A1. MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (cont’d)
Remarks: Nature of Emergency (Original Contract, from Emergency Report Sec. Appendix A1,
1/17/2024 BPW): On November 30, 2023, the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center (CTPHC)
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.
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 (this Item): The CTPHC boiler system creates low pressure steam
which is used to generate heating hot water and domestic hot water, distributed thought 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.

Appropriation Code: L0901
Remarks: Nature of Emergency: In September 2022 the Spring Grove Hospital Center (SGHC)
experienced a water main break near the Tuerk Building. The cost to repair this water
main break was initially to be handled as a small procurement (under $50,000 at the time).
However, due to the increased stress on the system, a ripple effect occurred and caused two (2)
additional water main breaks in November and December 2022. As the vendor was still on-site
completing the September 2022 repairs, SGHC, under the direction of the prior OCMP
Director, engaged the vendor to complete the necessary repairs since the water could not
be shut off to Asylum Lane as it is directly connected to SGHC’s central kitchen and

Remarks (cont’d):
cafe. The two subsequent repairs would have brought the costs over the small
procurement threshold and an emergency was declared so that the work could take
place immediately. These actions are being reported under one continuous emergency; there
were three separate proposals for each water main break, the initial small procurement and two
other contracts.
Basis for Selection: The vendor had an active contract for plumbing services for the facility.
Reason for Late Report: As part of MDH’s efforts to address the Office of Legislative Auditors’
findings noted in the October 2023 Office of the Secretary Audit, and under the Office of
Contract Management and Procurement’s (OCMP) new leadership, an internal inquiry
revealed that this emergency procurement award had not been reported to the Board of Public
Works. Further in December 2023, OCMP leadership identified a lack of knowledge transfer to
the MDH facilities regarding emergency procurements. OCMP has since issued an internal
memorandum to the MDH facilities, advising of the updated emergency procurement regulations
and internal procedures to ensure that emergency procurements are properly tracked and
reported.

Remarks: Nature of Emergency: On December 28, 2023, the Maryland Military Department
(MMD) became aware of a severe steam leak that impacted the heating system at the Fifth
Regiment Armory. Due to the winter season with its low temperatures, the Department sought to
prevent further damage, specifically water pipes freezing, bursting and causing additional
damage. Further, the safety of the Maryland National Guard members and MMD state
employees who work at the Fifth Regiment Armory is of utmost importance.
The Department began the process and obtained approval from the DGS’ Acting Deputy Chief
Procurement Officer to proceed with this emergency procurement. The two bids received came
from certified small businesses.
Basis for Selection: MMD selected a contractor who has experience with working with the State,
including MMD facilities. Due to the urgent nature and need to restore heat to the facility as soon
as possible, MMD awarded this contract to the responsive bidder who provided the lowest price.

4-C. MARYLAND PORT ADMINISTRATION (cont’d)
Requesting Agency Remarks (cont’d):
comprehensive understanding of the contract’s requirements. The technical proposal offered strong
experience in both the project team and comparable projects.
The project is a comprehensive modernization of all nine elevators at the World Trade Center, a
world class iconic building in Baltimore, MD. The modernization includes the replacement of the
existing direct current (DC) machines with new gearless, alternating current (AC) machines and
regenerative AC drive units. AC drive technology provides an overall increase in system efficiency
over DC technology, reduction in energy consumption, and increased safety as a result of the new
brake system. This combined with the conversion of all lighting in the cars to LED and digital hall
fixtures will result in significant energy savings to the State. In addition, the transition from DC
to AC will lower maintenance costs as DC technology is outdated by 20 years and parts and support
become more costly as manufacturers cease production of spare parts for DC equipment. Further,
AC units utilize fewer internal parts, which means fewer opportunities for failure. The
modernization also includes all new hoists, governor and compensation ropes with new sheaves,
tie-down devices, and roller guides which provide lasting safety for users.
Per BPW Advisory 2001-1, the MPA Office of Fair Practices and Procurement Review Group
reviewed this contract for potential MBE and VSBE goals and SBR designation. It was determined
that no MBE and VSBE goals should be established for this contract as there were no significant
subcontractable opportunities since elevator companies provide such work with their own forces
rather than through subcontractors. Additionally, the PRG did not designate this contract for Small
Business Reserve after a search of Maryland certified small businesses identified fewer than three
eligible small businesses as defined in COMAR 21.01.02.01B(80).
The Maryland Port Commission approved this contract on January 9, 2024.

