Prompt Pay Discount Form

(Invoice discounts for receiving fast payments)

Revised 3/9/07 Bidder Name: .

Vendor Code (VCUST): .

Contract/RFR Number(s): .

Prompt Payment Discounts (PPD). All contractors/vendors doing business with the Commonwealth must provide a Prompt Payment Discount (PPD) for receiving early payments unless the Contractor/vendor can provide compelling proof that providing a prompt pay discount would be unduly burdensome. Contractors benefit from PPD by increased, usable cash flow as a result of fast and efficient payments for commodities or services rendered. Contractors who agree to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) increase the prompt pay benefit by ensuring that funds are paid directly to their designated bank accounts, thus eliminating the delay of check clearance policies and traditional mail lead time. Payments processed through the state accounting system (MMARS) can be tracked and verified through the Comptroller’s Vendor Web system using the Vendor/Customer Code assigned to you by a Commonwealth department.

The Commonwealth benefits because contractors reduce the cost of products and services through the applied discount. While Bidders/Contractors have flexibility in determining the actual % discount(s) offered to the Commonwealth, the discount(s) must be identified for 10, 15, 20 and/or 30 days for payment issuance in the column entitled “% Discount Off Proposed Price” below. The Commonwealth may use the prompt pay discounts submitted as a basis for selection and may negotiate discounts as deemed in the best interest of the Commonwealth. The requirement to offer PPD discounts may be waived by the Commonwealth on a case-by-case basis if participation in the program would be unduly burdensome, provided the specific reason for the hardship is outlined below.

All discounts offered will be taken in cases where the payment issue date is within the specified number of days listed below and in accordance with the Commonwealth’s Bill Paying Policy. Payment days will be measured from the date goods are received and accepted / performance was completed OR the date an invoice is received by the Commonwealth, whichever is later to the date the payment is issued as an EFT (preferred method) or mailed by the State Treasurer. The date of payment “issue” is the date a payment is considered “paid” not the date a payment is “received” by a Contractor.

If internal Bidder/Contractor systems require an alternate method of measuring payment issue dates, the Bidder/Contractor must note the issues below or on an attached page if necessary to be considered by the PMT. In cases where the Bidder/Contractor considers that offering a Prompt Payment Discount would be a hardship, the Bidder must clearly define the issues and reasons for said hardship. Providing volume discounts or other discounts on prices is not considered a hardship, since the PPD provides the additional benefit of early cash flow for the Contractor.

Enter the Prompt Payment Discount percentage (%) off the invoice payment, for each of the payment issue dates listed, if the payment is issued within the specified Payment Issue days. For example:

5% - 10 Days 4% - 15 Days 3% - 20 Days 2% - 30 Days

If no discount is offered enter 0% Prompt Payment Discount % Payment Issue Date w/in

% 10 Days % 15 Days % 20 Days % 30 Days

The Contractor is unable to provide a prompt payment discount due to the following hardship:

Volunteer and Contractor Training and Acknowledgement of Prison Rape Elimination

Act (PREA) - Attachment IV

I have been informed of and understand each of the following specific items about the PRISON RAPE ELIMINATION ACT (PREA) of 2003 listed below:

(1)

Federal law specific to incarcerated persons, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003, requires that the Department of Correction (DOC) take steps to prevent staff-on inmate and inmate on inmate sexual contact of any type from occurring in or around DOC facilities and/or property.

(2)

The Department has zero tolerance toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment and is committed to preventing, detecting, and responding to such conduct as outlined in 103 DOC 519 - SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION POLICY. The Department embraces the standards set forth by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission and the American Correction Association for all state correctional jurisdictions.

(3) State and Federal law specific to incarcerated persons forbids sexual contact of any type or kind whatsoever by an employee/volunteer or contractor in or around DOC facilities and/or property

(4)

Sexual misconduct between an employee/volunteer or contractor and an inmate is forbidden and may result in discipline up to and including termination and referring for prosecution Department employees, contractors, volunteers and inmates who engage in sexually abusive behavior. Sexual misconduct can consist of conversations, gestures, or correspondence of a sexual nature. This includes demeaning references to gender or sexual preference, or sexually suggestive or derogatory comments about body or clothing, or obscene language or gestures. Sexual misconduct also includes voyeurism which is an invasion of an inmate’s privacy by peering at an inmate in private situations outside of those required by supervisory or security policies and procedures.

(5)

I have a duty to report any sexual misconduct between an employee, volunteer or contractor and an inmate that I observe or have reason to believe occurred and must report it to the Shift Commander as required. If I fail to do so and such is proven pursuant to policy, there could be disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or criminal action.
