About this file
This is a Price Form Instructions document issued by the State of Maryland for use in responding to Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP) submissions, specifically applicable to a towing services solicitation for the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) Centreville Shop. The solicitation seeks quotes for five types of towing services for SHA fleet vehicles, trucks, and equipment over a three-year contract period. Pricing shall include hourly rates for light duty, medium duty, heavy duty, and equipment towing, with separate hourly rates for after-hours service and severe weather conditions declared by the governor, such as winter snow emergencies or hurricanes. A flat fee applies when rotator services are required. No specific response dates, bid submission deadlines, site visits, or bidders' conferences are mentioned in this instruction document.
All pricing must be submitted on the provided Price Form without alterations, with all unit and extended prices clearly entered in dollars and cents using distinct decimal points and rounded to the nearest cent. Bidders must complete every editable field on the Price Form, and all pricing including labor rates must be fully loaded to encompass all costs and expenses associated with service delivery; no additional compensation beyond the submitted prices will be authorized. Billing for towing services shall be calculated from departure from the contractor's yard until return, provided travel time does not exceed one hour, and invoices under $5,000 may be paid by card if no processing fees are charged, with alternative payment options including check by mail under net 15 terms or free ACH direct deposit. Failure to adhere to the Price Form instructions may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive or not reasonably susceptible of selection for award.

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.
C) All calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent, e.g., .344 shall be .34 and .345 shall be .35.
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.
