MD WORKS WAIVER 20260229 (no action needed).pdf

This is a waiver notification letter from Maryland Works, an Employment Works Program provider, to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Office of Maintenance Contract and Procurement Division regarding an MDOT Highway Services contract opportunity. The letter, dated February 12, 2025, informs MDOT that Maryland Works will not pursue completion of the referenced contract—which encompasses towing services in Talbot County on Maryland's Eastern Shore—through the Employment Works Program during the period from March 1, 2025, through February 29, 2026. The contract involves three categories of towing services (light, medium, and heavy duty) with hourly rate structures and no additional fees for mileage, show-up, or minimum charges.

The towing services contract utilizes only the six line items specified on MDOT's price form, with rates differentiated between normal operating hours (Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM) and overtime/emergency rates applicable outside these windows or during severe weather events. Contractors must own their tow trucks and have them registered to their company, with no subcontracting permitted. Maryland Works indicates its intention to review and potentially pursue this contract opportunity beginning March 1, 2026, when it becomes available for re-bidding.
