Attachment D - Operational Templates.docx

This is an operational template document for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) pertaining to GP-103 permit review procedures under the SPEED Act (Streamlining Permits for Economic Expansion & Development Program). The document serves as an index of six template documents used in the GP-103 permitting process: an incompleteness letter, general permit ineligibility letter, checklist, deficiency letter, draft public notice for the PA Bulletin, and tentative denial letter. These templates standardize communications and procedures for permit applications submitted under the expedited review program established by Article XVIII, Sections 1803-1805 of Act No. 54 of 2024. The SPEED Program enables third-party applicants to engage Qualified Professionals to conduct expedited reviews of permit applications when specifically requested. Bidders may be individuals or business entities meeting specified criteria to qualify as Qualified Professionals. All work must comply with the Scope of Work requirements and DEP contract terms and conditions.

Bids for the SPEED Program should be submitted electronically to RA-EPSPEED@pa.gov with the IFB title clearly stated in the subject line. Applicants responding to multiple related IFBs must submit separate emails for each opportunity. Questions regarding bidding procedures should be directed to Brian Franklin at 717.787.2471 or brfranklin@pa.gov. The document does not contain specific pricing terms, contract duration, site visit requirements, or award dates, as it functions primarily as an administrative index of operational templates rather than a comprehensive scope of work or bid solicitation document.