Requesting Agency Remarks: This contract supports a full range of systems development,
maintenance, migration, and enhancement requests to support MPA’s Port Operations and Security
System. The need for senior programmers and database administrators is ongoing and cannot be
fulfilled by MPA with its own employees. With this possible future need in mind, the original
solicitation provided that MPA could acquire additional resources under the contract, by
modification and subject to necessary approvals.
MPA now needs to add three resources to fulfill the requirements of a 2021 Federal Port Security
Grant to upgrade MPA’s access control system by: (1) analyzing the existing system; (2) planning
solutions to integrate Optical Character Recognition and Quick Response technologies into MPA’s
marine terminal access security control system, to enhance the identification verification process
required to gain entrance into MPA owned and operated facilities, and to replace hard copy permits
with a machine-readable optical label that contains the permit information; and (3) implementing
the solutions adopted by MPA. The Port Security Grant requires that all grant funds must be spent
no later than September 1, 2024, or the unspent grant funds will be forfeited.
Once the upgrade has been completed, the original resource and the three additional resources
added under this contract will continue to maintain and support the MPA’s information technology
needs.
Since the 2021 grant application was approved, the MPA Office of Information Security and
Technology (OIT) has been utilizing the On Call Temporary Contingent Labor Services Contracts
of the MDOT’s Secretary’s Office to obtain the technical resources necessary to complete the work
required by the grant. However, the On Call Temporary Contingent Labor Services Contracts will
end February 2024. Therefore, MPA must obtain the necessary resources by other means. In
addition, MPA is looking to secure long-term resources, rather than short-term resources offered
by the On Call Temporary Contingent Labor Services contracts.
Since Contract 219031-IT already authorizes additional resources, the fastest contracting vehicle
now available to MPA is to add three additional resources; one senior programmer and two
database administrators under the current contract in order to complete the grant project by the
Federal deadline of September 1, 2024. Obtaining three additional resources under this existing
contract will allow MPA to obtain long-term technical resources. Therefore, MPA should obtain
necessary approvals to add the additional resources, to enable the contractor to locate and offer
suitable individuals as resources.

Real Property – Surplus
Recommendation: That the Board of Public Works approve the Maryland Transit
Administration (MTA) surplusing real property as it is excess to the agency’s needs.
Authority: Transportation Article, § 8-309(g) Annotated Code of Maryland
Property: MC #22-5113
Hurlock Freight Rail Right-of-Way (± 1.01 acre)
and Revertible Easement (± 0.023 acre),
Charles Street, Hurlock, Dorchester County
Grantor: State of Maryland, Maryland Transit Administration
Grantee: Town of Hurlock
Consideration: $1
Appraised Value: $54,900 – Gary R. Anglemyer, MAI
Lisa Ward, Review Appraiser
Special Conditions: The subject property will revert to MTA if the Town of Hurlock
ceases to use the property. Secondly, proceeds for any sale or lease or license of any property
interests within the subject property will be received by MTA and not the Town of Hurlock.
State Clearinghouse: The Clearinghouse conducted an intergovernmental review of the
project under MD20230518-0405. It is recommended to declare the +/- 1.01 acres of rail right of
way with a former waiting station and pavilion surplus to the needs of the state and to approve a
+/- 0.023-acre easement—both located at Charles Street at Gay Street and Mill Street in the Town
of Hurlock—for transfer to the Town of Hurlock, upon consideration of the Maryland Department
of the Environment’s qualifying comments.
None of the local or state agencies that provided review comments expressed an interest in
acquiring the properties; however, according to the project application documents, “the Town of
Hurlock expressed an interest to acquire the subject property from MDOT MTA”.

