Freeway Service Patrol Services
This Request for Bid Proposal (RFP) is being advertised by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (Commission) to provide a Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) service. The Commission is the short range transportation planning agency for Riverside County. The Commission has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to fund peak hour freeway service patrols on selected freeway segments in Riverside County.
The purpose of the project is to provide for the rapid removal of disabled vehicles and those involved in minor accidents from the freeway. Where conditions permit, safe removal of small debris will be required. Contractor vehicles shall be exclusively dedicated to the service during the hours of operation. All vehicle maintenance activities shall be conducted during non-service hours.
The Contractor's vehicle operators shall assist motorists involved in minor accidents and those with disabled vehicles. They shall be responsible for clearing the freeway of automobiles, small trucks and small debris. When and where conditions warrant, service may be executed on the freeway shoulders. Where conditions do not warrant, vehicle operators will remove the vehicles from the freeway to provide service. The vehicle operators shall continuously patrol their assigned beat, respond to CHP dispatchers for service, use the designated turnaround locations and use the CHP identified designated drop locations.
