Requesting Agency Remarks (cont’d):
Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist I is responsible for successfully completing sixteen-week
basic disability training program. They will learn to adjudicate initial Social Security Disability
claims that includes medical and vocational analysis. They will process the initial Disability
Insurance Benefit (DIB), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Childhood Disability
Benefits (CDB) claims following the federal regulations.
Administrative Specialist II positions provide support for the Vocational Specialist I, II and
Technical Specialists. They are responsible for scheduling consultative examinations with
medical providers and facilities across the state if the claimant does not have medical sources to
document the medical impairment. They make recommendations for travel, if the provider is
outside of their geographic location, and they also initiate the need to schedule interpreters, when
appropriate. They handle all rescheduling and cancellations by communicating directly with the
medical providers and facilities performing the examinations. They provide support to agency
procurement and case control staff.
Administrative Specialist I functions as support to the Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist I, II
and Technical Specialists. They perform a wide variety of tasks to support scanning in
documents into the electronic claim, validations, and handle Congressional and State inquires.
Other functions include working with prioritizing case distribution from the backlog.
Fiscal Accounts Clerk II is responsible for the payment of medical invoices and assists with the
maintenance of the agency vendor file to ensure the provider’s billing address is accurate.
The Maryland Disability Determination Services (DDS) has a current backlog of Maryland
citizens waiting for their claim to be assigned and processed. Among the staff members responsible
for processing the claims, 70% have less than two years’ experience processing the Social Security
Disability claims, compounded with the loss of experienced staff to other state and federal
agencies. Due to the lack of experience in the adjudicator positions and inexperience in the
supervisory and medical reviewers, the mean processing time has increased to over 320 days to
complete a case. The requested positions will support the 45% to 50% increase in production
expected through case assignment in the case control area: scheduling consultative examinations
and the timely payments of invoices. The selection of the specified class codes gives us the
flexibility to adjust job duties as we progress through this process. We sincerely appreciate the
support and submission of this request for approval.
DBM Remarks: The Secretary of the Department of Budget and Management has certified that
funds are available for the new positions for which approval is requested.

Background: On July 1, 2017, the Division of Library Development and Services (DLDS) at the
Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) became the Maryland State Library Agency
(MSLA) under the direction of the Maryland State Library Board as a result of changes to the
Maryland Code made during the 2017 General Assembly session (Senate Bill 587/House Bill
1094).
MSLA’s County Library Capital Project Grant Program makes capital grants to county public
library systems to support projects that address the State’s library needs. The grants must be
matched according to a wealth-based cost sharing formula (implemented June 1, 2013) and must
be at least $20,000. During the 2021 General Session, the annual funding mandate for the
program was increased from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000.

treatment at Cambridge WWTP, an ENR-level treatment plant. This community is currently
serviced by a failing Bermed Infiltration Pond (BIP), McKeil Point 21 (Shared Facility #21-1).
Because the project is located outside of a Priority Funding Area, on May 30, 2019, the

BIP and septic tanks; installation of grinder pumps, controls, and appurtenances; construction of
the force main and connection to Deepwater Point Pump Station and other related work to
convey the additional flow to Cambridge WWTP.
Completion of this project will address the public health hazard from the failing septic system

Remarks: At the culmination of the construction modifications to the existing Cogeneration Plant,
which included modification to the internal boiler configuration and boiler room, the Contractor
began start-up testing of newly installed burners. They found that the Induced Draft (ID) fans, one
per boiler, created air flow and draft conditions (pressure) inside the modified boiler that could not
be controlled to allow reliable and repeatable light-off conditions. Following troubleshooting and
testing, the Contractor and MES’ engineering consultant determined that the ID fan must be
replaced to finish the start-up testing and advance to full commissioning of the burner. The purpose
of this change order is to purchase those replacement ID fans.

Remarks: Cowdensville A.M.E. Church is a modest wood-frame church with a gabled roof,
designed in a vernacular style, and constructed between 1904 and 1907. Cowdensville AME’s
roots go back to 1857 within the free Black community in southwestern Baltimore County. The
church has served its community from its founding, not only as a place of worship but as a
meeting place for civil rights groups in the mid-20th century. For many years the church hosted
grief support groups, food and school supply giveaways, and neighborhood organization
meetings. A complete rehabilitation was undertaken in the late 1990s to save the church from
condemnation and demolition. Cowdensville AME requested funds for exterior work to drainage
improvements, roof repair or replacement; and foundation repair.

The Public Service Commission (PSC) requires two PINs to implement Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) of
2024. The legislation reforms the retail energy supply market. Several portions of the bill increase
the workload for the PSC, including new licenses for energy salespersons and energy vendors,
relicensing existing suppliers every three years, new requirements for setting and reviewing green
power prices, and enforcement of additional customer protections and penalties that can be
imposed on suppliers. SB 1 requires that these additional PINs be created to implement the bill,
and funding is available since the legislation also increases the existing assessment cap for the PSC
and creates a new special assessment to help fund the new positions.
The positions above support the implementation of SB 1 by the PSC’s Consumer Affairs Division.

experienced a severe heating failure affecting multiple units across the hospital. Diagnosis of the
needed repairs was beyond MDH’s capabilities. CTPHC is the State’s only maximum security
forensic psychiatric hospital which has a capacity of 289 patients and currently maintains a waitlist.
The MDH Healthcare System adult psychiatric facilities operate 1,056 beds at or near full capacity
- patients from CTPHC can only be transferred to other MDH facilities subject to availability of
beds and clinical stability of patients of medium/minimum security environments. Hospital
licensure and accreditation standards require that patient care units and medication storage be at
appropriate ambient temperatures.

Remarks (cont’d):
Due to the nature of the patient population, and to mitigate serious damage to the health, safety,
and welfare of the patients within the care of CTPHC, MDH could not wait the requisite 48 hours
for DGS Chief Procurement Officer approval and moved forward on December 1, 2023, with the
retention of a vendor to diagnose the situation and to recommend a temporary solution.
Basis for Selection: Single responsive bid from a responsible bidder. MDH selected a vendor that
has experience with working with the State, including MDH facilities. Due to the urgent nature
and the need to restore heat to the facility as soon as possible, MDH awarded this contract to the
first responsive vendor. The selected vendor is also a certified MBE.
Emergency Modification 1 (from Emergency Report Sec. Appendix A1, 1/17/2024 BPW): In order
to ensure redundancy and continued operation of the system until a full system replacement can
be effectuated, MDH is leasing a temporary boiler to be installed. Additionally, due to the limited
capacity in the MDH Healthcare System, the expedited installation of the boiler is required to
ensure that MDH patients receive the care required.
Emergency Modification 2 (from Emergency Report Sec. Appendix A1, 1/31/2024 BPW): The
CTPHC boiler system creates low pressure steam which is used to generate heating hot water and
domestic hot water, distributed throughout the main hospital. In addition, the steam is used directly
in the hospital and air handling units to heat the main hospital and wings. Additional repairs are
necessary to stabilize the water system and ensure proper system operation for support of the
facility.
Modification 3 (MDH Delegated Authority): The CTPHC maintains a boiler and chiller system
which in conjunction function to support a “hot deck/cold deck” system, meaning that the air flow
is split into two parts, one being heated and one being cooled to provide the correct mix for proper
heating and cooling throughout the facility. Both systems are required to maintain temperature
balance. The boiler and chiller system also support the temperatures for hot and cold domestic
water. Regulating air and water temperatures during peak seasons are particularly difficult to
manage with only one side of the heating or cooling system functioning properly.
When CTPHC began preparations to bring the three chillers online it was determined that the
chillers were non-functional. It was further determined that a full assessment of the chiller system
would be required to determine the work needed to bring the chillers online. It became increasingly
difficult to manage the hot and cold systems for both domestic water and heating and cooling air
during a period of erratic outside temperatures. This modification was done within MDH’s
delegated authority to complete the heating and cooling assessment.

Emergency Modification 4 (this Item): The assessment revealed that the chillers needed critical
repairs. The lead times on parts for the critical repairs were extensive and did not meet the
immediate need. Therefore, temporary chillers were required with an impending 10-day weather
forecast starting April 27, 2024 and the need to maintain required domestic water temperatures.
Outside temperatures were predicted to be 80-90°F and due to the nature of the facility and security
concerns, installing smaller cooling equipment on the units was not feasible. Additionally, utilizing
smaller cooling equipment did not address the need to control the domestic water temperatures.
This modification captures the rental and installation of two temporary chillers and associated
equipment to support the facility.
Emergency Modification 5 (this Item): A third chiller at CTPHC, which supports the
Rehabilitation Unit, was also assessed and it was determined that the equipment is in need of
critical repairs. An additional temporary chiller is required until the repairs can be completed. Due
to the lead time on parts, the temporary chiller was required due to the 10-day weather forecast.
Additionally, the lease of the two chillers procured during the April 26, 2024 modification and fuel
costs for associated equipment is being extended through September 2024 to ensure sufficient time
to make the necessary repairs to all three non-functioning chillers.

