(a) Contracts for towing and emergency road service with the New York State Department of Transportation shall be awarded on the basis of competitive bidding. Contracts shall be awarded to the highest responsible bidder for a term not to exceed one year; however, the department may specify that it shall have the option to extend the contract for a term or terms not to exceed two additional years, which may or may not be exercised by the department as it shall deem in the public interest. The department may also specify that bids contain a provision that the contractor agree to provide service during such option term or terms at the same annual fee as set forth in its bid. The contractor is not entitled to such an option term or terms.
(b) Contracts shall authorize only towing and emergency road service operations on the particular zone of such parkway for which awarded, except as specifically provided in this Part.
(c) Contracts are not transferable, delegable or assignable without the approval of the department. The department will approve a transfer, assignment, or delegation only upon a finding that the public will continue to receive adequate service.
(d) With the award of each contract, the department shall issue tower identification forms, which must be kept in all towing vehicles at all times while conducting operations under the contract. Further, the contractor's name, address, and telephone number must be permanently affixed on each side of each vehicle used in connection with the parkway towing contract.
(e) All tow trucks, other equipment, and premises to be utilized in parkway operations are subject to inspection by the department prior to engaging in parkway activity. These items shall be further subject to department inspection, with or without prior notice, at any time during the term of the contract.
