There may be times when the Contractor comes across a vehicle blocking the roadway although not assigned to the call or next on the rotation list. At the discretion of the officer at the scene, the Contractor may be directed to assist in moving the vehicle to the side of the roadway only.

The Contractor shall remain in compliance with CVC § 10652 as required. 7. Due to the negative perception of Private Party impounds (PPI's) and the nexus to predatory towing practices, whether actual or perceived, the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Police Department have an interest in ensuring any Contractor working on its behalf is not associated with these practices. In addition, tow companies that engage in PPI's are subjected to complaints and investigations on a more frequent basis than those that do not participate in this facet of the towing business. Therefore, the City strongly discourages any Contractor assigned to the rotational tow list from engaging in PPI's within the corporate limits of the City of Santa Ana. Subject to the investigative process outlined in the RFP, any company found to be m violation of PPI regulations including, but not limited to, applicable sections of CVC § 22658 or any other laws or regulations associated with PPI's shall be subject to suspension or immediate removal from the rotation list for sustained complaints or convictions for violations of the lacy.

All tow requests originating from the Santa Ana Police Department may be made utilizing this program. The Contractor's failure to have the DTS program in fill operation and to acknowledge tow requests in a timely manner pursuant to this RFP shall result in a finding of default and shall result in immediate suspension from the tow rotation list. Failure to remedy the problem shall be grounds for the termination of the agreement between the City and the Contractor. The Contractor must be willing to must enter into a separate agreement, contract, or license for DTS software, or any other software solution implemented by the City, with the owner of that proprietary software. The City shall not provide the software program, any licensing or sub -licensing thereof or any intermediary services for the procurement by the Contractor of the software program. This Contract shall not be executed by the City until the Contractor has demonstrated to the City's Project Manager or designee satisfactory compliance with the requirements set forth herein. The Contractor shall be liable for all fees, charges, rates and service charges required for the procurement and use of DTS software or any similar software solution.

A fair, impartial and comprehensive investigation shall be conducted and the findings documented for review. To the extent required by law, the Contractor shall cooperate fully in the investigation and provide any documentation requested by the investigator to assist in malting a finding. In addition, the Contractor shall be given the opportunity, either orally or in writing, to respond to the complaint at the point deemed appropriate by the investigator. The City expects that the Contractor will demonstrate professional business practices and truth in reporting as it relates to any records or information requested. Minor infractions shall include, but not be limited to, situations such as poor customer service, failure to comply with non -safety related terms of the agreement, or minor equipment or facility deficiencies.

If it is determined that criminal charges are appropriate, the assigned investigator shall document the incident on a crime report and present the case to the appropriate prosecuting authority for review. Based on the nature and seriousness of the misconduct being investigated, the Chief of Police may temporarily suspend the Contractor, or its agent individually, from the rotation list until the investigation is completed and a proper disposition is reached. The standard for sustaining a complaint against the Contractor or the Contractor's agent shall be a preponderance of the evidence, regardless of the nature of the violation. Other investigative findings may include unfounded (false or factually incorrect), exonerated (action occurred but was lawful or within the terns of this agreement) or not sustained (inconclusive due to insufficient evidence or independent witnesses). Alt complaints shall be forwarded to the Traffic Commander for review, approval and determinatiotVrecorrunendation of discipline if appropriate. U.

Disciplinary action shall typically be progressive in nature and based on the Contractor's record during the previous five (5) years from the date of complaint. Therefore, multiple infractions for similar offenses, regardless of their severity, will result in increased disciplinary action, However, this does not preclude the Traffic Commander from recommending more serious sanctions where major rule violations have been committed or there are aggravating facts associated with the misconduct. The following actions may be recommended: 1. No further action. 2. Issue a written warning. 3. Impose a suspension for minor violations (one (l) to 30-days). 4. Impose a suspension for multiple minor violations or a single major violation (30 to 90-days). 5. Termination of the contract for cause and immediate removal from the rotation list. The Contractor shall be notified in writing of the City's intent to impose disciplinary action. The Traffic Commander shall have the authority to impose discipline up to and including the imposition of a suspension for minor violations as long as the suspension does not exceed 30-days in length. However, nothing in this article shall preclude the Traffic Commander from reducing the recommended discipline based on mitigating facts. Recommended suspensions exceeding 30- days in length or termination from the rotation list shalt be approved by the Field Operations Bureau Commander prior to imposition. The Traffic Commander may recommend to the Chief of Police the immediate termination of this agreement if the conduct of the Contractor, or agents, are determined to pose a danger to the public, have an excessive number of complaints that tax the investigative resources of the Police Department, or the Contractor's actions reflect negatively upon the City. V. RIGHT TO APPEAL Upon receipt of a notice to impose disciplinary action, the Contractor shall have the right to submit a written appeal within ten (10) business days to the Field Operations Bureau Commander. The Field Operations Bureau Commander shall issue their findings in writing within ten (10) business days of the receipt of written appeal. If the Contractor disagrees with the findings of the appeal, their final remedy shall be the opportunity to submit a written appeal to the Chief of Police within ten (10) business days, via the Traffic Commander.

However, if the conduct of the Contractor is deemed to be so egregious or poses a danger to public safety, the City may exercise its tight to immediately suspend the Contractor as set forth in this agreement. In such cases, the time during which the Contractor is suspended may be applied to the balance of a suspension imposed by the City, at the discretion of the hearing officer, and shall be the Contractor's only remedy as far as a pre -hearing suspension is concerned. Anytime in excess of that credited toward an imposed suspension shall be lost. Failure to request an appeal, submit a written appeal, or appear at a mutually agreed upon hearing will waive the Contractor's right to further appeal and disciplinary action shall be imposed. W.
