About this file
This is a Price Form Instructions document from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) for a readvertised towing services contract opportunity. The solicitation requests quotes for five types of towing services for SHA fleet vehicles, trucks, and equipment from the Centreville Shop, with a three-year contract term. Pricing shall include hourly rates for light duty, medium duty, heavy duty, and equipment towing, as well as separate hourly rates for after-hours service and severe weather conditions (winter snow emergencies declared by the governor or hurricanes). A flat fee applies when a rotator vehicle is required. The contract was initially advertised with a small business set-aside but is being readvertised without restrictions due to receiving only one bid in the first round. Subcontracting is limited, and vendors must perform a portion of towing services in-house to be eligible.
All pricing must be submitted on the provided Price Form without alterations, with all unit and extended prices clearly entered in dollars and cents, fully loaded to include labor, profit, overhead, administrative costs, and all expenses necessary to perform the work. Vendors may bill from departure of their yard until return, provided travel time does not exceed one hour. The items listed on the price form will be the only billable items on invoices to SHA. Payment may be made by card for invoices under $5,000 if no card processing fees are charged; otherwise, payment is by check via mail with net 15 terms, or by free ACH direct deposit. All editable fields must be completed, calculations must be accurate and rounded to the nearest cent, and failure to adhere to these instructions may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

Follow these instructions carefully when completing your Price Form:
A) All Unit and Extended Prices must be clearly entered in dollars and cents, e.g., $24.15. Make your decimal points clear and distinct.
B) All Unit Prices must be the actual price per unit the State will pay for the specific item or service identified in this IFB/RFP and may not be contingent on any other factor or condition in any manner.

D) Any goods or services required through this IFB/RFP which are proposed to be provided at No Cost to the State must be clearly entered in the Unit Price, if appropriate, and Extended Price with $0.00.
E) Every editable field in the Price Form shall be completed. Any changes or corrections made to the Price Form by the Bidder/Offeror prior to submission due date shall be initialed and dated, if required, or submitted as a new Price Form through eMMA. Partial or incomplete Bids/Proposals will be rejected unless otherwise stated in the solicitation.
F) Except as instructed on the Price Form, nothing shall be entered on or attached to the Price Form that proposes conditions or contingencies on the prices. Conditions may render the Bid not responsive or the Proposal not reasonably susceptible for being selected for award.
G) It is imperative that the prices included on the Price Form have been entered correctly and calculated accurately by the Bidder/Offeror and that the respective total prices agree with the entries on the Price Form. Any incorrect entries or inaccurate calculations by the Bidder/Offeror will be treated as provided in COMAR 21.05.02.12 and may cause the Bid/Proposal to be rejected.
H) All pricing, including labor rates, entered in the Price Form must be fully loaded prices that include all costs/expenses associated with the provision of services required by the IFB/RFP. Examples may include all labor, profit/overhead, general operating, administrative, and all other expenses and costs necessary to perform the work set forth in the solicitation. No other amounts will be paid to the Contractor.

K) Failure to adhere to any of these instructions may result in the Bid being determined not responsive or the Proposal being determined not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award.