Requesting Agency Remarks: The Town of Hurlock owns the waiting station and adjacent
pavilion, but MTA owns the land upon which both structures exist. MTA, as successors in interest
to the State Railroad Administration (SRA), who initially entered into a certain Access Agreement
with the Town of Hurlock dated July 11, 1991, regarding the installation of a station building, is
proposing the disposal of this property. The SRA Access Agreement was anticipated to remain in
effect until a Quitclaim Deed was prepared conveying the property to the Town for their use.
However, this process was never completed, and MTA is now proposing to convey the parcel (and
easement) to address the existing encroachments contemplated in the original SRA Access
Agreement.

Requesting Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The HVAC renovations at the MDOT SHA’s Glen Burnie Maintenance Facility represent
systematic upgrades and modernization for the equipment. The HVAC systems were designed for
compliance with the International Energy Conservation Code, and the State of Maryland’s Climate
Solutions Now Act (CSNA) of 2022. The CSNA is an initiative to phase out fossil fuel usage.
Upgrades to the facility reduces the electrical consumption of the facility and its reliance on fossil
fuels. The variable refrigerant flow equipment operates as a heat pump and replaces the fuel fired
system that was used in the previous design. The overall design provides a low energy usage,
efficient system that provides comfort to the individual spaces served in the facility.
State Highway Administration has confirmed J. F. Fischer, Inc.’s bid price.
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 12% MBE Participation goal has been established for this
project, to which the recommended awardee has committed. No VSBE participation goal was set
due to no certified firms available to perform the work.

intersection. This was parkland that Howard County had previously acquired with Project Open

replacement property to the County that is of a similar size and is adjacent to Centennial Park. The
subject (1-acre) parcel is contiguous to the park and was selected by the County as meeting the
mitigation needs.
SHA proposes to convey the subject property to Howard County to fulfill the mitigation
requirements of the POS funding. There will be no monetary compensation for this transaction
due to SHA and the County exchanging properties of similar value.

Agency Remarks: The engineer’s cost estimate for this project is $156,289. During
design meetings with MDH it was determined, after the issuance of the engineer’s
estimate, that some new ceilings, custom windows, and additional duct needed to be
added. These changes added $93,700 to the estimated cost. Additionally, DGS has been
experiencing a considerable increase in cost for equipment, materials, and skilled labor.
These costs on average are almost double from prior years. DGS has determined the bid
of $322,687 to be fair and reasonable.

The amount of $17,636,857.84 is the total of the base and escalated rates of the seventh highest
recommended award. The other 15 bids exceeded the amount.
Deer’s Head Hospital Center provides services as a last resort to individuals who require Long-
Term Acute Care services including specialized brain injury services as well as to individuals who
require Skilled Nursing Facility services. Holly Center provides Immediate Care Facility for
Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities as well as a Day Program, Recreation, Dental and
Ancillary Therapy Services. Eastern Shore Hospital Center provides Inpatient Mental Health as
well as Inpatient and Outpatient Forensic services. In order to comply with the required staffing
ratios, the contractors will provide temporary and supplemental/backup Registered Nurses (RNs),
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Geriatric Nursing Assistants (GNAs), Direct Care Assistants
(DCAs) and Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) to Deer’s Head Hospital Center, Holly Center, and
Eastern Shore Hospital Center.
The procedure for determining usage assignments among the awardees is that the contractor with
the lowest bid price by nurse classification (RN, LPN or GNA) will be given the opportunity to
provide staff or the right of first refusal. If the contractor is unable to perform the requested
services, the contractor with the next lowest bid price will be asked to provide the requested
services.
DBM provided a memo stating Agency Nurse Services Solicitation is exempt from SPP § 13-402
under the provisions of SPP §13-404 (b)(1) because no State employees are available to perform
this service.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities available due to work orders are for a single resource, and MBEs and
VSBEs were encouraged to be prime contractors.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
Myers and Stauffer LC. was able to demonstrate strong qualifications and capabilities. They have
five decades of experience in average actual cost (AAC) methodology and State Actual
Acquisition Cost methodology (SAAC).
Myers and Stauffer LC. also proposed a work plan which includes a pharmacy reimbursement help
desk service that uses a proprietary help desk tracking system. This system serves as a program-
performance monitoring tool for MDH. Myers and Stauffer LC. also uses a help desk process with
three levels of review to ensure provider concerns are considered appropriately.
They use survey-based methodology to collect and compile acquisition cost data for state-specific,
Medicaid-participating pharmacies, to determine actual prices paid to purchase drugs. This ensures
characteristics unique to a state’s providers are taken into consideration and mitigates potential
criticism that rates are not reflective of providers’ actual experience.
Additional services resulted in a higher price than the prior contract with Myers and Stauffer LC.
for similar services. In 2017 the price was $2,047698. Given the additional services, the price of
$3,409,472 is determined to be fair and reasonable.
This contract originally included 5% MBE participation and Myers and Stauffer LC agreed to
exceed the participation by 10% and achieved 15 % participation.

