The Director of Public Safety or his designee shall serve as
the designated municipal officer with authority to enforce the provisions
of this article in accordance with due process of law. Complaints
of violation of the conditions of this article shall be reviewed by
the Director of Public Safety or his designate, and failure to comply
with its terms and specifications shall be deemed grounds for revocation
of a contract to tow and store motor vehicles and to remove the contractor
in violation from the list of eligible towers.
[Amended 10-14-2015 by Ord. No. MC 3553]
If a contractor by virtue of its demonstrated ability to comply
with the specifications of this article is added to the list of eligible
towers, the contractor will be called and asked to provide towing
and storage services by the Irvington Public Safety Department when
the need arises. Contractors on the list will be called in succession
and the names utilized in rotating fashion whenever jobs arise. If
more than one vehicle is involved in an accident, the next tower in
the rotation will be asked to take all the vehicles involved. If for
some reason a contractor is unable to perform, completely perform
or does not respond within a reasonable time, the Public Safety Department
will go to the next contractor on the list. Once the police reach
the last name on the list, the next contractor called for the next
job shall be the first name on the list. The Township reserves the
right, at its sole discretion, to call other towers not on the list
in the event of an emergency.
Each contractor qualifying to have its name placed on the list
of eligible towers must enter into a contract with the Township of
Irvington, the basis of which is set forth in the specifications.
Each contract shall be for a two-year period from the date of execution
or as otherwise provided in the contract.
