In 2011, the municipal tow contract of a municipality in the Kansas City area went up for bid. This contract had stringent requirements. For example, eligible bidders had to have a tow lot which had a minimum of two (2) acres of hard based surface (i.e. asphalt or concrete) located in the municipality. Moreover, eligible bidders had to have this lot in place and ready for inspection at the time of bid, meaning a tow company could not have a lease or other real estate option contingent on winning the tow contract.