A2. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONAL SERVICES
(cont’d)
Remarks: Nature of Emergency: On April 24, 2024, the Patuxent Institution (PATX) had
planned to shut the water main off for 12 hours starting at 2:00am to replace valves as a part of a
Department of General Services (DGS) maintenance project. Howard County Department of
Public Works (Howard County) was contacted to shut off the water main for contractual work to
be completed, but when Howard County returned to reopen the water main, a valve would not
fully open and the required water pressure could not be restored. Howard County made plans to
replace the valve the next day on April 25, 2024 around 2:30pm.
Approximately thirty hours after the initial water shut off, water service was restored to PATX.
A large volume of water was utilized by incarcerated individuals and employees when service
was restored, resulting in the generation of a large volume of wastewater that was too large for
the existing sanitary sewer lines to handle. This process damaged the sanitary ejector pumps, and
caused a backup of wastewater to occur in the basement of the facility. In order to avoid a large-
scale health and safety hazard, contractors were immediately contacted to remove the wastewater
backup and repair the damaged pumps.
Basis for Selection: In an effort to secure competitive pricing, calls for quotes were made to two
vendors that were known to respond timely, were familiar with the facilities and their associated
security protocols, and had performed similar work for the Department successfully in the past.
JPG Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc. (JPG) was selected for their ability to perform satisfactorily
on past projects. The second firm contacted was unable to respond in a timely manner. This work
is time sensitive, and without the repairs, wastewater would continue to overflow and backup into
other facility areas and a health and safety hazard would continue to exist.
Resident Business: Yes

Lawson Property, Dorchester County
Recommendation: Approval to grant $717,042.29 to the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy from
Program Open Space Stateside Funds to acquire a 155.45-acre Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program easement.
Background/Prior Approvals: Reference is made to Program Open Space Agenda Item 14A
(January 3, 2024) in which the Board of Public Works approved the Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program (CREP) easement acquisition program and authorized the use of Program
Open Space funds to be used for acquiring permanent conservation easements on stream side
forests, natural areas and wetlands.
Project Description: Acquisition of this CREP easement permanently protects water quality by
retaining forested and vegetative buffers along the Chicamacomico River in the Transquaking
River watershed. As part of the transaction, the landowner will be donating 6.24 acres of the
property into the easement for 161.69 acres of total protection. The easement, CREP No. 35034
and POS No. 35035, will be held by the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy and the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources.
Easement Value: $671,174.00 ($4,317.90 per acre)
Purchase Price: $671,174.00 ($4,317.90 per acre)
Total Other Costs Administrative: $20,135.22
Incidentals: $15,665.46
Compliance: $10,067.61
$45,868.29
Total Amount Requested: $717,042.29
Easement Valuation System: DNR uses an easement evaluation system based on:
(1) the amount of the property covered by the easement and extinguishment of
development rights;
(2) the width of the buffers; and
(3) the amount of land in the CREP contract that will be covered by the easement.

Cecil County (Grove Neck Girl Scouts)
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works approve:
1) The Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, acting on behalf of DNR, acquiring the
property from the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council, Inc.;
2) The Eastern Shore Land Conservancy conveying the property to DNR;
3) The reimbursement of incidental costs expended by The Eastern Shore Land
Conservancy; and
4) DNR incorporating a Notice of Federal Participation in a deed so that the value
of the property can be used as match for a federal grant for land management.
Description: This mostly forested property is located at the confluence of the Sassafras River and
Chesapeake Bay and will be managed by Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service as an addition
to Grove Farm Wildlife Management Area. Acquisition will conserve Forest Interior Dwelling
Species habitat, protect water quality, and expand public recreational opportunities for fishing,
hiking, birding, and hunting. Areas along the shoreline where natural habitats occur, such as
marshes and coastal forests, have the potential to reduce the impact of coastal hazards (flooding
and erosion) to adjacent coastal communities by dampening waves, stabilizing sediment, and
absorbing water. Natural features can also adapt to changing conditions within dynamic coastal
environments, and thus can provide climate change resiliency benefits over the long term.
POS Scoring System: 85 out of 100 Targeted Ecological Area: No
Background: The Board of Public Works approved DNR to acquire a conservation easement co-
held by the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy on 170.945 acres of the Girl Scouts of the
Chesapeake Bay Council, Inc. property as DNR RP Item 3A (February 19, 2014).
Legislative Notification: Budget Committee notification has been completed as required by
Natural Resources Article, §1-104(k), Annotated Code of Maryland.
Grantor: The Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, Inc.
Grantee: The State of Maryland to the use of the Department of Natural Resources
Property: 243.70+/- acres, improved, POS No. 13647

Legal fees $ 10,000
Notice of Federal Participation: This acquisition may be utilized as match for the Wildlife and
Heritage Service’s wildlife management grant application through the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service, allowing the Department to leverage significant federal funds for management
of the State’s wildlife management area systems. The property will remain under State ownership
subject to conditions that require the property to remain in the wildlife management area system,
continue to provide habitat for wildlife, and remain open to the public for hunting and other
wildlife-oriented recreation, or provide mitigation to replace the value of the area; the conditions
are consistent with the Department’s wildlife management area system. The federal interest will
be identified in a deed with a Notice of Federal Participation that outlines the terms and conditions
of the grant. Clearinghouse has concluded that this does not require Clearinghouse review. See
State Finance and Procurement, §10-305, which provides for “Disposal of real or personal property
of the State; conditions, consideration” and Natural Resources Article §5-904(e), which provides
for “Plans for disposition of real property”.
Stabilization funds: $310,000
Stabilization funds are authorized to stabilize the structural integrity of improvements existing on
land at the time of acquisition, eliminate health and safety hazards, protect water quality, and
provide public access. DNR intends to use a portion of the funds to dispose, by razing, certain
current structures that would not be a part of the management plan for Maryland Wildlife and
Heritage Service. See Natural Resources Article §5-903(f) and §5-904(e).

95079-MG
Recommendation: Award of Sole Bid Package
Contractor: Bancroft Construction, Salisbury, MD
Prior Approval: USM Item 5-C (7/1/2020) (Preconstruction and Design Services)
Project Description: The proposed project is for the Agricultural Research & Education
Center, a teaching, research and agricultural extension facility totaling approximately
16,200 NASF and 23,100 GSF including: specialized research laboratories (Soil & Water
Quality, Microbiology/Plant Pathology, Genomics/Molecular Biology, and Animal Science),
and meeting rooms, as well as researcher, extension agent and staff offices and support
spaces.
The project also encompasses three (3) Research Greenhouses, including a head
house, which represent 6,000 NASF and 7,500 GSF of the total project., including: walk-in
growth chambers, soil handling and plant preparation areas, washing stations and walk-in
cold rooms for storing water, soil, and plant samples and seeds.
The University anticipates the final value of this contract will be approximately $25 million.

MBE Participation Goal: Overall: 15%; Subgoal: 7%-African American
MBE Compliance: Overall: 4.34%; Subgoal: 0%-African American
Note: Approximately 3% of the estimated overall value of the project has been approved for
payment to date. The overall goal and subgoal will be met as construction starts and progresses.
Performance Security: Equal to contract amount
Requesting Institution Remarks: This contract was initially awarded for preconstruction and
design services (USM Item 5-C approved on 7/1/2020). As design has progressed and design
information and construction funding became available, the contractor competitively bid the
construction package. This is the sole bid package for this project.
The contract duration has increased significantly since the original approval because the project
was placed on hold for an extended period during design until the University was able to secure
additional funding needed to build the programmed scope. The project restarted after funding
from the Maryland General Assembly was appropriated. Similarly, the anticipated final value of
the contract has increased to reflect actual costs and the addition of sustainability features,
including solar panels.
Sustainability: This project will comply with the Maryland High Performance Green Building
Program, and it is designed to achieve LEED Silver Rating. The design features low water using
plumbing fixtures and native planting that do not require irrigation, use with energy efficient
mechanical equipment and selection of low environmental building materials with low initial
odor emissions. The design also features a photovoltaic array to be installed over a surface
parking lot to offset some of the electrical demand of the building. The design-builder will
perform the work utilizing sustainable design and construction principles as specified. The major
building systems will be commissioned by an independent agent to ensure proper installation and
use of the systems.

Requesting Institution Remarks: The current fundraising system presently caters to all seven
schools and the central Philanthropy Office at UMB. It contains a vast repository of data on over
200,000 entities, encompassing biographical information, giving history, and prospect tracking.
The system is accessed by 125 active users across the University. The servers supporting the
system are in the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL) Data Center and
maintained by CITS (Center for Information Technology Services) staff. The servers are
safeguarded by an alarm, cypher locks, key cards, and a fire suppression system.
In 1997, UMB joined the University System of Maryland Foundation (USMF) consortium,
which installed the current fundraising system. However, in 2000, UMB decided to implement
its own version of the system due to conflicts with processes and functionality arising from a
shared USM (University System of Maryland) system. In 2010, UMB upgraded the system to
enhance functionality and user experience. Subsequently, in 2014, the Philanthropy Office
incorporated the Medical Alumni Association (MAA) entities into the system, thereby improving
the accuracy of alumni/ae information and promoting coordinated fundraising efforts between
the Medical School and the MAA.

5-S. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (cont’d)
Requesting Institution Remarks (cont’d): Between October 2022 and February 2023, UMB
participated in a USM-led engagement to conduct a needs assessment aimed at defining UMB's
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) capabilities and future needs, as well as performing
a market analysis of CRM vendor options. The current application's features, functionality, and
technology have become outdated. With the next campaign set to be even more ambitious, UMB
fundraisers will need a more modern system to help meet their fundraising goals.
The following are the key objectives for upgrading to a new cloud-based CRM system:
• Enhancing fundraising efforts: The new system will provide university staff with better
insights into donor behavior, preferences, and giving history, which can help them tailor their
outreach and fundraising efforts to be more effective.
• Improving donor engagement: The new system will enable UMB to communicate with donors
more effectively, through targeted messages and personalized experiences that can deepen
relationships and increase donor loyalty.
• Increasing efficiency and productivity: The new system will provide staff with better tools
and workflows, enabling them to work more efficiently and productively, and to collaborate
more effectively across departments.
• Ensuring data accuracy and integrity: The new system will provide greater data accuracy and
integrity, reducing errors and inconsistencies in donor records and ensuring that university
staff have access to accurate and up-to-date information.
• Enhancing security and compliance: The new system will provide stronger security and
compliance features, helping universities protect donor data and meet regulatory
requirements.
• Supporting collaboration with MAA and UMMC: The new system will provide better
integration with the fundraising operations of Medicine Alumni Association and the
University of Maryland Medical Center, by combining fundraising totals for the next
campaign and allowing Central Philanthropy to coordinate shared services like Planned
Giving, Prospect Research and Prospect Management, Corporate and Foundation Relations,
and Annual and Leadership Giving.
• UMB users require that the SaaS CRM system be launched with all the in-scope sub-modules
configured and ready for use at the time of launch.
• The Implementation Partner can work in a Remote Setting and provide Post-Go Live Support
at a minimum of six months from the date of launch.
The solicitation was advertised in eMarylandMarketPlace Advantage (eMMA) and directly
solicited to two vendors. Four proposals were received in response to the solicitation, and two
(2) Offerors failed to achieve the minimum acceptable score and were deemed not susceptible for
contract award. The proposals were evaluated by a University evaluation committee and
determined that the proposal submitted by Blackbaud, Inc. best met the needs of the University.
The software provider, Blackbaud, Inc. will also provide the implementation services.

