About this file
This is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form issued by the State of Maryland for the towing services solicitation (QATOW30SB) managed by the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) Centreville Shop. The solicitation requests quotes for five types of towing services for SHA fleet vehicles, trucks, and equipment over a three-year contract period. Pricing includes 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 emergencies by the governor or hurricanes. A flat fee structure applies when a rotator truck is required. All pricing must be consolidated into the specified rate structure, with billing permitted from yard departure to return, provided travel time does not exceed one hour.
The form serves as a mechanism for vendors to indicate their decision not to submit a proposal and to provide feedback to improve future state solicitations. Vendors may cite reasons for non-response including other commitments, lack of relevant experience, unclear specifications, capacity limitations, complexity of state procurement processes, competitiveness concerns, insufficient time allowances, restrictive bonding or insurance requirements, unreasonable bid requirements, MBE or VSBE compliance challenges, prior unprofitable state contracts, or slow payment schedules. Invoices under $5,000 may be paid by card without processing fees; otherwise, standard payment is by check with net 15 terms, with free ACH direct deposit available as an alternative.
