Schedule C: Administrative, Storage, and General Charges
Administrative - A onetime administrative fee of $25 payable to the Township of Voorhees shall be collected for each vehicle towed for the processing and maintenance of towing records. This fee shall be paid to the Township by the tenth of each month. Failure to pay this administrative fee shall result in the removal of the tower from the contract pursuant to § 76.07.
A onetime removal fee of $55 may be charged for each vehicle that has to be removed from the storage facility by means of towing. This fee is intended solely for those vehicles that are inoperable due to damage that requires the tower to remove the vehicle from the storage lot in order for another person or firm to remove the vehicle for disposal.
Storage - There shall be no storage charge for any vehicle that is removed from the storage facility on the same calendar day that it is towed.
Daily Exterior Storage Charge
Class 1 through 5 $35
Class 6 and 7 $45
Class 8 $50
Daily Interior (Covered) Charge (not including tarping)
Class 1 through 5 $50
Class 6 through 8 N/A
In accordance with § 76.08, no storage fee shall be imposed if the tower declines to provide pickup hours on legal holidays.
General - The following general service calls shall apply when the tower responds to a Police request for these services. These types of service calls typically do not require the vehicle to be physically removed from the location rather the tower provides the service on scene and the vehicle is driven by the owner/operator from the scene. Should the services be unsuccessful on scene and the removal of the vehicle is required to complete the repairs/service, at the vehicle owners/operators approval, the above towing fees shall apply.
Lock-Out $75/hour*
*the hour begins upon the tows arrival on scene
Tire Change $75 per tire
Fuel Supply $60 (includes 5 gallons of fuel)
Jump Start $75
These charges shall not apply to Township vehicles
Schedule D: Miscellaneous Charges
Miscellaneous: - Waiting Time: waiting in excess of the initial 30 minutes from the time of arrival on scene to the start of the vehicle removal shall be calculated in 15 minute intervals. A flat fee of $35 per 15 minutes of waiting time shall be permitted after the initial 30 minutes from arrival.
Excessive Clean Up: Cleanup of debris in excess of what one would reasonably expect at the scene of a motor vehicle collision shall be charged in 30 minute intervals. A flat fee of $50 per half hour of excessive clean up shall be permitted.
Fluid Clean Up: A flat fee of $10 per bag of absorbent materials used shall be permitted. Failure to utilize a full bag will be indicative that a standard clean-up occurred and no fee shall be incurred.
Window Wrap: A flat fee of $35 per window for window wrap shall be permitted providing the window wrap was done at the direction of the vehicle owner/operator or police as deemed necessary for investigative purposes.
Tarping: A flat fee of $50 shall be permitted to tarp a vehicle provided the tarping was done at the direction of the vehicle owner/operator or police as deemed necessary for investigative purposes.
Transmission Disconnect: A flat fee of $100 shall be permitted if the vehicles drive train components are required to be disconnected in order to remove the vehicle. The removal of the drive shaft, drive axel, linkage or any other component under the vehicle which said removal would permit the rotation of the vehicles tires for removal would constitute a "disconnect".