5-S. UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE (cont’d)
Requesting Institution Remarks (cont’d):
Although Blackbaud’s pricing is notably higher than Ellucian, Blackbaud was deemed the most
advantageous to the University for various reasons, most notably because their system is fully
compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), whereas
Ellucian’s system is not HIPAA compliant. UMB’s plans for modernizing and improving the
Philanthropy system include partnering with the University of Maryland Medical System and
sharing data, some of which would contain Protected Health Information. Awarding a contract to
Ellucian whose system is not HIPAA compliant would put the University at significant risk of
compromising Protected Health Information which would violate Federal HIPAA law, erode the
trust of the philanthropic community, and have a detrimental effect on the mission of the
University. Non-compliance with HIPAA standards could also result in fines, legal actions, and
potential suspension of operations.
There is no MBE goal on this contract as no subcontracting opportunities were identified.

February 7, 2024. Triangle Contracting, LLC. has confirmed its pricing.
This contract will allow MAA to meet the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Maryland

BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. MAA is required to monitor the mitigation site and demonstrate
that MAA has the capability to provide maintenance and repairs to the stream restoration
mitigation site.
The contract award amount is based on the final budget amount. The Contractor does not have a
guaranteed minimum or maximum amount, except for the overall budget limitation. The
representative bid pricing is based on fixed unit pricing for all equipment, material and labor rates
that may be needed throughout the duration of the contract. The contractor is bound by the unit
pricing submitted with the bid.
The MAA Procurement Review Group reviewed the contract scope of work to determine the
potential for establishing a MBE and VSBE goals, as well as Small Business Enterprise
designation. No MBE or VSBE participation goals were established due to the specialized work.
However, this solicitation was initially advertised as a designated Small Business Reserve (SBR)
procurement, but the designation was removed due to a lack of interest by small businesses.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The solicitation was previously advertised as MAA-MC-25-013,
Portable Toilet Rental and Cleaning Services at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport on December 8,
2023, with six (6) bids received by January 22, 2024. Prior to opening the bids, the Procurement
Officer discovered a discrepancy in the solicitation documents and attempted to amend the
solicitation to extend the bid due date in order to correct the error. However, the Procurement
Officer could not post the Addendum on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage prior to the bid
closing. The Procurement Officer determined that cancelling the procurement was fiscally
advantageous or otherwise in the State’s best interest. The amendments to the specifications were
of such magnitude that a new solicitation was desirable. Therefore, in accordance with COMAR
21.06.02.02 B. Cancellation Before Opening, the procurement was cancelled.
The amended solicitation was re-advertised as MAA-MC-25-014, Portable Toilet Rental and
Cleaning Services at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport on March 4, 2024, as a Small Business
Reserve Procurement via eMaryland Marketplace Advantage, notifying 165 contractors, the
Maryland Aviation Administration’s website, and by way of direct solicitation to thirteen (13)
prospective bidders. Nine (9) bids were received on April 3, 2024.
The MAA Procurement Review Group reviewed the contract scope of work to determine the
potential for establishing MBE and/or VSBE goals, as well as Small Business designation. The
procurement was designated Small Business Reserve; however, no MBE / VSBE participation
goals were established due to the limited subcontracting opportunities.
This contract includes a provision authorizing an extension for a reasonable, limited, and defined
period of time to spend funds remaining on the contract as provided in Board Advisory 1995-1.

Requesting Agency Remarks: This Request for Proposals, intended to result in the award of
multiple contracts, was advertised on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage, which notified
approximately 2,367 vendors. MPA also shared the solicitation with the Maryland Minority
Contractors Association, the Md. Washington Minority Companies Association, and directly
solicited 240 companies.
In an effort to significantly expand the State of Maryland’s dredged material reuse efforts and
long-term containment facility capacity, MPA solicited sealed proposals for applied research and
development projects to explore feasible means for reuse of material dredged from Baltimore
Harbor channels. The Request for Proposals defines “reuse” as the recycling of dredged material
for use in another product or application, including residential, recreational, commercial, and
industrial uses. Contracts issued under this procurement will support MPA’s research and
development of dredged material applications to further the State’s efforts to recover capacity
and/or extend the lifespan of the Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility (DMCF).
Successful results of this research and development effort could lead to MPA developing a
separate, longer-term contract (or contracts) for the reuse of significant volumes of dredged
material. These efforts will give MPA an opportunity to understand better the potential for large-
scale, long-term cost-effective capacity recovery in the DMCF. As a result of contracts resulting
from this Request for Proposals, MPA will be evaluating lessons learned, adaptive management
approaches, and scalability with an eye on future opportunities to recover capacity in DMCFs.
The Request for Proposals provided that there would be no fixed deadline for submission of
proposals until MPA established a deadline by published amendment to the solicitation. Instead,
proposals would be considered for award as they were submitted, even while other proposals were
under consideration or had resulted in contract awards, until MPA closed the solicitation to the
submission of new proposals. On October 11, 2023, MPA closed the solicitation by published
amendment, The proposal that is the subject of this agenda item was submitted prior to the closure
date.
Northgate Environmental Management, Inc. submitted a proposal to demonstrate the feasibility of
using dredged material from Baltimore Harbor as supplementary cementitious material (pozzolan)
and cement clinker, a component of Portland cement. The contractor will procure a small quantity
of dewatered dredged material generated from Cox Creek DMCF and will determine if the material
can be used as a natural pozzolan and in the production of cement clinker for Portland cement. If
the project is successful, the result could be a separate, long-term contract with MPA under which
dewatered dredged material from Cox Creek DMCF could be used in the development of a
production facility to support construction projects and products, expanding the commercial value
of dredged sediments, and cost-effectively recovering valuable capacity in the DMCF. This award
was approved by the Maryland Port Commission on May 7, 2024.

VSBE goal has been established for these contracts due to the limited Subcontracting
opportunities.
This contract includes a provision authorizing an extension for a total period, no longer than one-
third of the base term, to spend funds remaining on the contracts as provided in Board Advisory

Requesting Agency Remarks (cont’d):
This project is to support State Highway Administration’s mowing program to promote safety for
the traveling public by controlling undesirable brush and noxious weeds; and maintaining adequate
sight distances.
The State Highway Administration has confirmed A. Marquez Trucking, Inc.’s bid price and the
work conducted on this contract is performed 100% by a Certified Minority Business Enterprise
and State-certified Small Business.
Per BPW Advisory 2001-1, the SHA Procurement Review Group reviewed the contract scope of
work to determine the potential for establishing MBE and VSBE participation goal as well as a
Small Business Reserve designation. A 0% MBE goal was set for this project based on the minimal
number of MBE firms available in Allegany, Frederick, Garrett, and Washington counties within
the work area certified with the NAICS code to perform the work. No VSBE participation goal
was set due to a lack of certified firms to perform these services.

Requesting Agency Remarks: This contract provides for multiple vendors to operate the M TA’s
ADA paratransit transportation service delivery by providing drivers, management, and fleet
maintenance. The MTA’s paratransit service operates seven days per week, 24 hours per day, and
generally serves the same geographic area served by the MTA’s fixed-route system as required by
the ADA. The service includes all areas of Baltimore City, parts of Baltimore and Anne Arundel
Counties located inside the Baltimore Beltway (I-695), and all other areas of Baltimore and Anne
Arundel Counties located within a three-quarter-mile radius of the MTA’s fixed-route services.
Certified paratransit users may request service by 5:00 P.M. on the day prior to the need for service
and may schedule services up to seven days in advance. On an average weekday, the MTA
schedules approximately 4,200 trips, and the MTA monitors the on-time performance level of the
contractors.
Competing industries and competing transit systems such as WMATA have increased wages in an
effort to attract new employees and in particular operators. Due to these outside forces, the vendors
on this contract have struggled to hire and retain operators. In the fourth quarter of 2023, each
vendor reported that operator vacancies were increasing. MTA’s mobility passengers depend on
MTA’s Mobility Link to provide reliable and safe transportation. Due to these staffing vacancies,
passengers are being left to wait for extended periods of time for their rides, and as a result, missing
critical medical appointments or arriving late to work.
This amendment adjusts the operators’ starting minimum wage rate and establishes a minimum
wage rate for operators with at least one year of service.
Each contract has an MBE participation goal, and each vendor is currently in compliance and
exceeding their participation goal.
In addition, each contract has a VSBE participation goal, and each vendor is currently not
compliant. The MTA is committed to working with each vendor to ensure that the VSBE goal is
met on this contract. Each vendor has provided the MTA with a corrective action plan that explains
how the vendor will become compliant with the established VSBE participation goal before the
contract term expires.

