Placer County Freeway Service Patrol

The Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) is seeking proposals to provide towing services for the Placer County Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program. The FSP program is a congestion management program operating in the metropolitan areas of California that facilitates the rapid clearing of crashes and other incidents, thereby improving traffic flow. FSP tow truck operators patrol designated sections of congested freeways primarily during peak traffic periods, stopping to assist motorists, removing debris from the roadways, or towing vehicles from the freeway.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) describes the FSP program, outlines proposal requirements, lists the criteria that will be used to evaluate proposals, and details the selection schedule. Below is a link to download the RFP, as well as the required Cost Proposal Form, the Valley Division Standard Operating Guidelines, and a Sample Contractor Services Agreement.
