This file is a letter of declination from Maryland Works' Employment Works Program to the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) District 2 regarding the SHA Eastern Shore Pest Prevention contract opportunity. The letter, dated November 25, 2025, informs Kyle O'Donnell, District Financial Officer, that Maryland Works will not be pursuing the contract at this time through the Employment Works Program. However, the letter indicates that Maryland Works may express interest in bidding on this contract in future procurement cycles.

The related contract opportunity seeks pest control services for three MDOT SHA buildings located in Queen Anne's County on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The contract requires a self-certified small business with no subcontracting permitted. Bidders must hold a Maryland Agriculture Pesticide Applicator Commercial License, and technicians working on SHA property must be registered with the Maryland Department of Agriculture and possess current certification cards. The scope includes monthly preventative maintenance and inspection services at all three locations combined, plus a flat fee for emergency treatment of infestations such as stinging insects in summer and rodents in winter. Pricing must include all costs with no additional charges for mileage, service calls, labor hours, or miscellaneous fees. MDOT SHA prefers payment by credit card after service completion without card fees; otherwise, invoices will be paid by check or ACH transfer within 15 days. A separate line item allows for fair and reasonable material costs at manufacturer's suggested retail price. Service hours are 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
