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