13-RP. THE SECRETARY’S OFFICE
Real Property – Amendment
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works (BPW) approve the Maryland Transit
Administration (MTA) amending a Master Development Agreement and a Master Ground Lease
Agreement.
Authority: State Finance & Procurement Article, § 10-305
Annotated Code of Maryland
Property: MC# 18-8018
Owings Mills TOD (± 46 acres), located at 5018 Painters Mills
Boulevard and 10309 Grand Central Avenue, Owings Mills,
Baltimore County
Grantor: State of Maryland, MTA
Grantee: Owings Mills Transit, LLC (OM Transit)
Consideration: N/A
Appraised Value: N/A
State Clearinghouse: N/A
Requesting Agency Remarks: In 2002, BPW approved a Master Ground Lease (MGL) between
MTA and OM Transit for ± 46 acres at the Owings Mills Metro Station for a Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) project. The Master Development Agreement (MDA) was previously
amended under BPW Item 17-RP (3/19/2014).
The Secretary’s Office (TSO), on behalf of MTA, proposes certain revisions to the MDA and the
MGL. If these amendments are approved by BPW, they will permit phase ground lease tenants to
sublease or assign all or part of the phase ground leased premises without additional approvals by
BPW provided that the proposed sublessee or assignee meets certain criteria set forth in the
amended Form of Phase Ground Lease, which is an exhibit to the MGL. These changes would allow
a phase ground lease tenant to sublease or assign all or part of its interest in its phase ground lease in the
Owings Mills project to entities that meet criteria established in these amendments.
Similarly, and without
additional approval by BPW, the amendments provide for transfers by permitted leasehold
mortgages if the transfers meet certain criteria. The changes would also allow certain transfers by
a leasehold mortgagee or in lieu of a foreclosure sale to transferees that meet criteria included in
the amendments.

Incumbents: Same
Requesting Agency Remarks: A notice of the availability of the Request for Proposals (RFP) was
advertised on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage and the DHS website on September 19, 2023
and thirty-one potential offerors were directly solicited. Two proposals were received in response
to the RFP and both were deemed reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. Conduent
State & Local Solutions, Inc. determined to be most advantageous to the State as its proposal was
both ranked highest technically and was lowest in price.
The contractor will deliver, operate, and maintain applicable enhancements and modifications to
the statewide EBT system for the delivery of Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA), Temporary
Disability Assistance Program (TDAP) and SNAP benefits through, Point-of-Sale (POS) devices,
online purchasing, and (for cash only) ATMs in accordance with applicable Federal and State laws
and regulations and Quest® Operating Rules. They will implement a fully tested and functioning
EBT system and improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of services provided to the
public, ensure customer satisfaction, and reduce the risk of fraud in EBT transactions.
The Family Investment Administration (FIA) is the largest service program within DHS,
accounting for 67% of the Department’s $4.1 billion budget and serves an average of 943,000
Marylanders annually. The FIA team administers federal economic assistance programs that
ensure seniors don’t have to choose between buying medicine they need and paying their rent. We
help struggling families put food on the table. We help keep children in their homes. We foster
meaningful connections to workforce development and career opportunities, so Maryland does not
continue to leave potential on the table. And we serve to unlock opportunities for Marylanders,
particularly in communities that have been underestimated and underserved.
Maryland’s method for serving 943,000 Marylanders is the Electronic Benefit Transfer System
(EBT). Through the EBT system, over 382,000 households access Supplemental Nutrition Access
Program (SNAP) benefits and over 32,000 households access cash benefits. The EBT card is
called the Independence Card. It is a debit-type card that can access SNAP and/or cash benefits
that are deposited into an EBT food or EBT cash account of a DHS customer each month. Once
benefits are deposited into an EBT account and the availability date is reached, the customer can
begin using them with their Independence Card. The Independence Card can be used at any retailer
authorized by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) or Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in the United States, Guam and the Virgin Islands
displaying the Quest® logo. The cardholder must use a four-digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN) with the Independence Card to authenticate each transaction.

24-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
A protest was received on April 17, 2024, alleging the evaluation is arbitrary, capricious, and
unlawful, and failed to adhere to the selection process and criteria set forth in the RFP. DHS
responded to the protest with a denial letter on April 29, 2024, because the evaluation of the
proposal was conducted in accordance with the RFP and COMAR 21.05.03. Additionally, there
were no latent defects in the RFP and no facts or other information to substantiate the reasons for
the alleged defect. An appeal was filed on April 30, 2024 to the Maryland State Board of Contract
Appeals. As of May 3, 2024, a hearing date by the Board of Contract Appeals has not been
scheduled.
DHS is requesting that the BPW approve the contract award notwithstanding appeals in order to
protect substantial State interests. The overriding substantial State interest is the protection of
Marylanders from benefits theft and saving State funds that are being used to replace those benefits
when they are stolen.
Maryland will pay more for both the extension of the current system contract until a new system
is successfully awarded with customer benefit safeguards, and pay more in state funds for the
replacement of stolen benefits because the current contract lacks the new enhanced security
requirements to help protect our customers.
1. The new contract moves the State to next generation Eurocard, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV)
“chip” technology and other security enhancements that will reduce the theft of benefits, ensuring
that our customers actually receive their benefits;
2. There is no procurement remedy available to the appealing vendor, Fidelity Information
Systems (FIS), through the Board of Contract Appeal that would allow for an automatic
award to FIS. The only solution would be for a new solicitation and request for proposals
which will cause needless delay in implementing benefit protections; and
3. Will reduce the amount of time and money that the State must continue to pay to maintain
the existing contract with less security requirements.
Theft of public assistance benefits is a national problem. In Maryland, Governor Moore and the
General Assembly took decisive action in the 2023 session through the passage of Senate Bill 2
(SB 2) when the previous administration's strategy was to do nothing.

24-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
SB 2, which took effect as an emergency measure, required certain security enhancements to
Maryland’s EBT system:
1. The inclusion of an embedded microchip in all EBT cards issued on or after October 1,
2023;
2. The use of two–way fraud alerts;
3. Connectivity for universal benefits cards;
4. Provide at initial benefit approval and each redetermination of eligibility, written notice of
fraud risk and instructions on how to reduce the risk of theft, including updating Personal
Identification Numbers regularly and avoiding the use of common Personal Identification
Numbers;
5. Enabling Electronic Benefits Transfer cardholders to place certain limits on the use of their
cards, including limiting transactions during certain hours or prohibiting out–of–state
transactions; and
6. Monitoring transactions for suspicious activity by leveraging user behavior analytics of
Electronic Benefits Transfer user data to detect when data is being inappropriately
accessed or is compromised.
These requirements were included in DHS’ September 2023 request for proposals. Specifically,
with the microchip/EMV requirement, the RFP included in Section 2.5.1.2 “the EBT processor
shall include a proposed implementation solution incorporating circuit chip/EMV technology or
other similar technology, as applicable.”
The current EBT system does not contain these requirements, and although in 2023, DHS partially
implemented the following security enhancements, benefits theft has continued:
1. PINs;
2. IVR Fraud Analysis and Activity alerts; and
3. Card Lock and Unlock.
To date, over 40,000 Maryland households have been reimbursed over $24 million in stolen
benefits. If we choose to do nothing or delay, this amount will only continue to increase in 2024-
25. Further, the impact on the State budget will increase as federal funding for stolen benefit
replacement ends on September 30, 2024 with little likelihood, based on the current federal

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
political environment, that additional funds will be appropriated in a future federal budget. In spite
of the likely elimination of federal funding, Governor Moore proposed, and the General Assembly
accepted, albeit in a reduced amount, continued state general funding for FY2025 to replace stolen
benefits. With the increased security benefits in this proposed new award, we fully expect to
substantially decrease stolen benefits so that Marylanders can safely receive the benefits for which
they are eligible without fear of ongoing theft. This will decrease customer frustration, duplication
of government work, and reduce the amount of state general funds needed to replace stolen
benefits.
By moving forward now, DHS can begin to focus our resources on building the services and
protections noted above, eliminating continued expense for a system that does not proactively
respond to Marylanders and reducing the cost of replacing benefits stolen by thieves, all at a direct
cost to the general fund of the State of Maryland. Further, our federal funding partners have
indicated that moving forward with the protections afforded by the new system is preferred.
The other options available to us will only cause unnecessary delay that directly impacts the lives
of Marylanders. Specifically, should FIS prevail at the Board of Contract Appeals, DHS would
have to cancel the recommendation of award and re-solicit. Should the new solicitation and award
be approved, any new selected vendor would need 6-12 months to implement their new system.
Marylanders would be faced with a minimum of 9 months of delay if the Board of Contract
Appeals upholds DHS’ denial of the bid protest, the Board then approves the new contract, and
there is a six month period to implement the new system, or up to 24 months if DHS has to solicit,
award, and transition to a new vendor’s system. Additional delay in implementing the next
generation EBT system only harms 943,000 Marylanders as it will require DHS to further extend
the current EBT system contract resulting in the State paying more for a system that fails to provide
the services that they deserve.

26-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Requesting Agency Remarks: A notice of the availability of the Request for Proposals (RFP) was
advertised on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) on October 16, 2023. A total of 14
potential vendors were directly solicited. Seven proposals were received and four were determined
to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. Three were deemed not reasonably
susceptible of being selected for award because staff showed a lack of understanding of how data
is used in HSCRC methodologies, limited experience with Maryland clinical abstraction, and
coding classification. Also no experience in Maryland hospitals, failed to show sufficient
experience and capabilities in the solicitation requirements, and not enough details in their
approach to implementing the proposed plan. The recommended offeror Advanta Government
Services LLC was determined to be most advantageous to the State as its proposal was both ranked
highest technically and was lowest in price.
Advanta Government Services LLC’s proposal included a deep understanding of how data is used
in the HSCRC methodologies. They are well-versed in the data that is collected, and which
variables should be the focus of audits. Their overall detail and understanding demonstrated
innovation and methodology that was well explained, in detail, executive summary, work
requirements, sample inpatient/outpatient review criteria, and review methodology, and they have
strong experience with State of Maryland contracts.
In evaluating the offeror’s proposal related to the economic benefit to the State, consideration was
given to awarding this contract to the firm that will have the most direct and indirect benefits to
the State of Maryland’s economy. The awardee and all its subcontractors provide direct and
indirect services on this contract are located in Maryland.

establishment of state programs built to a common set of national standards gives each state the
ability to quickly identify and assist in the coordination of volunteer health professionals in an
emergency.