Requesting Agency Remarks: As required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, the MTA has
operated paratransit services for disabled and elderly adults since the late 1990s. A key component
of the Paratransit Program involves determining the eligibility of applicants and providing formal
certification based upon interviews and physical or cognitive functional assessments to use the
door-to-door paratransit transportation services in lieu of fixed-route transit services. The
contractor is responsible for ensuring quality assurance, providing appeals/complaints resolution,
and dissecting complex medical information to assess and determine eligibility of applicants.
IPS Lynx, Inc., the original awardee and Institute of Health and Human Performance, Inc. dba
Biokinetix have executed a novation agreement in recognition of an acquisition.
The vendor is currently not achieving the required MBE participation due to issues related to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The vendor began working with an MBE subcontractor once again which
will increase their MBE compliance. The vendor is minority-owned and is currently seeking MBE
certification. A Corrective Action Plan from the contractor has been submitted to outline their
approach for increasing MBE participation.

Hiring Agreement Eligible: Yes
Requesting Agency Remarks: The contractor is currently conducting evaluations of homes with
electric heating systems. This option will ensure services provided under this contract continue.
Also, HB169 as supported by the Public Service Commission (PSC) Order increased DHCD's
programs by approximately four times its current size and reduced the timeframe for developing
the plan.
DHCD is in the middle of implementing a new Hancock Energy Programs database. Hancock
requires support with translating the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) data to a digestible
format that can then be programmed into the new database. The timing and technical assistance
Hancock requires is beyond the abilities of staff to achieve within the timeframe necessary to keep
it on track for bringing the database on-line in a timely manner and before the start of the next
EmPOWER program cycle.
The Cadmus Group has submitted a Corrective Action Plan for meeting their MBE participation
goal and is committed to seeking opportunities to increase roles and project workshare assigned to
MBE subcontractors. They will continue to work with DHCD in identifying roles to increase
progress toward the participation requirement. The MBE subcontractors identified certain
efficiencies when completing their tasks that enabled them to complete work with fewer hours at
a lower cost than originally anticipated, resulting in a lower MBE participation. Cadmus has
demonstrated good faith efforts to comply with the contract’s MBE goal by allocating additional
tasks to the subcontractors.

Requesting Agency Remarks: MTA currently uses Primary Rate Interface (PRI) trunks, a soon-
to-be-obsolete technology, as part of their communications system. This contract will allow MTA
to transition to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks, an industry standard for initiating,
maintaining, modifying, and terminating real-time communications sessions between Internet
devices. SIP makes it possible for devices on networks to communicate through voice, messaging,
video, and other applications. This transition will increase the system’s switch capacity in terms
of the number of simultaneous calls the agency can handle and allow employees to have the option
to work remotely. Also provides the replacement of 16 servers from 2008 and upgrade of the
OpenScape software.
Unify, Inc. is the original developer of the proprietary interfaces for the MOCC and TICC that
were created and customized for MTA. The proprietary nature of the interface prevents other
vendors from being able to maintain the equipment and Unify, Inc. remains the sole source vendor.
MTA has determined that the price offered is fair and reasonable for the services to be provided,
based on historical pricing for similar projects.

