A Practice Area of Browntown Group LLC

Public projects in Pennsylvania operate under three distinct compliance frameworks. Using the wrong one — or managing them improperly — creates audit exposure, payment delays, and contract risk. Browntown Group provides compliance monitoring, documentation management, and capital program governance across all three:

Philadelphia OEO Compliance (City of Philadelphia Contracts & Subsidized Projects)

  • Economic Opportunity Plan (EOP) development and monitoring
  • M/W/DSBE participation tracking and utilization documentation
  • Good faith effort documentation and OEO response support
  • Commercially Acceptable Function (CAF) verification
  • Workforce diversity goal monitoring and reporting

Pennsylvania BDISBO/SDB Compliance (Commonwealth Contracts via DGS)

  • Small Diverse Business (SDB) participation advisory
  • PRISM portal reporting and compliance management
  • 14-day prompt payment monitoring for construction/design subcontracts
  • BDISBO audit preparation and corrective action documentation

Federal DBE Compliance (IIJA-Funded Infrastructure Projects)

  • DBE Utilization Plan development and monitoring
  • Good faith effort documentation for federally funded projects
  • DBE reporting to FHWA, FTA, and EPA
  • Commercial usefulness verification

Capital Program Governance & Finish-Line Delivery

  • Payment readiness assessment and documentation completion for stalled capital projects
  • Administrative closeout support: getting field-complete projects to full administrative completion
  • Retainage release facilitation and small contractor payment tracking
  • Executive dashboard: payment cycle time, backlog volume, projects closed
  • Contractor capacity building and MBE/LBE certification navigation