Vienna, VA
Requesting Agency Remarks: A notice of the availability of the Request for Proposals (RFP) was
advertised on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) on October 23, 2023 notifying 1,212
vendors of the solicitation. The solicitation was also sent directly to seven prospective vendors.
Three proposals were received on December 18, 2023 and two were determined to be reasonably
susceptible of being selected for award. Centurion of Maryland, LLC was determined to be most
advantageous to the State as its proposal was both ranked highest technically and highest overall.
A protest was received on April 16, 2024 and DPSCS denied it on May 3, 2024. The protest
asserted that their proposal showed a superior technical proposal and a lower overall price and,
therefore, should have been the recommended offeror. However, they did not provide
substantiating evidence to demonstrate that an incorrect determination was made. They submitted
a Supplemental Protest on May 7, 2024. The Department denied this supplemental protest on May
9, 2024. They then submitted a second supplemental protest on May 22, 2024. The Department is
currently reviewing this response and is planning on having responded to this second supplemental
protest by June 4, 2024. This protest denial decision was appealed to the Maryland State Board of
Contract Appeals (MSBCA) on May 10, 2024. The vendor then appealed the denial of their
supplemental protest on May 16, 2024. Hearing dates for these appeals have not yet been set.
The recommended awardee, Centurion of Maryland, LLC (Centurion), provided the proposal with
the superior technical ranking and best value to the State, despite being the more costly proposal.
With Centurion’s corporate headquarters located in Northern Virginia, their local office located in
Lutherville, Maryland, and approximately 22% of its corporate staff residing in Maryland, the
proposal forecasts that $615,209,229 of the contract’s value will be reinvested back into the
Maryland economy. Additionally, Centurion’s proposal indicates efforts to form recruitment
partnerships within Maryland focusing on relationships with local universities to draw new talent
into correctional healthcare.
The Department is requesting that the BPW approve the contract award notwithstanding appeals
in order to protect substantial State interests. The substantial state interests include:

32-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
● The Department currently provides medical and mental health services through separate
contracts, but there have been challenges with coordinating continuity of care for pre-trial
detainees and incarcerated individuals between two separate vendors. The Department
intends to award new contracts based on the population served, pre-trial and sentenced,
rather than the type of medical care provided, medical and mental health, for the entire
population. This will allow for a cohesive system that ensures that the quality of care
remains consistent and uninterrupted for the pre-trial detainees and the Incarcerated
Individuals across all of the Department’s facilities.
● The current medical and mental healthcare vendors provide services for the entire
Department, but the Pre-Trial facilities have different operational and clinical needs from
the Division of Correction (DOC) facilities. Separating the contracts by Pre-Trial and
DOC allows the Department to provide an additional emphasis on the needs of the pre-
trial detainees, providing the additional monitoring and administration that a standalone
contract allows for.
● A timely and orderly transition to the new contractor is essential to meet the contract start
date and ensure uninterrupted mental and medical healthcare services for the pre-trial
detainees and the Maryland communities.
● The Department has already modified the existing medical healthcare contract to extend
its term, which has increased the monthly costs without improving the quality of service.
● Under the proposed new contract, the Department anticipates an increased level of
performance and quality of service. The Department cannot afford to delay the
implementation of a medical and mental health care contract that will so significantly
improve the lives of the pre-trial detainees under its charge.
● Several key economic benefits in the new contract include:
○ The MBE goal that was set for this contract (30%) is 172.72% higher than the
established contract goal on the current medical healthcare contract (11%) and
114.27% higher than the established contract goal on the current mental
healthcare contract (14%). This equates to approximately $217,132,668.60 that
will go to certified MBE vendors.
○ The VSBE goal that was set for this contract (1.5%) is 50% higher than both
currently established medical healthcare and mental healthcare contract goals (1%
on both contracts). This equates to approximately $10,856,633.43 that will go to
certified VSBE vendors.
● Centurion will make substantial enhancements to the Department’s current healthcare
infrastructure that will improve the Department's quality of care, service range and
efficiency for our pre-trial detainees.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
● By providing staffing with higher hourly rates, Centurion will attract more qualified
professionals, solve ongoing vacancies issues, and provide a better quality of care to pre-
trial detainees, while also ensuring that the Department is able to hold the vendor
accountable for its performance of the contract.
The Department is seeking approval of this contract award, notwithstanding the appeals and
supplemental protest, based on the substantial State interests to obtain a more comprehensive and
robust contract in order to provide the pre-trial detainees under the Department’s care with better
overall medical and mental healthcare services. The Department is confident that the appeals will
not be successful and will only result in the unnecessary delay of the much needed contract for
medical and mental health care and utilization services.
Per COMAR 21.10.02.11.A(1), the BPW should find that execution of the contract without delay
is necessary to protect substantial State interests, and authorize the recommended contract
notwithstanding the appeals filed by YesCare.
*Centurion commits to achieving 29.992% of the 30% MBE goal and exceeding the 1.5% VSBE
goal with a commitment of 1.86% VSBE participation. Additionally, a waiver for 2.97% of the
assigned 3% Asian American Subgoal was also granted. DPSCS determined it was in the State's
best interest to grant the MBE waiver request of .008% and the Asian American Subgoal waiver
request of 2.97% due to the amount of effort provided by the vendor to achieve the MBE goal and
the lack of availability of any additional MBE firms.

34-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
Aeon Technologies, LLC has been found responsible and its bid responsive. The bid pricing has
been confirmed.
Aeon Technologies LLC's bid met all the requirements. They included estimates of the number
of regular and emergency collections and preparation time and attendance testimony at legal
proceedings. Since this is an indefinite quantity, fixed unit price contract, the contractor will be
paid for collection services and testimony based on the actual amount and type of services provided
at the unit prices that are fixed in the contract.
The price was determined to be reasonable. The bid price of $90,383.39 was compared to the price
of $45,826.21 for the current contract, which is 50.7% more than the current contract. The 41.7%
increment in the scope of work is commensurate with the bid price.
In accordance with Executive Order 01.01.1991.16 and Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR)
17.04.09, all applicants for employment in designated sensitive State job categories, as well as
State employees in the same sensitive categories, must be tested to detect the presence of illegal
drugs in their urine. In addition, any employee for which there is reasonable suspicion of using
illegal drugs must be tested. The bulk of the sensitive positions that require testing are Correctional
Officers and other personnel of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services
(DPSCS)
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract based on a limited number of
federally compliant providers of these services.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
Attempts were made to directly solicit additional vendors, but those vendors were not able to
provide the services requested due to a lack of staffing. Deer's Head Hospital Center (DHHC) is
a chronic care hospital licensed and accredited for the treatment and rehabilitation of the
chronically ill. DHHC includes an inpatient chronic disease/acute care hospital, a nursing home
unit, an outpatient renal dialysis unit, and an outpatient physical/occupational therapy unit.
The bid was determined to be fair and reasonable based on comparable services currently
performed at Western Maryland Hospital Center (WMHC). An analysis of the rates paid by
WMHC for Non-Emergency Ambulance services was done in comparison to the bid and shows
an average rate of 22.75% more.
MBE participation was not established due to the three MBE vendors identified not having the
licensure requirements or the personnel as well as the specialized equipment required to perform
this service.

Contract Description: Fiscal mapping and development of a public centralized database of all
resources available for children, youth, and families.
Award: Children’s Funding Project, Inc., Washington, DC

Procurement Method: Sole Source
MBE/VSBE Participation: 0% / 0%

Requesting Agency Remarks: This contract allows the office to remain compliant with recent
legislative updates, Senate Bill 482/ House Bill 694, to develop a public, centralized database
describing all State, local, and private resources available for children, youth, and families in the
State.
The Senate Bill 482/ House Bill 694 - Engaging Neighborhoods, Organizations, Unions,
Governments, and Households (ENOUGH Act of 2024) requires the office to establish a
framework to increase community health and safety, provide “cradle-to-career” access to high-
quality education and care, connect residents to quality jobs and in-demand occupations, enable
family-sustaining income and access to affordable high-quality housing, child care and health care
while providing high-quality support for children with disabilities, justice-involved youth and
young adults and connect individuals to state programs. Considering the lack of internal resources
and of private providers with experience and capabilities, the office determined that a sole source
procurement method is the only vehicle providing the ability to complete the project helping to
reduce poverty and enhance safety.

36-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The Children’s Funding Project is a national organization focused on public financing of cradle-
to-career supports and partnerships and has field-leading fiscal mapping and cost modeling
capabilities. This expertise is necessary to successfully execute the project. Additionally, the
Children’s Funding Project has completed fiscal mapping projects and cost modeling in the
following states and localities, demonstrating their singular expertise to conduct this type of
comprehensive fiscal mapping focused on children, youth and
families.
Additionally, the Children’s Funding Project team is the only team that has the experience to
develop and expand children, youth and family focused fiscal mapping in a fiscally and technically
efficient manner. Through the contractor’s model, they will develop the tools and provide in-
house training to staff to ensure the state government can maintain the public, centralized database
after the term of this contract ends, which is a unique and cost-effective model.
The agency finds the price fair and reasonable as it is comparable to the price paid by another State
agency on a similar project, but the current project has added components to it. For example, the
agency paid $11,500 per month for research, fiscal map and survey, whereas GOC will pay
$16,666 per month for research and analysis, cradle-to-career fiscal mapping, training, coaching
and support, outreach to community leaders and provide a presentation on findings.
MBE and VSBE participation were not established for this contract because of the lack of
subcontracting opportunities.