Requesting Agencies are managed as a staffing model on a labor rate basis, either on an hourly or
annualized basis. Favorable rates continue to be provided by the Contractor.
The requested increase in the Time and Material amount for the renewal term is due to the existing
work orders and the continued growth of demand and usage of the services provided, particularly
in connection with the migration of critical security functions in house, and delays in the award of
new procurement vehicles to provide the services necessary to support DoIT and state Agencies
with IT initiatives.

Requesting Agency Remarks: Despite DSCI’s extensive efforts, not all accepted members were
able to secure a host site placement by the program launch date. In addition, not all organizations
were able to start members on the launch date, due to their own internal processes and procedures
and their organizations needed more time to onboard members through their HR processes. DSCI
then had to quickly strategize on how to keep accepted Maryland Corps and Service Year Option
members engaged during the interim period after launch in October and before members started
their positions. To do this DSCI developed, in partnership with BuildWithin, a program to provide
professional development training to members until they secured a host site placement. The quick
turnaround required to ensure continuity of the members’ experience did not allow DSCI sufficient
time to seek approval by the BPW before securing these services.
DSCI regrets this resulted in a retroactive contract action. Please be assured that DSCI recognizes
that retroactive contracts are not desirable. DSCI is working diligently to avoid retroactive
activities by establishing best procurement policies and procedures.
MBE and VSBE participation was not established for this contract because there are no
subcontracting opportunities.
DGS OSP Remarks: RETROACTIVE approval requested pursuant to § 11-204( c) State Finance
& Procurement Article. DGS OSP has determined that this contract should be treated as voidable
rather than void because: (1) all parties have acted in good faith; (2) ratification for the procurement
contract would not undermine the purposes of the Procurement Law; and (3) the violation, or series
of violations, was insignificant or otherwise did not prevent substantial compliance with the
Procurement Law.

operation and effect of the existing agricultural preservation easement in exchange for 0.168 +/-
acres of contiguous land to be added to the existing agricultural preservation easement area by
amending the Easement.

Releasor: The State of Maryland, to the use of the Maryland Agricultural Land
Preservation Foundation of the Department of Agriculture
Releasee: Tammy N. Sanderlin
Property: 0.168 +/- acres
Grantor: Doris E. Gruber
Grantee: The State of Maryland, to the use of the Department of Agriculture
on behalf of the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation
Foundation
Property: 0.168 +/- acres
Consideration: No Monetary Consideration
Remarks: Reference is made to Item 6-RP of this Department's Agenda of 09/10/09, for the
meeting of the Board of Public Works wherein approval was given to the Maryland Agricultural
Land Preservation Foundation (hereinafter, “MALPF”) to acquire an agricultural preservation
easement (the “Easement”) on 135.19 acres of land for $420,831.25 (the “Easement Property”).
Purchase of the Easement was completed on 2/25/09. Board of Public Works Approval is
requested to grant a partial release wherein the State of Maryland, to the use of MALPF, will
release a 0.168 +/- acre area of land from the operation and effect of the Easement in exchange for
the addition of a 0.168 +/- acre parcel of contiguous land of equal soils to the agricultural
preservation area by amending the Easement.

49-RP. REAL PROPERTY (cont’d)
Remarks (cont’d):
In February, 2023, Frederick County notified MALPF that certain improvements intended to serve
a child lot previously released from the Easement encroached onto portions of the Easement
Property. The child lot, known as Lot 6, Gruber’s Estates (“Lot 6”), is owned by the Releasee,
Tammy N. Sanderlin. This request is being made to adjust the boundary lines of Lot 6, the
previously released child lot, and the Easement Property, so that the improvements intended to
serve Lot 6 will be located exclusively on Lot 6 and will not encroach onto the Easement Property.
The foregoing will be accomplished by releasing an approximately 0.168 acre area from the
Easement in exchange for the addition to the Easement of an approximately 0.168 acre area of
equal or better soils from Lot 6 which is adjacent and contiguous to the Easement property. The
Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation’s Board of Trustees has approved the
transaction. A plat depicting the exchange of land is attached hereto. The appraisal unit of the
Department of General Services has found that the exchange will have a net neutral effect on the
value of the existing easement. Costs associated with this exchange will be paid by the Grantor,
Doris E. Gruber.

