City of Elk River Towing Agreement THIS AGREEMENT made the 1st day of May, 2008, by and between the CITY OF ELK RIVER, a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "City", and Trent Morrell d/b/a Morrell Towing, hereinafter referred to as Morrell Towing. WHEREAS, the City has the need, from time to time, to contract with private towing companies for the towing and/or storage of police impounded vehicles, vehicles required to be towed from accident scenes, and stalled or broken down vehicles; and WHEREAS, it is City's intent to contract with several private towing companies to provide towing services, and to contact those companies for towing services on a rotational basis; and WHEREAS, Morrell Towing desires to be among the private companies providing towing services to the City on a rotational basis; and WHEREAS, City desires to include Morrell Towing on its call list for towing services, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS AND PROMISES CONTAINED HEREIN, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS: I) The City shall include Morrell Towing on its call list to provide towing services. Towing services shall be provided only at the request of the Elk River Police Department. Contact with Morrell Towing will either be made by the Police Department itself, or through Sherburne County Dispatch. 2) Morrell Towing shall provide non-exclusive towing services within the City of Elk River. Morrell Towing shall tow, remove and store vehicles at the request of the Elk River Police Department. Morrell Towing shall respond to all calls for tow or tow service within twenty (20) minutes of being called by either dispatch or the Police Department. If Morrell Towing cannot respond within 20 minutes, it shall immediately so advise the Police Department so that a different towing company can be dispatched. Failure of Morrell Towing to respond within 20 minutes of a request for a tow will authorize the Police Department to dispatch a different towing company, in which case Morrell Towing will not be entitled to any compensation for that call. 3) Nothing in this agreement precludes a vehicle owner from requesting a private tow, or Motor Club tow, unless the ordering and response time for the private tow would create excessive delays. 4) Morrell Towing shall provide at least fifteen (15) parking stalls within the City for storage of towed vehicles. These stalls shall be within an area secured by a lockable fence and, together with one indoor secure stall, shall behfor the exclusive use for calls by the Elk River Police Department. The
