Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Need: To modify and extend the towing contract with Metropolitan Towing and Storage, Inc. in order to continue service to the City for the towing of vehicles from City streets as requested by the Division of Police.

|10
9|Amount of additional funds: $900,000.00 will be needed to extend the contract through January 31, 2005.

|109|Reason additional needs were not foreseen: The need was foreseen, but the City and the Division of Police were proposing to do in-house towing and this has not happened.

|109|Reason other procurement processes not used: Original contract was to expire on August 31, 2004. Formal bid process is being held up until new towing rates are discussed and approved.

|109|How cost was determined: Estimated costs were based on costs from July 2003 through January 2004 with a 4% increase in tows.

Additional Need: Funds will have to be transferred from the Division's Object Level 01 to Object Level 03.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this modification and extension will come from the Division's personnel budget. Originally 13 additional wrecker drivers were budgeted in the Division's 2004 budget. At this point, these positions will not be hired so these funds are available for transfer.

Contract Compliance No.: 31-1035297

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested in order to process payment of the July 2004 monthly towing invoice.