50-LL. LANDLORD LEASE
Department of Natural Resources
Recommendation: Approve a Curatorship Lease
Tenant: Joseph Cucchiara and Evelyn Cucchiara
Property Location: Susquehanna State Park (Structures on 9 acres +/-)
Lease Type: Curatorship Lease for The James Stephenson House
Term: Life Term, termination upon the death of the last surviving tenant
Annual Rent: $1.00
Utilities/Custodial Responsibility: Tenant
Remarks: The James Stephenson House is 2-½ story frame house built in a number of phases over
the course of two centuries. The house began as a log house, resting on a fieldstone foundation.
The property remained in the Stephenson family until 1895. The property was sold to the State of
Maryland in 1969 as part of an acquisition to be incorporated as part of Susquehanna State Park.
In addition to the house, the property includes a mid-19th century frame smokehouse, a stone
laundry/quarter, ruins of a corn crib/granary, and a 20th century concrete block garage. The James
Stephenson House is a good example of rural farm architecture that clearly illustrates the evolution
of buildings as a result of changing styles, uses, and building technology over the course of over
two centuries.
The property is listed on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties as HA-570. It is also listed
on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource to the Lower Deer Creek
Valley Historic District, HA-1551. The property will be leased in “as is” condition and will be
restored, renovated, rehabilitated, and maintained by the Tenant through the Curatorship program.
The Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises as a single-family residence. The restoration,
rehabilitation, renovation, maintenance, and use of the Premises shall be in complete compliance
with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation–consistent with DNR’s Curatorship
program. The Tenant shall open the premises to the public for a minimum of five (5) days each
year, as arranged in cooperation with the Landlord, in order to showcase restoration efforts and the
history of the property. The surrounding Park property will remain open to the public during
normal park operating hours for outdoor recreation.

floor at the Montgomery Park complex. The landlord will
also be converting the building to all electric infrastructure and installing solar panels (a
photovoltaic array) which will provide energy credits to the State. The rent will escalate 3.45%
annually. The termination for convenience has been waived due to the turn-key tenant
improvement budget, the significant investment in the building for all electric infrastructure and
installing solar panels, and the landlord’s lender requirements.

Requesting Agency Remarks: A notice of the availability of the Request for Proposals (RFP)
was advertised on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) on December 12, 2022.
A total of 71 potential contractors were solicited. Four proposals were received on January 5,2023
and three were deemed reasonably susceptible of being selected for award. One proposal was
deemed not reasonably susceptible of being selected for award because the offeror did not submit
a complete MBE Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit & MBE Participation Schedule.
Gray, Kirk, VanSant Advertising (GKV) was selected by the evaluation committee and is one of
Maryland’s largest advertising firms with many clients from diverse sectors (government agencies,
nonprofits/associations, financial services, health insurance etc.). GKV’s technical proposal
provided insights into the diverse Maryland media market and outlined different strategies that
appeal to different audiences. They provided details on how they will implement their campaigns
and collaborate with their various partners with different strengths and qualifications. They have
previous understanding of tobacco control issues impacting Maryland audiences and the local
media market and have fostered partnerships at the community level during their COVID 19
campaign across Maryland which will be beneficial for future tobacco control campaigns. They
have extensive experience in developing targeted, culturally, and linguistically relevant media
placements for different Maryland populations.
GKV detailed the items they considered while developing their budget including research
activities, concepting, development and revision of creative materials, costs associated with
royalty free photos and video footage, materials production. GKV took into consideration that
newly developed campaigns require substantial investment in the initial stages to ensure
development of quality products
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends mass-reach health communications
as an essential evidence-based element of a statewide tobacco control program that also includes
state and local level programming, cessation support, community-based programs, and other
initiatives. Implementing these initiatives is a best practice comprehensive approach to reducing
tobacco-related death and disease and eliminating health disparities.
A 10% MBE participation was established for this contract. GKV has committed to exceeding the
goal to achieve 14% MBE participation.

