About this file
This is a Conflict of Interest Affidavit document required for submission with bids and proposals to the State of Maryland, specifically applicable to the towing services procurement for the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) Easton Shop in Talbot County. The affidavit requires offerors and all associated personnel to disclose any conflicts of interest that may impair their ability to render impartial assistance or advice to the State or provide an unfair competitive advantage. Offerors must warrant that no relevant facts or circumstances exist that would give rise to conflicts of interest, except as specifically disclosed in the affidavit. If potential conflicts arise after submission, offerors are obligated to immediately notify the procurement officer in writing with a full description of the circumstances and proposed mitigation actions.
The affidavit applies to offerors, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, and their employees or agents with authority to control or supervise work. The document requires completion under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative, with submission mandated alongside all bid and proposal submissions. The definition of "conflict of interest" and "person" are referenced to COMAR 21.05.08.08 and COMAR 21.01.02.01B(64), respectively. This is a small business reserve procurement for towing services in three categories—light, medium, and heavy duty—with compensation structured on hourly rates for normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM) and overtime/emergency rates for all other times and weather emergencies, with no subcontracting permitted and requirement that bidders own all tow trucks registered to their company.