Requesting Agency Remarks: DHS intends to exercise the second of four renewal options to
provide local administrative services for their MEAP, EUSP, and USPP programs. OHEP has
been providing energy assistance benefits and services since 1979 to eligible low-income
customers. Local Administrative Agencies (LAAs) are responsible for outreach activities,
application intake, certification for benefits, payment processing, notification of eligibility
determinations, and appeals of benefit amounts or benefit denial.
All LAAs are currently performing well on the Contract and meeting the requirements of the
Scope of Work. While DHS still intends to transition the programs in-house to the Local
Departments of Social Services (LDSS) in each jurisdiction, the Department needs to exercise
the second renewal option to continue progressing toward the eventual transition to LDSSs. In
the program year 2024, OHEP implemented several major initiatives, including categorical
eligibility and the uniform eligibility redetermination process.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities available.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
There are no direct costs to the State or Maryland 529 for this contract. According to the contract,
the contractor will collect certain fees from account holders in the Maryland College Investment
Plan, for this contract it is the weighted average operating expense ratio, which the contractor
retains. The option amount is an estimate of the revenue to Maryland 529 collected from account
holders as an administrative fee and remitted by the contractor to Maryland 529 that is used for
administrative, operating and marketing expenses, incurred by Maryland 529 in administering the
Maryland College Investment Plan.
There has been a steady increase in the number of beneficiaries who have opted for online
enrollments. The number of paper-based enrollments has dramatically decreased due to
beneficiaries graduating from the Plan and closing their accounts and beneficiaries enrolling
online. In 2024, 99.4% of new enrollments were online. This has contributed to the lower MBE
percentage of 1.03%. Maryland 529 is working with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. to propose
opportunities for the MBE compliance to meet the 2% participation.
As a result of the legislation SB959, the MD529 Board was dissolved and all operations and
administrative responsibilities post June 1, 2023 are under the Maryland State Treasurer.
The State Treasurer’s Office is seeking BPW approval for the renewal option because it was
originally procured by the Department of Budget and Management.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Office of Finance, Maryland Department of Health determined
it is in the best interest of the state to exercise the first renewal option with the current vendor,
Maximization of Third-Party Liability Recoveries Contractor, Health Management Systems, Inc.
They provide services including automated data processing to identify liable third parties; audits;
third party liability (TPL) payments recovery; identifying new third-party resources to offset
Medicaid expenditures; Cost Avoidance and Data Matching; and conducting third-party recoveries
based on newly identified resources.
Federal and State laws require Medicaid to pay secondary to any third-party benefits to which a
Medicaid beneficiary is entitled. A state’s Medicaid program is the payer of last resort, and
although Medicaid beneficiaries or their authorized representatives are required as a condition of
eligibility to provide information regarding the availability of third party resources, it is the role
of the state’s TPL program to identify potentially liable resources and to recoup from them covered
costs that have been paid by the Medicaid program or, based on established criteria, from the
providers of service. Timely identification of these potentially liable resources also permits the
Medicaid program to avoid inappropriate payments when adjudicating claims for services and is
considered a very high priority for MDH.
The fundamental aim of this contract is to recuperate payments associated with waste, fraud, and
abuse. The contractual payment structure entails the vendor receiving a percentage of the
recovered funds. Initially, the vendor submitted an estimated proposal of $2,161,616. The vendor,
however, has surpassed this estimate and successfully recovered more funds than originally
projected. A clerical error impeded the effective monitoring of funds within the contract, resulting
in the contract exceeding its initial cost. Nevertheless, measures have been implemented by the
department to rectify and prevent such issues from occurring in the future.

Requesting Agency Remarks: During the review process for the new procurement, MLGCA was
asked if all or portions of the RFP had been reviewed by the Maryland State Advertising Agency
(MSAA), a division of Maryland Public Television (MPT) and a full-service advertising,
marketing, communications, and media buying service for Maryland State Agencies and related
organizations. A review of the capabilities of MSAA/MPT with respect to each functional area
RFP requirements was conducted by MLGCA. This review was conducted as a proposal review,
including site visits. This process lasted several months. This evaluation delayed the RFP
publication.
Additional time is needed to accommodate the time taken to conduct this review. This extension
accommodates this process and allows MLGCA to complete the RFP process and transition
potential new contractors, which may be selected.
Although MPT was not chosen as a prime contractor, MLGCA and MPT plan to enter a
memorandum of understanding to collaborate on aspects of the advertising and media efforts that
assist in the promotion of the lottery and lottery products.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Department of Human Services (DHS) intends to modify four
Baltimore City Department of Social Services’ (BCDSS) One-on-One Support Services Contracts
to provide the necessary time to complete the new Request for Proposals for Baltimore City and
Anne Arundel County. The new solicitation for services was published on January 8, 2024, and
proposals were received on March 1, 2024. DHS is currently in the process of evaluating proposals.
One-on-One Support Services are temporary supplemental services which provide individual
supervision and support for children and youth to ensure their safety and welfare and the safety
and welfare of others in the placement setting. All local agencies in Maryland utilize One-on-One
Support Services for the benefit of children in out-of-home care or foster care and play an
important role in supporting the safety, permanence, and well-being of these children in care. One-
on-One Support Services can also promote reunification and prevent future disruption and reentry
into care.
This extension will ensure continuity of care for foster youth in care until the evaluation process
is completed for the new solicitation and new Contracts are put in place.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities available.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the new procurement was
issued on November 14, 2023, and the evaluators received the proposals on March 12, 2024. Per
the RFP, a two month transition period is required prior to the start of the next contract. This
would have required that the next contract be approved by May 1, 2024, a deadline which was not
feasible.
MDH is seeking an extension of the current contract to ensure that services provided by the existing
vendor are not disrupted. An extension is requested to maintain the deliverables schedule and
timeline to ensure the submission of timely, complete, and accurate data to the National Program
of Cancer Registries and North American Association of Central Cancer Registries.
This contract provides quality assurance and database management services for the Maryland
Cancer Registry (MCR). These services include registration and processing of cancer and benign
brain and central nervous system tumor reports for Maryland residents and non-residents
diagnosed or treated in Maryland; quality assurance activities; preparation of reports; data
processing; providing technical training for reporting entities in Maryland; and submitting
Maryland data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Program of Cancer
Registries, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Fair Hill Special Event Zone is managed by the DNR, is a
world class equestrian sport venue that has undergone significant capital development in recent
years, through public and private investment, providing the State of Maryland with a suitable
facility to host the annual Maryland 5-Star event, as well as steeplechase racing, timber racing, etc.
It is expected that the venue will continue to attract high-profile equestrian events serving as a
source of revenue for DNR while providing a positive economic impact to Cecil County.
The Maryland 5-Star Event is competed at the highest level within the sport of Three-Day
Eventing, which is sanctioned by an international governing body known as the Fédération
Equestre Internationale (FEI). FEI has sanctioned only two, five-star events in the US and seven
total in the entire world, one of which being Fair Hill’s Maryland 5-Star event. FEI continually
reviews venues hosting five-star events to ensure compliance with standards for events at this
highest level of competition, and proper footing is a primary factor. As future approval is only
granted if these standards are met, it is crucial to continue to receive the same standard of care it
has experienced throughout the prior service years.
Beyond the Maryland 5-Star Event, it is expected that additional equestrian events – such as
steeplechase, timber, and flat racing – and regular training activities will be added to the annual
calendar beginning in the upcoming 2024 service year. While it is anticipated that these added
events will generate further revenue for the State of Maryland, there will be a corresponding
increase to the required facility maintenance.

as having the “best footing in the world” during the 2023 Maryland 5-Star event. T
The new procurement was delayed due to the complicated nature of this procurement, the

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires
an independent Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) Review to be conducted for all Managed Care
Organizations (MCO) to calculate, report, and use in the development of actuarially sound rates as
stated in Article 42 CFR 438.8. This contract provides desk reviews and audits of the Cost Reports
of Providers of health care to Medical Assistance participants to assure compliance with applicable
laws and regulations and as the basis for rate setting and making Cost Settlements.
The contractor conducts MCO AUP Reviews for all MCO Providers to be able to assure the State
that the expenditures of each MCO are accurately reported in accordance with appropriate
regulations. For example, for states to receive Federal Financial Participation (FFP) for
Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSH) payments, federal law requires states to submit an
independent certified audit and an annual report to CMS describing DSH payments made to each
DSH hospital. The report must identify each disproportionate share hospital that received a DSH
payment adjustment and provide any other information the federal government needs to ensure the
appropriateness of the payment amount.
This modification will assist the Department in remaining compliant with the Office of Legislative
Auditor's request for more stringent oversight as well as ensure that Medicaid claims are paid
appropriately.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
Replacing the METS/WITS system is cost prohibitive. Should the Department be required to
obtain the services from another provider it would include database development, software
customization, data migration, and training involved for a brand new system. The initial estimate
of a new system far exceeds the cost of maintaining the existing METS/WITS application. DJS
considers not only the monetary cost of replacing this system, but the personnel costs of our staff
testing, learning and implementing a new system.
FEI Com, Inc. has a proven track record of communication, timely delivery, and an understanding
of the unique business environment facing DJS. They are the sole provider and developer of the

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Family Investment Administration (FIA) is the largest service
program within DHS, accounting for 67% of the Department’s $4.1 billion budget and serves an
average of 943,000 Marylanders annually. The FIA team administers federal economic assistance
programs that ensure seniors don’t have to choose between buying medicine they need and paying
their rent. We help struggling families put food on the table. We help keep children in their homes.
We foster meaningful connections to workforce development and career opportunities, so
Maryland does not continue to leave potential on the table. And we serve to unlock opportunities
for Marylanders, particularly in communities that are underestimated and underserved.
Maryland’s method for serving 943,000 Marylanders is the Electronic Benefit Transfer System
(EBT). Through the EBT system, over 382,000 households access Supplemental Nutrition Access
Program (SNAP) benefits and over 32,000 households access cash benefits. The EBT card is
called the Independence Card. It is a debit-type card that can access SNAP and/or cash benefits
that are deposited into an EBT food or EBT cash account of a customer each month. Once benefits
are deposited into an EBT account and the availability date is reached, the customer can begin
using them with their Independence Card. The Independence Card can be used at any retailer
authorized by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) or Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in the United States, Guam and the Virgin Islands
displaying the Quest® logo. The cardholder must use a four-digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN) with the Independence Card to authenticate each transaction.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The new EBT system will directly contribute to our work in 2024 and through 2026. The Request
for Proposals (RFP) was solicited in September 2023 and incorporates the statutory requirements
of Senate Bill 2 (2023) of a next generation system that better secures people’s benefits. When
combined with our work in improving our customer service call center, MDTHINK system
improvements, the new EBT system will directly impact the Marylanders we serve and, we
believe, for the better and more effectively.
Implementation of the new EBT system will take approximately six months. The six-month
transition will require a full upgrade of the State’s EBT system.
Prior to February 7, 2020, the contractor was compliant and exceeded the MBE participation.
They replaced the MBE subcontractor in order to meet the required participation in 2022 and
were placed on a corrective action plan in March 2023. They have slowly, and steadily increased
their MBE participation since March 2023.