54-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Hiring Agreement Eligible: Yes
Incumbent: ICF Incorporated, LLC, Reston, VA
Requesting Agency Remarks: The Maryland Department of Human Services (DHS) call center
currently receives over 5,000 calls a day from the six million Marylanders that it serves and drives
the daily work of over 6,000 State employees. The call center is one of the three primary customer
contact points at DHS, along with its website and the 24 Local Departments of Social Services
(LDSS). Implementing a new contract for call center services to begin on August 1, 2024 after the
current call center services contract ends on July 31, 2024, is one of the Department’s greatest
responsibilities, in line with the Administration’s values and promise to be responsive and follow-
through to Marylanders.
A notice of the availability of the Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised on eMaryland
Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) and the DHS website on August 1, 2023. Nineteen potential
offerors were also directly solicited and 15 proposals were received in response to the RFP on
October 6, 2023.
Eight of the 15 proposals were determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award
and were ranked accordingly. See table above. Seven proposals were determined not to be
reasonably susceptible of being selected for award based on the following reasons:
● Two Offerors did not submit Technical Proposals;
● Two Offerors did not submit the Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE)
Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit;
● Two Offerors did not properly complete the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)
Utilization and Fair Solicitation Affidavit; and
● One Offeror did not respond adequately to the scope of work.
The recommended awardee (the Contractor) will implement, operate, and manage a new Customer
Service Center (CSC) for the Department. The Contractor must provide a technological solution
for this project, which includes an Interactive Voice Response System, Automated Call
Distribution, and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The technology solution
must integrate with the Department’s MD THINK hosted applications and will be used by the
Contractor’s staff to respond to customer inquiries received via telephone and through the DHS
website.

54-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The scope of the new contract in the RFP was expanded compared to the current contract to better
meet the needs of the Department’s customers to include the development and integration of the
CRM with the MD THINK applications, including Eligibility & Enrollment (E&E), Maryland
Child, Juvenile and Adult Management Systems (CJAMS), and Child Support Management
System (CSMS). The new CSC will include a new Department-wide CRM system to be used at
the Local Offices. It gives license access to 3200 staff, allowing DHS to provide customers with a
more streamlined experience, whether walking into a local department or calling the call center.
At the end of the contract, DHS will own the CRM. In addition, the new contract includes Service
Level Agreements (SLAs) to hold the Contractor accountable for better performance throughout
the life of the contract. For example, a specified call answer time of thirty (30) seconds on ninety
percent (90%) of calls is required. The pricing for this contract also includes extended hours of
service, which the Department can implement at its discretion and in the event of an emergency or
other crisis event. The extended hours of call center services account for about $40 million of
AHS’ pricing for the contract.
The current contract has a history of excessive wait times for customers, causing a high rate of
abandoned calls. The use of SLAs in the new contract will give the Department the tools necessary
to impose sanctions if the service levels and response times are not met. In order to provide better
and more responsive call center services that its customers deserve, the Department requests to
move forward with the new contract award to allow time to properly transition between the old
and new contracts.
A protest was filed on December 21, 2023, alleging that criteria other than those set forth in the
solicitation were used to evaluate its offer, and/or the criteria was improperly utilized in the
evaluation of its offer. Specifically that past and present performance under the DHS and other
contracts should not have been considered in evaluating its proposal. The protest was denied by
the Department on January 9, 2024, based on the timeliness of filing, standing to protest, and the
fact that past performance can be used to evaluate the experience and capabilities of the Offeror to
provide the services as specifically outlined in the RFP. An appeal was filed with the Maryland
State Board of Contract Appeals (MSBCA) on January 18, 2024. A hearing date has not been set
yet.

