Eds: APNewsNow; Will be updated after 10 a.m. meetingANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland Board of Public Works is scheduled to consider a $2.4 billion prescription drug contract for state employees.
The board's consideration on Wednesday comes after a prolonged debate over whether Rockville-based Catalyst Rx should keep the contract or if it should go to Missouri-based Express Scripts Inc.
The Maryland Department of Budget and Management has recommended that Express Scripts receive the contract, because the state could save as much as $102 million under the company's proposal.
The board has postponed voting on the contract pending a decision by the state's Board of Contract Appeals on Catalyst's protest of the procurement process. That board rejected the protest last month.
The Board of Public Works is comprised of Gov. Martin O'Malley, Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot.
