB 3070; and
WHEREAS, the apparent low bidder, CC Wrecker, LLC, only has one heavy-duty wrecker
permitted by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which does not comply
with the requirement in Section 4.2(M) of RFB 3070 to have no less than two wreckers
permitted by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that are capable of
towing heavy equipment; and
WHEREAS, the apparent low bidder on RFB 3070, CC Wrecker, LLC, failed to meet the
minimum requirements of the bid in that the company did not have the required equipment
to tow the City's heavy vehicles and equipment; and
WHEREAS, the bid submitted by the apparent low bidder, CC Wrecker, LLC, is not
responsive in that it failed to meet the minimum requirements of the bid; and
WHEREAS, CC Wrecker, LLC, is not a responsible bidder in that it cannot reliably provide
the requested services as it does not have the required equipment to tow the City's heavy
vehicles and equipment.
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi,
Texas:
SECTION 1. The City Council specifically finds that the foregoing statements included in
the preamble of this ordinance are true and correct and adopts such findings for all intents
and purposes related to the authorization of this procurement.

agreement for wrecker services for City-owned heavy vehicles and equipment with DRR