54-S. SERVICES CONTRACT (cont’d)
Agency Remarks (cont’d):
DHS is requesting that the BPW approve the contract award notwithstanding appeals
in order to protect substantial State interests. The substantial State interests include:
● Not moving forward with a new contract vendor means that DHS will be forced to negotiate
and modify the incumbent vendor’s contract before it expires on July 31, 2024. This will
likely result in terms unfavorable to the state, including additional unforeseen costs to the
state. Even if the incumbent vendor’s contract is modified and extended at the current
terms, that means that the Maryland and federal taxpayers are paying approximately $20
million a year for services that do not live up to our expectations or those of the people we
serve.
● The data from the current call center paints a consistent picture of failing to serve our
customers, including long wait times in excess of 15 minutes, and peaking over 30 minutes
at times, resulting in more than 10,000 calls being abandoned per week. Such failures have
led to real impacts on Marylanders, including case closures, delays and even the
unnecessary and incorrect denial of benefits. Such actions have led to individuals/adults,
children, and their families losing access to life saving benefits such as health insurance
and food.
● A 25% MBE participation goal and a 1% VSBE participation goal has been established for
this contract. The MBE goal is 15% higher than the current contract goal of 10%. AHS
has committed to meeting these goals.
● AHS will locate the call center at 250 West Pratt Street in Baltimore, creating local
opportunities for more than 200 customer service representatives and other support staff.
● The RFP clearly defines newly added Service Level Agreements so that the Department
can hold the contractor accountable for performance of those matrices.
● The RFP provides for a more substantial and interactive CRM that will interface with MD
THINK cloud based applications. The new CRM with the interface will increase
efficiencies and services for customers and staff will see and be able to take action on
customer accounts in real-time. The IVR is enhanced as it will be conversational and
dynamic. The CRM and IVR will be customized for the Department and at the end of the
contract the Department will own these systems, though these features will cost more
money to the Department, it will go a long way in resolving the customer complaints and
issues.
● Promotes a timely and orderly transition to the new contractor in order to successfully meet
the start date of the contract and begin without any disruption of services to customers.

Agency Remarks (cont’d):
The Department is seeking approval of this contract award notwithstanding the appeal based on
the substantial State interests to obtain a more robust CSC from the current contract as noted above
that will assist the Department in providing better customer service to its customers; and the
appellant does not have standing due to its overall ranking is 4th. The Department is confident that
the appeal will not be successful and will only result in the unnecessary delay of the much
improved and needed CSC contract for call center 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 protest and appeal filed by ICF.

A1-EX. EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT REQUEST
Department of Budget and Management, Employee Benefits Division
Recommendation: The Department of Budget and Management (the “Department” or “DBM”)
requests approval to utilize the Expedited Procurement method for the purposes of acquiring
Medicare Prescription Drug Exchange and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) services
for the State of Maryland’s Medicare Retirees pursuant to Maryland State Finance &
Procurement Article (SFP) § 13-108 (d)(1).
Description: In response to the State’s pension reform laws enacted in 2011, retired State
employees and Dependents eligible for Medicare due to reaching age 65 or because of Social
Security disability and eligible to enroll in the State’s Pharmacy Benefits Plan as of December
31, 2024, will be transitioned from the State’s Pharmacy Benefits Plan to the federal Medicare
Part D program at the close of 2024. To support the Participants through the transition, the State
is seeking proposals for Medicare Prescription Drug Exchange services to provide individual
prescription drug coverage to its Medicare-eligible Retirees and their Dependents. The selected
contractor will also be expected to administer a HRA for Medicare-eligible Retirees who were
hired prior to July 1, 2011, and retired prior to January 1, 2020.
The selected contractor shall provide coverage to all eligible Members and their eligible
Dependents, as determined by the State, to obtain prescription drug coverage through a Medicare
Prescription Drug Exchange. The timing to procure and implement the new contract for these
services for Maryland retirees prior to the open enrollment period for the CY 2025 Plan Year,
warrants the need to utilize the Expedited Procurement method. If this contract is not awarded in
a timely manner, the ability for Maryland retirees to obtain their prescription drugs could be
greatly impacted.
The recommended awardee will be required to administer an exchange and HRA anticipated to
begin for the Calendar Year (CY) 2025 Plan Year, which requires a “Start-Up Period” for the fall
open enrollment period for CY 2025 Plan Year. The anticipated contract duration will be five Plan
Years (CY 2025 through CY 2029) and two two-year renewal option periods (CY 2030 – CY 2031
and CY 2032 – CY 2033), plus the start-up period, final transition, and run-out period.
Pursuant to Maryland State Finance & Procurement Article (SFP) § 13-108 (d)(1), DBM’s
Procurement Officer with approval of the Agency Head has determined that this procurement
should 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).
