MD WORKS WAIVER 20260229 (no action needed).pdf

This is a waiver notification letter from Maryland Works (Employment Works Program) to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Office of Maintenance Contract and Procurement Division regarding an MDOT Highway Services contract opportunity in Maryland. The letter, dated February 12, 2025, informs the state that the Employment Works Program will not pursue completion of the referenced contract through a Community Service Provider for the period of March 1, 2025, through February 29, 2026. The contract involves towing services for the State Highway in Talbot County, with three service categories: light, medium, and heavy duty towing. Services are billed at hourly rates with no flat fees, show-up fees, minimums, mileage charges, or gasoline surcharges. The contract distinguishes between normal rates for Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM operations and overtime/emergency rates for all other times and weather emergencies.

This is a small business reserve procurement with no subcontracting allowed, requiring bidders to own and register their own tow trucks to their company. Maryland Works explicitly reserves the right to review and pursue this contract opportunity beginning March 1, 2026, when it becomes available again. The pricing structure consists of six line items on a price form representing the agreed hourly rates across the three duty categories and two rate tiers. No additional information regarding bid submission dates, award dates, or contract renewal options is provided in this waiver notification.