Requesting Agency Remarks: On October 21, 2020 the Board of Public Works (BPW) approved
an implementation service contract, DGS 13-IT, 10/21/2020 to replace the outdated Electronic
Patient Health Records (EPHR) system. The contract was terminated for convenience after the
vendor failed to meet several critical milestones and was unable to implement corrective actions
to bring the project back into compliance. DPSCS then extended the contract with the incumbent
EPHR vendor, DGS 63-IT-MOD, 06/08/2022. The Department is currently working to procure,
develop, and implement the successor program, EPHR II, which will replace this legacy system.
The procurement for the EPHR II system is in progress.
The EPHR system is a mission critical tool that is used to document and manage medical
information for individuals within the Department’s custody. The Department is in the process of
replacing the legacy EPHR system through a new procurement but will need to implement a
modification to provide continuity of services to provide the Department with time to complete a
new contract and implement a new EPHR system. In addition, the modification is necessary to
provide enhancements to the legacy EPHR system to continue complying with the legal
requirements outlined in the Duvall v. Moore settlement agreement to avoid litigation and costly
penalties. The legal requirements outlined in the settlement agreement include process
improvement, training, system improvements, and enhanced reporting.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities.

Requesting Agency Remarks: In December 2021, DHCD launched the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 (ARPA) funded Homeownership Assistance Fund to provide financial assistance to
Maryland homeowners at risk of displacement due to the pandemic. The program specifically
provides assistance with delinquent mortgage payments, as well as other housing-related costs
(property taxes, water bills, HOA fees, etc). It also provides funding for home repairs that could
otherwise displace the homeowner.
DHCD has successfully helped over 20,000 homeowners who were at risk of displacement. DHCD
works closely with housing counseling agencies, legal services, and the MD Dept. of Labor and
Dept. of Assessments and Taxation (the State Tax Sale Ombudsman) to do outreach efforts to
anyone in Maryland facing foreclosure.
DHCD launched the program amid continuing changes from the US Treasury. In addition, there
have been dramatic shifts in the interest rate environment and the mortgage servicing industry,
requiring DHCD to shift ways to help homeowners, creating new assistance methods and
accompanying operating procedures. As the HAF program winds down, DHCD needs additional
services from the contractor such as grant closeout assistance, Treasury reporting, audit assistance,
loan repayment assistance, and payment reconciliation assistance. This modification will add
contractual line items for these services without any increase in the contract’s total not-to-exceed
amount. The costs of these added labor categories are offset by reduced utilization of labor
categories already on the contract.

application portal that was the core required element of the RFP’s scope of work. The portal was
anticipated to be proprietary software with little opportunity for MBE subcontracting, while the
program management services were desired, but not required from contractors. For this reason,
DHCD did not set an MBE participation goal for this contract. However, DHCD did expressly
identify promotion of MBE,VSBE, and SBE firms as a priority for the State and encouraged
offerors to subcontract with these firms where opportunities were present in proposed solutions.

Contract ID: Voting System Solution; D38B3600008
ADPICS No.: COK43501
Contract Approved: DoIT 7-IT, 12/17/2014
Contract Description: Statewide voting system hardware, equipment repair, and maintenance.
The voting system solution produces a verifiable paper record of each voter’s selections.
Modification Description: Purchase 250 ExpressVote tables for the 2024 Presidential General
Election. They are needed by the local boards of elections to deploy to Early Voting and Election
Day voting locations. The tables are used to provide a private and stable platform for the
proprietary ExpressVote units that are used to mark ballots electronically and are manufactured to
meet and adhere to ADA requirements for accessibility.

MBE/VSBE Participation: 0% / 0%
MBE/VSBE Compliance: 0% / 0%
Performance Security: No
Requesting Agency Remarks: Without the procurement of the ExpressVote tables, the local boards of
elections will not have the supplies needed to deploy the desired levels of equipment to the voting
locations across Maryland for Early Voting and Election Day. If the local boards are required to reduce
the number of ExpressVotes deployed for in-person voting, there are heightened risks of extended wait
times for spoiled ballots due to more voters being required to mark ballots by hand.
Currently, over 3,600 of the same tables are used in Maryland. Any deviation from what has been used
and set up by election judges will also increase the risks of negative impacts to voter flows and
experiences within the voting location.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities available.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Comptroller of Maryland (COM) is implementing a COTS
Integrated Tax System (ITS) Solution. The ITS Solution will replace the State of Maryland’s
existing tax administration, tax processing, imaging, accounting, collections, and Abandoned
Property (AP) systems, and all necessary hardware, software, and services required for
implementation of the Solution. The Solution shall be implemented in a hosting environment
provided and managed by the Contractor and shall also integrate with the COM’s existing Teradata
DW. The ITS will allow the COM to efficiently administer all taxes, licenses, permits, and fees
required by law. This includes the processing and collection of personal income tax and sales and
use tax, the State’s largest sources of revenue, and the administration of Abandoned Property.
The ITS solution implementation is a multi-phased deployment. Two of three releases have been
successfully implemented. This modification is a direct result of legislative changes within the
Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act (BRFA), resulting in ITS modifications that will enfold
into the development stream of the Personal Income Tax Release currently underway.
BRFA impacts revenue operations and accounting effective July 1, 2024, or earlier. The ITS
modifications includes, (1) updating tax forms and instructions, (2) forms development, (3)
updating form business rules, (4) updating RPE processing, (5) updating Maryland Tax Connect,
(6) preparation of the sales and use tax files for the print vendor, (7) dissemination to the lockbox
vendor, (8) dissemination to 3rd party commercial software vendors, (9) testing (internal and with
external partners) of all changes prior to deployment, (10) updating internal procedures, (11)
updating internal and external guidance where appropriate, and (12) communicating changes to
both internal and external stakeholders. Several revenue distribution changes are also described.
The changes in the ITS impact RPE, Fairfax Software (Fairfax), and the Taxpayer Portal
(Maryland Tax Connect). The impacted tax types and fees are Sales and Use Tax (“SUT”),
Tobacco Tax, and Transportation Network Company (“TNC”) Impact Fee, as well as the
Combined Registration Application (“CRA”).
The modification amount includes a 10% contingency added to the proposed amount for the base
term for unforeseen circumstances that may be encountered during implementation. Circumstances
may include temporary staff, additional hardware/software, legislative changes requiring new
scope, or project delays caused by shifting State priorities.

Resident Business: No
Fund Source: 100% General Funds
Agency Remarks: Three bids were received, but only one bid was determined to be
responsive and responsible. One bid was not responsive because the vendor is not listed
as a qualified master contractor under CATS+ for Functional Area III, and the other bid
was not responsive because the bid required acceptance of terms and conditions outside
of the scope of the CATS+ Contract for Functional Area III - Manufacturer’s Software
Maintenance.
The Department has determined the proposed price to be fair and reasonable using a
comparison to the cumulative CPI inflation rate over the term of the current contract. The
cumulative CPI inflation rate during the term of the current contract was 17.27%;
comparatively, this bid price represents an increase of only 17.04% over the price of the
current contract. Since the contract price increase is less than the cumulative rate of
inflation, the Procurement Officer deems this pricing to be fair and reasonable.
MBE and VSBE participation were not established for this contract because there were
no subcontracting opportunities.

The Department of Assessments and Taxation received seven proposals and six were
determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. One proposal was

The zero percent MBE and VSBE participation was based on SDAT’s goal was to reach
the largest number of vendors to receive the highest level of experience for these
services. There were over 300 MBE vendors that could have potentially been awarded

87-EX. EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT
Office of the Attorney General
Recommendation: The Office of the Attorney General is requesting approval to use the Expedited
Procurement method as per the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 21.05.06.03.
Description: The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) requests approval to replace the main
file server and network switching infrastructure at 200 St Paul Place. The timing to procure and
implement the new file server warrants the need to utilize the Expedited Procurement method.
Specifically, the urgent circumstances under which an Expedited Procurement is determined to be
the best method for conducting this procurement include the need to ensure the work of the OAG
is not further impacted by a major computer network failure. The current critical file server issues
are hindering our ability to carry out our mission and the legal business of the state to protect
Marylanders.
The OAG computer network serves approximately 500 users who work at 200 St. Place and in our
satellite offices in Annapolis, Hagerstown, Largo and Salisbury. Network resources are available
to our staff while in the office and when working remotely through an IPSec VPN. Currently, our
Data Center has 45 physical and virtual servers which access over 180 Terabytes of data. These
servers support over 50 independent databases, applications and reporting engines for Divisions
throughout OAG.
The current file server is a single HP DL385-P Gen 8 server connected to an HP MSA 2040 SAS
drive array. The drive array has 35 terabytes of effective space and connects to an online Microsoft
Azure cache containing 80 terabytes of data. The current network interface for the file server is a
4 link Adapter Team with 4 GbE total throughput. The server and SAN are no longer eligible for
extended warranty support. The SAS reached End of Service Life in April of 2023.
The current network switching infrastructure is based on HP Procurve 5412zl Chassis Switches
which were purchased in 2010. The 5400zl series was discontinued in 2015 and reached the end
of Service Life in 2020. The switches no longer support the data throughput required for video
conferencing and sustained large scale data transfer. We experience network lag across multiple
switches on a regular basis which leads to unpredictable glitches in video conferencing sessions,
file access delays and intermittent dropouts while using a VPN connection for remote work. The
new file server proposed requires eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections to function and our
switching infrastructure needs uplinks of 25 Gigabit Ethernet to transfer data effectively. The
current infrastructure will only support 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Our computer system is vital to conducting the legal business of the State. The current file server
is obsolete. Users are experiencing untenable delays. eDiscovery is discovery in which the
information is provided in electronic format. The amount of data required for eDiscovery has
grown exponentially in the last nine months and is beyond the capacity of the current file server.
We are currently receiving new storage requests of up to 20 TB/week.
The requested solution will allow us to host more files, provide better accessibility, and increase
flexibility to our users and reduce the cache/stub file traffic caused by the limited data storage of
the current environment.
Pursuant to Maryland State Finance & Procurement Article (SFP) § 13-108 (d)(1), OAG’s
Procurement Officer with approval of the Agency Head has determined that this procurement
should be expedited because: (1) urgent circumstances require prompt action; (2) an expedited
procurement best serves the public interest; and (3) the need for the expedited procurement
outweighs the benefits of making the procurement on the basis of competitive sealed bids or
competitive sealed proposals. However, the procurement officer shall attempt to obtain as much
competition as reasonably possible per SFP § 13- 108 (d)(2).

