Proposal Evaluation and Selection of Contract It is the intent of the City to enter into a contract with the towing service that will best serve the City's needs and meet all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the City will evaluate proposals in a manner consistent with the following: Evaluation Criteria All towing service proposals will be evaluated on their ability to provide the following services and the cost that each towing service business will charge for providing each service. The towing and storage services listed below have been given a point total based on the service provided to citizens and the City of Ramsey. Proposals can score a maximum of 75 points.
