STATE CONTRACTS INFORMATION
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES

   Act 266 of 1982 provides for the payment of interest penalties on certain invoices of "qualified small business concerns". The penalties apply to invoices for goods or services when payments are not made by the required payment date or within a 15 day grace period thereafter.
   Act 1984-196 redefined a "qualified small business concern" as any independently owned and operated, for-profit business concern employing 100 or fewer employees. See 4 Pa.Code § 2.32. The business must include the following statement on every invoice submitted to the Commonwealth: "(name of business) is a qualified small business concern as defined in 4 Pa. Code 2.32."
   A business is eligible for payments when the required payment is the latest of:
      The payment date specified in the contract.
      30 days after the later of the receipt of a proper invoice or receipt of goods or services.
      The net payment date stated on the business' invoice.
   A 15-day grace period after the required payment date is provided to the Commonwealth by the Act.

RFP 2R-07 This Request for Proposal (RFP) consists of analytical studies for the Continental 1 Transportation Corridor Analysis. The required work in this project will involve three primary tasks--Economic Opportunity Analysis, Definition/Feasibility Analysis, and ITS Needs Analysis, plus numerous sub-tasks. The first primary task is the Economic Opportunity Analysis among three sectors: trade, tourism and a profile of military operations support facilities. The principle goal is to investigate existing and future trade and travel opportunities within the impacted states and between the United States and other nations relative to the Continental 1 Corridor namely Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Second, a Corridor Definition/Feasibility Analysis (creating a multi-lane, controlled-access highway, Canada to Florida) is to be developed to define the latest alignments and alternatives of a bi-national, multi-state Continental 1 transportation corridor. The corridor runs between Ontario, Canada through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida through numerous state highway systems. Third, provide a comprehensive Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) analysis of the current ITS applications deployed or planned to be deployed along the Continental 1 Corridor. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT) will lead the multi-state effort with joint cooperation of New York, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Federal Highway Administration and the Continental 1 Organization business alliance (community and government) representatives. Interested contractors may request a copy of the RFP by faxing their name, company name, address, telephone number, E-Mail address, and fax number to Vikki Mahoney at fax # 717-783-7971. Please reference RFP 2R-07 on your fax.
