Bond Counsel Invitation to Qualify; No. 081-0GC-ITQ-99-01
[29 Pa.B. 5680] The Governor's Office of General Counsel (OGC) intends to establish pools of qualified counsel to serve as bond counsel to the following agencies: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Office of the Budget; PENNVEST; Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency; Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority; Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority; Pennsylvania Higher Educational Facilities Authority; and the State Public School Building Authority. OGC is seeking to review qualifications from legal service providers (law firms) for participation in four designated bond counsel pools to serve the above-identified financing agencies through a formal Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) process. To obtain a copy of the ITQ or information on OGC and the executive agencies to be served by the four bond counsel pools, law firms are encouraged to visit OGC's web site at www.ogc.state.pa.us. Law firms may also obtain a copy of the ITQ by sending a written request to M. Jane Demko by mail at Office of General Counsel, 333 Market Street, 17th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101, by e-mail at jdemko@ogc.cmicpo1.state.pa.us, or by fax at (717) 787-1788. Law firms should address questions pertaining to this ITQ to M. Jane Demko at the above-listed address, e-mail or fax. All submissions to this ITQ are due by 2 p.m. on November 22, 1999. OGC will reject as nonresponsive all submissions received after this date and time. OGC expects to make its bond counsel appointments for future Commonwealth financing transactions to law firms identified and qualified through this ITQ process and thus strongly encourages any and all interested law firms to participate at this time to ensure consideration of their qualifications to provide bond counsel services.
The period of qualification for inclusion in each bond counsel pool will commence on the date OGC approves the law firm's selection for the bond counsel pool and may extend for a period of up to 3 years, with possible renewals thereafter.
PAUL A. TUFANO,
General Counsel
