Background:

On May 25, 2016, City Council passed a resolution authorizing the Acting Chief of Police to terminate without cause the current SafeClear Freeway Towing and Emergency Road Service Agreement (Contract No. C76536), with USAACC, Inc., dba USA Auto Collision Center, which applied to SafeClear Segment 17: South Freeway (288) outside 610.