88-EX. EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT REQUEST
Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services
Recommendation: The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (the “Department”
or “DPSCS”) requests approval to utilize the Expedited Procurement method for the purposes of
construction of the replacement of the […] perimeter security fencing for the Roxbury Correctional
Institution (RCI) as per the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 21.05.06.03.
Description: The RCI […] perimeter fencing system was originally constructed in 1983 and has
reached its end of life. In 2019, the Department identified the fencing for replacement and
submitted a Capital Project Program (Capital Program) Part 1 and 2 for review to the Department
of General Services (DGS) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). The Capital
Program included a new Gatehouse and Visitor Center, along with the fence system replacement.
Comments were returned by DGS/DBM that same year. The final version of the Capital Program
was submitted in 2022 to DGS/DBM and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
The Capital Program is currently under review; however, the need to replace the fence portion has
superseded the normal State review process for the remainder of the Capital Program.
DGS has submitted the Architectural and Engineering (A&E) portion of this contract as an
Expedited Procurement item (Item 89-EX). The A&E plans are to include a phasing plan for a new
security fence system, an intrusion detection system, […] and an exterior patrol loop road. Once
the A&E services portion has been completed and the selected vendor has provided construction
documents and specifications to DGS, those documents will be shared with staff at DPSCS, who
will utilize those documents to expeditiously bring on a construction firm to replace both the inner
and outer security fence system; replace the attached […] and patch and overlay the perimeter
patrol road.
The timing to procure and construct a security fence system warrants the need to utilize the
Expedited Procurement method. An Expedited Procurement has been determined to be the best
method to conduct this procurement, and the use of a more formal procurement method would
impose significant public safety impacts on the State. If this contract is not awarded in a timely
manner, the public safety of local communities and the general welfare of Incarcerated Individuals
could be impacted. The fence sustained some damage during a recent wind storm. The existing
fence system has been reinforced and ongoing monitoring is underway.

Requesting Agency Remarks: Per COMAR 21.05.09.02, as a Primary Procurement Unit, the DGS
Office of State Procurement (OSP) may initially sponsor or participate in, renew, modify, or
administer an Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (ICPA) on its own behalf or
on behalf of another agency when a determination is made under SFP §13-110 and COMAR
21.05.09.04.
The State of Maryland, Department of General Services (“DGS”) seeks to execute a modification
to extend the period of participating addendum (“Participating Addendum”) with Verizon
Wireless, AT&T Corp and T Mobile USA, Inc. under the National Association of State
Procurement Officials (“NASPO”) Valuepoint’s Wireless Voice, Data & Accessories (“NASPO
Contract”). NASPO strives to make the governmental procurement process more efficient by
establishing competitively priced contracts.
The NASPO ValuePoint alliance aggregates the demand of all 50 States, The District of Columbia,
and the organized US territories. There are currently 50 States with Guam and the District of
Columbia, PA’s against this NASPO Master Contract for Wireless Voice, Data, and Accessories
(2019-2029) (Utah) for wireless services and equipment. This cumulative purchasing power and
multi-state and locality volume buying results in more favorable rates than the State would
otherwise obtain by contracting directly to the vendors.
The Office of State Procurement (OSP) has determined that the continued use of the NASPO
Master Contract for Wireless Data, Voice, and Accessories (2019-2029) provides greater cost
benefits to the State than if the State procured these products and services independently. AT&T
Corp., T-Mobile USA, Inc. and Verizon Wireless are the three national suppliers for the required
services. The economies of scale gained by joining the other 49 states plus the District of Columbia
and US Territories are significant. There is no way to ascertain what other States would pay if
alternative contracts were utilized as no other State is on a separate agreement. Furthermore, these
three suppliers would be very unlikely to engage with the State of Maryland outside of this NASPO
contract, as the administrative complexities and redundancies of a unique service agreement would
undermine the industry goals of standardization and interstate telecommunications compatibility.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract at the time of award in 2019. It
was determined that due to the nature of the work being performed that there are no subcontracting
opportunities available.

1.0 Master Contract: Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software (COTS) 2012 (cont’d)
Remarks: The PORFP was issued six times via eMaryland Marketplace Advantage and
emailed directly to 28 master contractors who are authorized resellers. These
solicitations resulted in no bids from approved vendors under the COTS 2012 Master
Contract because the manufacturer declined to provide a discount on services to the
approved vendors. Direct procurement from the manufacturer became the sole viable
option.
During the approval of the manufacturer's quote, it was discovered that the manufacturer
required registration to conduct business in Maryland. The manufacturer's registration
was completed on April 18, 2024, which delayed the procurement process beyond the
scheduled start date.
The price was determined to be fair and reasonable based on a comparative analysis
conducted on the award from previous years. Over the past two years, the price for
ReACT software maintenance has remained at a fixed rate of $9,922.13. In response to
the inflationary trends of 2023, there has been a modest adjustment, increasing their rate
by approximately 4.8% this year.
MBE and VSBE participation were not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The market has a wide variety of offerings for the ‘end user’ population of lobbyists and advocates
who track legislation/regulations, a smaller variety of offerings for agencies and legislative clerks
who draft and propose legislation/regulations, and very few for the middleman process of
publishing and maintaining legislation/regulations. What exists are often products developed for
other things with an expensive side-line adapted to meet this niche use case.
Electronic Filing System (ELF) oversees the intake, assessment, and publishing pipeline for the
Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), meaning every Maryland agency relies on it to be able
to promulgate changes in their regulations (including the regulation under which this justification
is being submitted). COMAR currently contains approximately 9,000 pages of regulations, with
changes published every two weeks.
No MBE or VSBE participation was established for this contract because no subcontracting

95-EX. EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT
Department of Health, Office of Health Care Quality
Recommendation: The Maryland Department of Health on behalf of its Office of Health Care
Quality is requesting approval to use the Expedited Procurement method as per the Code of
Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 21.05.06.03
Contract Description: The Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) on behalf of the Secretary of
the Maryland Department of Health (MDH or the Department) issues State licenses which
authorize forty-seven (47) types of healthcare facilities and community-based programs to do
business in Maryland. On behalf of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human
Services, OHCQ conducts certification, recertification, and Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendments (CLIA) activities. The Social Security Act mandates the establishment of minimum
federal health and safety and CLIA standards that must be met by providers and suppliers to
participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Based on outcomes from certification surveys,
OHCQ makes recommendations regarding certification of a provider or supplier to the Centers of
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Once certified, a provider or supplier may participate in
and seek reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid for services rendered to beneficiaries.
As the only regulatory body within the State of Maryland that can perform these functions, it is
through licensure and certification activities that OHCQ fulfills its mission to protect the health
and safety of Marylanders and to ensure that there is public confidence in the health care and
community delivery systems. OHCQ’s mission is that all those receiving care in Maryland can
trust that their health care facility or program is licensed and has met the regulatory standards for
the services that they offer. Per federal standards, long term care facilities must be inspected
annually.
The timing of surveyor inspection and investigation is driven by regulation as well as complaints
filed against a facility. Failed surveys result in action plans developed by the facilities to address
findings, which can range from minor to immediate jeopardy to health and safety of residents.
Failure to remedy the findings from a survey can result in penalties to the facility. It is through
this process that MDH holds facilities accountable for providing the appropriate care and attention
to their residents.

95-EX. EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT (cont’d)
MDH has been working on a competitive solicitation aimed at addressing the persistent backlog
of complaints, a recent lawsuit, however, brings into question the Department’s ability to ensure
the public health, safety, and welfare for Marylanders who currently, or in the future, may reside
in long term care facilities. The lawsuit brings to light concerns of abuse and neglect in long term
care facilities throughout the State, noting that failure to inspect facilities has led to “pressure
ulcers, falls, and unnecessary seclusion” as well as residents with mobility impairment being
treated more poorly compared to residents without. Moreover, the lawsuit alleges in the absence
of these inspections, “dangerously poor-quality care within nursing facilities goes undetected and
uncorrected.”
As such, this expedited procurement is needed to identify and mitigate potential harm to
Marylanders residing in long term care institutions. While the lawsuit names certain facilities, the
services procured through this expedited procurement would provide additional nurse surveyors
that would enable MDH to survey many more facilities to determine if others are providing
appropriate care. Without these additional surveyors there will be delays in surveys which could
place vulnerable residents at risk. As such, MDH requests authorization to use the Expedited
Procurement method to contract with multiple vendors who can provide the nurse surveyors
necessary in order to mitigate and avoid a critical impact on the public health, safety, and welfare
of Marylanders.
Pursuant to Maryland State Finance & Procurement Article (SFP) § 13-108 (d)(1), MDH’s
Procurement Officer with approval of the Agency Head has determined that this procurement
should be expedited because: (1) urgent circumstances require prompt action; (2) an expedited
procurement best serves the public interest; and (3) the need for the expedited procurement
outweighs the benefits of making the procurement on the basis of competitive sealed bids or
competitive sealed proposals. However, the procurement officer shall attempt to obtain as much
competition as reasonably possible per SFP § 13-108(d)(2).
