§ 10.20.205. Bids on towing.

(1)

The city council shall take bids from private operators for schedules of fees for towing and storage of vehicles as provided in this chapter upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe. Thereupon, the city council, after receiving and reviewing said bids, may accept the bid which in its judgment is the most advantageous to the city and in the best interest of the public, and shall thereupon designate the bidder submitting the successful bid to tow and store such vehicles. The appropriate department head or his authorized representative is hereby empowered to order the bidder designated by the city council to tow and store such vehicles as may be necessary and authorized under this section until disposed of as provided in this chapter. Such bidder is hereby authorized to retain such vehicle until the fees, as set out in the bid for towing and storage, shall be paid.

(2)

The city council shall have the right to waive irregularity in any bids, to reject any and all bids received and to re-advertise if desired.
