FILE - Workers remove wreckage of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, April 25, 2024, in Baltimore. A Maryland board led by Gov. Wes Moore approved a $50.3 million emergency contract on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, with a company that removed debris from the March collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A Maryland board led by Gov. Wes Moore approved a $50.
Marshall Brown, speaking on behalf of the Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust in the Mid-Atlantic Region, spoke against the contract at a Board of Public Works meeting on Wednesday. He said Maryland had had time to consider numerous available contractors that could have been mobilized to do the work. He said the emergency no-bid contract went against a state procurement process that is designed to be fair, competitive and transparent.
Procuring the debris removal through competitive bidding would have delayed the removal by a minimum of eight months, according to board documents.
